Viva meu povo negro
Viva que eu quero cantar
Viva meu povo negro
Se foi o tempo de chorar
Cada lágrima caída em todo negro que viveu
A escravidão sofrida fez mais forte o sonho seu
De um dia não distante ver seu povo livre sim
Cativeiro cruciante tinha que chegar ao fim
Viva meu povo
Viva meu povo negro êee
Viva que eu quero cantar
Viva meu povo negro êee
Se foi o tempo de chorar
Curuzu mandou dizer que o Ylê vai ofertar
Juntamente com Muzenza Olodum Oju Obá
No terreiro de Mãe Hilda com permissão de Olorum
Com Amalá pra Pai Xangô
Feijoada pra Ogum
A festança de um rei não pode ser ser Ajeum
Viva meu povo
Viva meu povo negro
Viva que eu quero cantar
Viva meu povo negro
Se foi o tempo de chorar
