Canto de Ossanha

Casuarina Casuarina

Song of Ossanha

The man who says he'll give, won't
Because the one who truly gives doesn't say
The man who says he'll go, won't
Because when he went, he didn't want to

The man who says he is, isn't
Because the one who truly is, isn't me
The man who says he's here, isn't
Because no one is there when they want to be

Poor man who falls
For Ossanha's chant, traitor
Poor man who goes
After love spells

Go, go, go, go, I won't
Go, go, go, go, I won't
I won't, I won't

Because I'm not one to
Engage in conversations to forget
The sadness of a love that's gone
No, I'll only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love

Friend, sir, greetings
Xangô sent me to tell you
If it's Ossanha's chant, don't go
Because you'll regret it a lot

Ask your Orixa
Love is only good if it hurts
Ask your Orixa
Love is only good if it hurts

Go, go, go, go love
Go, go, go, go suffer
Cry

Saying that I'm not one to
Engage in conversations to forget
The sadness of a love that's gone
No, I'll only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love

Greetings, Xangô, greetings, Xangô
Greetings, Xangô, greetings

The man who says he'll give, won't
Because the one who truly gives doesn't say
The man who says he'll go, won't
Because when he went, he didn't want to

The man who says he is, isn't
Because the one who truly is, isn't me
The man who says he's here, isn't
Because no one is there when they want to be

Poor man who falls
For Ossanha's chant, traitor
Poor man who goes
After love spells, I won't
I won't, I won't

I won't because I'm not one to
Engage in conversations to forget
The sadness of a love that's gone
No, I'll only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love

Greetings, Xangô, greetings, Xangô
