Saravá Mãe Joana
O atabaque o ogam tocou
E la na Bahia ecoou
Peço licença ao meu senhor
A mãe Joana já chegou
Logo na sua chegada
Levo os joelhos ao chão
E seu sorriso faceiro
Acalma meu coração
Com seu jeito acolhedor
E sua tranquilidade
Nos protege em seu colo
Não importando a nossa idade
O atabaque o ogam tocou
E la na Bahia ecoou
Peço licença ao meu senhor
A mãe Joana já chegou
Com sua toca amarela
Reza desde o pelourinho
E com as flores do campo
Ela perfuma meu caminho
Faz trabalho, faz mandinga
Traz seu axé para o terreiro
Transmite a luz de Aruanda
Para todo o povo macumbeiro
O atabaque o ogam tocou
E la na Bahia ecoou
Peço licença ao meu senhor
A mãe Joana já chegou
