Proteção

At dawn I prayed for protection
Asking for the warmth of your fire
Praying that it ties my faith

Suddenly Oxalá taught me
About love and compassion
About the justice of my Father Xangô

Open the paths Father Ogum
Heal the wounds Mother Iansã
Bring abundance Father Oxossi
From ancestral medicine

I prayed again; lit the candle
My angel descended
Laroyê Exu! Saravá Seu Tiriri!

Faithful Protector. You are my Guardian!
Laroyê Exu! Ôôôiê
