Surgiu no orum

Um punhado de pó

A handful of dust

O chão do reino de oió

Solo de ifé

Um grão de terra vã

A grain of empty land

Opá de oranian

Galo ciscou e espalhou

A rooster scratched and spread

Pairou, boiou

Hung, floated

A terra se multiplica no mar

Okê navega

Sobre o véu de olokum

Quando é pra guerrear

Quando é pra festejar

A espada cega corta

Sem olhar a quem

Guerreia

Quando é pra guerrear

Quando é pra festejar

E a pele preta e branca

And the black and white skin

Se desvai no além
