The song's opening words, which are taken from the earlier song "Nanã Imborô" by José Prates, are given differently by different sources. One rendering is "Ô ária raiô". Google Translate translates this into English as, "Oh, the sun has risen". This phrase is followed by the words, "Obá Obá Obá".

However, other sources claim the song's opening words are an invocation to a goddess named "Obá". |
