Quando descer
Obatalá, orixalá
Que olorum criou
E mandou governar
Não dê sal nem dendê pro santo
Vá fazer ebô
Acaçá de arroz com mel
Inhame, ajabô, mugunzá
E deixa a pomba branca voar
Iaô saiu
Na procissão de oxalá
Toda de branco
Foi ver água pra lavar
A pedra do otá
Salve oxalufã
Salve oxaguiã
Êpa babá, êzô
Êpa babá, ezô
Salve o amigo de xangô
