Se Eu Fosse Só Não Estaria Aqui
Adriana B
If I Were Alone I Wouldn't Be Here
I have won so many battles
I will still face many
I will fall many times
But I will always get up
My shield is my faith
My sword is the Orixá
I have my body closed
In the prayers of Jacutá
When I fell, my father Ogum lifted me up
When I suffered, mother Oxum supported me
I found myself lost and Exu came to guide me
I was hungry, Oxóssi taught me how to hunt
I was humiliated and Xango defended me
I was persecuted, Oyá hid me with the winds
I fell ill, Omulu cured me
I was dirty, Yemanja was the one who bathed me
I saw death, but Nana drove it away
She took care of me and she dried my tears
Desperately I saw my faith waver
I was renewed, with the words of Oxalá
If I were alone, I wouldn't be here anymore
My orisha who helped me to persist
In the dark night and on the paths he guided me
And in Umbanda I reciprocate your love
