Ela É Oyá (Iansã)

Look, the sky has cleared
When the day broke
Made the child think

The Mother of time sent word
A new era has arrived
Now we’re gonna plant

From Humaitá, Ogum shouted
Lord Oxossi tuned in
Iansã is coming

The ogã has set the stage
The drum is tuned
Now we’re gonna sing

A eparrei, she is Oyá, she is Oyá
A eparrei, it’s Iansã, it’s Iansã
A eparrei
When Iansã goes to battle
All the knights stop
Just to see her pass
A eparrei, she is Oyá, she is Oyá
A eparrei, it’s Iansã, it’s Iansã
A eparrei
When Iansã goes to battle
All the knights stop
Just to see her pass

Look, the sky has cleared
When the day broke
Made the child think

The Mother of time sent word
A new era has arrived
Now we’re gonna plant

From Humaitá, Ogum shouted
Lord Oxossi tuned in
Iansã is coming

The ogã has set the stage
The drum is tuned
Now we’re gonna sing

A eparrei, she is Oyá, she is Oyá
A eparrei, it’s Iansã, it’s Iansã
A eparrei
When Iansã goes to battle
All the knights stop
Just to see her pass

A eparrei, she is Oyá, she is Oyá
A eparrei, it’s Iansã, it’s Iansã
A eparrei
When Iansã goes to battle
All the knights stop
Just to see her pass
