A Portela chega no amanhecer
Da Ilu Ayê
Okê okê ô Maculelê
Erê erê erê erê Ilu Ayê
Quando odara aqui chegou
O seu lamento era constante
Saudade de quem ficou
Lá na África distante
Só o tempo conseguiu
Gente boa convencer
Aumentando o amor
Pela nova Ilu Ayê
Okê okê ô Maculelê
Erê erê erê erê Ilu Ayê
No descanso o negro tinha
O direito de sambar
No pátio da Casa Grande
Até o dia raiar
Umbigada africana
Bamba foi o capoeira
Samba duro angolano
Levantava até poeira
Okê okê ô Maculelê
Erê erê erê erê Ilu Ayê
O Rosário foi o nome
Que ele deu a irmandade
Ele hoje é feliz
E alegre na sociedade
Nos Folguedos, na magia
Teve sua afirmação
Trabalhou tanto que um dia
Alcançou a abolição
Okê okê ô Maculelê
Erê erê erê erê Ilu Ayê
