Minha mãe

At night loneliness comes to assault me
At night I sing louder to not cry
During the day longing wants to wake me up earlier
But those who know me learn to wait for me

I was born at night, daughter of a star
The mermaid sings just to lull me
I grew up at night like the full moon
Pushing clouds away to illuminate you

Scented water for Yemanja
The wave goes to come back later
I left my dreams in the high sea
Those who know me learn to wait for me
I left my dreams in the high sea
My weight in gold for whoever finds it
