Dona Mariana

Lady Mariana has arrived
Lady Mariana has arrived
She is the lady of the village of Canindé
She is the lady who crosses the stream
She slipped but didn't fall
She slipped but didn't fall

It was Mariana
If it's a woman's fall
A star in the sky shone
A star in the sky shone

It was Mariana
A native woman who has descended
Lady Mariana has arrived
Lady Mariana has arrived
She is the lady of the village of Canindé
She is the lady who crosses the stream

I'm going to the big beach, I'm going there
To take flowers and roses to Yemanjá
I'm going to the beach, I'll see the mermaid mom again
I'll throw flowers on the sand, I'll release flowers into the sea
Waters that flow down from the top of the quarry
I'll greet the mermaid mom in the waves of the sea

I'm going to the big beach, I'm going there
To take flowers and roses to Yemanjá
Beautiful queen, mistress of the ocean
Queen Yemanjá come bless us
Your beautiful waters are crystal clear
Queen Yemanjá lives by the sea
I'm going to the big beach, I'm going there
To take flowers and roses to Yemanjá
