Devagar com esse nêgo mandingo
Ele sabe apanhar a folha
Sabe mexer na erva
Sabe rezar a reza
Sabe curimar
Quando bate vem cabôco e orixá
Quando dança tudo que é erê vem dançar
Nó de amor que ele faz ninguém desata
Ele é dono do tempo, do vento
Do mar e da mata
Ói que esse nêgo malê
Foi rei no Senegal
Vem de lá o seu poder
Para o bem e para o mal
No pescoço um talismã
Na cintura um tecebá
Seu remédio é curador
Seu veneno é de matar
Foi nas águas de Oxum
Que lavou seu colar
Mas é Ogum Xoroquê seu Eledá
