Os Orixás

I’ve already asked Oxalá
My father Ogum and Iemanjá
Mama Oxum and all the children
To tell me what to do
So I don’t lose my faith
To look ahead and always believe

Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô
Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô

And there in the woods with Oxóssi
In the heart of nature
Seeing the sun shine on the waterfall
And at the turn of the millennium
I’ve asked for my Brazil
Health, peace, love, and lots of joy

Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô
Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô

The rain falls, I feel happy
A strong lightning strikes right in front of me
To confirm that she’s here
It’s the warrior Iansã, ieparrei
Ieparrei, ieparrei, ieparrei
Iansã

Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô
Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô

Hey, my father Ogum, hey, my father Ossam
Hey, my father Oxóssi, hey, Mama Oxum
Hey, Mother Iemanjá, hey, my father Xangô

Hey, my Iansã, hey, Father Oxalá
Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô
Hey, oh Xangô, hey, oh Xangô
