lyrics

Lundu dos orixás ( Benji Kaplan and Rita Figueiredo )

Bantos, jejes e os nagôs evocam
Seres arquétipos no Brasil colonial
A dor de amor e o furor sucumbe
Tempestuosa a força sentimental

Rezam as pretas, rodopiam em cores
Os deuses se multiplicam em santos
Clama ao rosário o seu dissabor
Toca o Lundu, vem Aganju

Bantos, jejes e os nagôs se curvam
Despertam o feminino de suas águas
Emergem dos rios doces e do ouro
O abebé, pássaro, boi e a cabra

Branco, azul, rosa e amarelo
Fitas e rendas de ôh Olossá
Extrai o maxixe desse lundu
A preta que exala o puro dendê

O feijão fradinho para o acarajé
Corta o quiabo para o caruru
Pimenta malagueta no vatapá
Chacoalha a miçanga do seu afoxé

Bate no sino do agogô
Grave, agudo, toca o gã
Aperta o fio com seu dobrão
Toca guri, chacoalha o caxixi
canta o berimbau, gobo

Bantos, jejes e os nagôs evocam
Seres arquétipos no Brasil colonial
A dor de amor e o furor sucumbe
Tempestuosa a força sentimental

Rezam as pretas, rodopiam em cores
Os deuses se multiplicam em santos
Clama ao rosário o seu dissabor
Soa o lundu na roda de samba e canta a Olorum
Bantos, jejes e os nagôs vem e vão
