Estou aqui pra viver
À procura de amor
Por onde for
Ouvindo ora iê iê
Quero pertencer
A uma filha D`Oxum
Olorum, me diz o que fazer
Pra encontrar esse amor
Que seja doce prazer
Que cheire a jasmim
Ou a macaçá
Que cace em mim meu querer
Com a mesma constância
Das ondas do mar.
Olorum, eu sempre vou crer
Que vou encontrar
Uma gueixa formosa
Loura cor de rosa
Ou uma preta quase azul
Que goste de Itapuã
E vai se arrepiar
Nas festas do Gantois
Olorum, como é bom saber
Que vai me ajudar
Vou aguardar oh Olorum
Numa noite de luar
Rival de Insã
Paixão de Xangô Ó, minha filha D`Oxum
