Ponto de Umbanda - Se Eu Fosse Só, Já Não Estaria Aqui
Juliana D Passos
Umbanda Point - If I Were Alone, I Wouldn't Be Here Anymore
I have won so many battles
Many more I will face
Many times I will fall
But I will always get up
My shield is my faith
My sword is the Orixá
I have my body protected
In the prayers of Jacutá
When I fell, Father Ogum lifted me up
When I suffered, Mother Oxum supported me
I felt lost, Exú came to guide me
I was hungry, Oxóssi taught me to hunt
I was humiliated, and Xangô defended me
I was persecuted, Oyá hid me with the winds
I fell ill, Omolu healed me
I was dirty, Iemanjá bathed me
I saw death, but Nanã kept it away
She took care of me and dried my tears
Desperate, I saw my faith falter
I was renewed with the words of Oxalá
If I were alone, I wouldn't be here anymore
My Orixá helped me persist
In the dark night, guided me on the paths
And in Umbanda I reciprocate your love
That's why I prayed, prayed, prayed
I cried out to King Oxalá my father, to give me strength
On the paths through the world persisting in the religion of peace
