Desde o tempo do cativeiro
A magia imperou
Os negros vieram da África
Com sofrimento e dor
E chegando à Bahia
Bahia de São Salvador ô ô ô
Os negros pediam aos deuses
Pra amenizar a sua dor
Nas noites de lua cheia
Eles cantavam com fervor
Arerê caô meu pai arerê
E nas noites de magia
Pretos velhos festejavam
O grande mestre oxalá
E a rainha Iemanjá
Num batuque de lamento
A noite inteira sem cessar
Eles festejavam os deuses
Cantando pra não chorar
