Ôpo de Xangô

Xangô's Dance
A bull that has an owner is not lassoed
When the owner of the bull is father Xangô
The greeting that is obanixé Kaô Kabecilê
If there's straw, there's cowrie shell, there's axé
There's moche, there's machete, there's pestle
A little ebo with ataré
The lubaça gives you a confirmation

Adja ê adja
Adja ê adja (no gere)
Adja ê adja
Adja eum adja Ogum adja
Bring the obé, cut an aquicó
Call Exu to receive Ejé
Open the xirê for father Ogum
Together with Logum Edé
The waters of the Niger, the kingdom of Oyó
The stone of Abelkuta, a chant for Xangô
Obanixé kaô in the waters of father Oxalá
