Meu Pai Oxalá
Toquinho
My Father Oxalá
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, dad
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, dad
From the waters of Oxalá
Comes this pain I feel
It seemed like the day
Breaking through the dark
Beautiful in her cloak
All in white
Amidst the procession
And I
Who she couldn't see
To God I asked for love
And protection
(2x):
My father Oxalá
Is the king
Come help me out
My father Oxalá
Is the king
Come help me out
Old Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
Old Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
I feel like crying
In the yard of Oxalá
When I ran into
My ungrateful one
Who was the daughter of Iansã
With her silver sword
In the middle of the crowd
Surrounding Xangô
In a sway
Full of passion
(2x):
My father Oxalá
Is the king
Come help me out
My father Oxalá
Is the king
Come help me out
Old Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
Old Omulu
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, dad
Atotô, abaluaiê
Atotô, dad
