Sopra o vento de Iansã
Folhas verdes pelo céu
Cor de rosa da manhã
Baianas com seus colares e guias
Descendo em romaria
Preparam um ritual de magia
Mel e pitanga pra perfumar com dendê
Na passarela jogam água de benzer
Ôôôôô, abrem caminhos pra filha de Dona Canô
Ôôôôô, chegou Mangueira ao som do rufar do tambor
Deixa passar a menina de Oyá
Seu encanto irradia o axé do Gantois.
No esplendor de um novo dia
A voz morena traz a flor da poesia
Canta o Brasil criança
Ave sertaneja voa na lembrança
Herdeira da velha Bahia
Seu canto reza no cortejo da folia
Ela borda de ouro a melodia
Sobre um mar de fantasia
Brilha no desfile magistral
Pisa, pés descalços na avenida
Pelo povo aplaudida
Vem pra conquistar o carnaval.
Entra na roda, ô Maria
Gira a poeira
Quero ver você sambar
No embalo da Mangueira
