Lyrics: Aidê era uma negra africana, Tinha magia no seu cantar Tinha os olhos esverdeados E sabia como cozinhar, Sinhozinho ficou encantado E com aide ele quis se casar Eu disse: Aidê, não se case, va pro quilombo pra se libertar, Aidê foge pra camugerê (coro) No quilombo de camugere Liberdade Aid, 2
