Full lyrics
Vem pra roda Iaia
Vem pra roda Ioio
Vai chamar seu muleque
Já deu meia noite
E o galo cantou
O meu galo cantou
Já é de madrugada
Pai Ogum já mandou
Sacudir o despacho
Na encruzilhada
Areia, areia
Beija o Chão, saravá
Esta formato de sola
E vai baixar na roda
O rei Orixa
Translation
Come to the circle, Iaia
Come to the circle, Ioio
Go call your boy
It's already midnight
And the rooster crowed
My rooster crowed
It's already dawn
Father Ogum has commanded
To scatter the offering
At the crossroads
Sand, sand
Kiss the ground, Saravá
This sole's shape
And will descend into the circle
The king Orixá
