Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, babá
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, babá
Vem das águas de Oxalá
Essa mágoa que me dá
Ela parecia o dia
A romper da escuridão
Linda no seu manto
Todo branco
Em meio à procissão
E eu
Que ela nem via
Ao Deus pedia amor
E proteção
(2x):
Meu pai Oxalá
É o rei
Venha me valer
Meu pai Oxalá
É o rei
Venha me valer
O velho Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
O velho Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
Que vontade de chorar
No terreiro de Oxalá
Quando eu dei
Com a minha ingrata
Que era filha de Iansã
Com a sua espada
Cor-de-prata
Em meio à multidão
Cercando Xangô
Num balanceio
Cheio de paixão
(2x):
Meu pai Oxalá
É o rei
Venha me valer
Meu pai Oxalá
É o rei
Venha me valer
O velho Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
O velho Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, babá
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, babá
