Deusa do Ébano II

Asked for a kiss and you denied me
My body burns with pure passion
Your face is gentle, black, and sweaty
And I can't even hold your hand

I wander aimlessly through this life
On this avenue, you're not here
I am nothing if you're not around
I'll go to Ilê Aiyê to look for you

Oh! My black beauty, black
Oh! My ebony goddess
Black culture Ilê Aiyê
Written on your naked body

Oh! My black beauty, black
Oh! My ebony goddess
Freedom Ilê Aiyê
Beautiful dream Curuzu
And up high I see you
Reigning beautifully with every sway
My eyes shine with happiness
My majesty, I want to love you

My life beats strongly
Drums sound at Ilê Aiyê
My soul is a black celebration
A ritual of love and pleasure

Oh! My black beauty, black
Oh! My ebony goddess
Black culture Ilê Aiyê
Written on your naked body

Oh! My black beauty, black
Oh! My ebony goddess
Freedom Ilê Aiyê
Beautiful dream Curuzu
