lemanja

White lady gone to the Southern sea
Why do you appear so suddenly
We want to honor your family
With a little bitty boat set out on the sea
Iemanja, Iemanja, Iemanja
I dream of days spent in Salvador
With my little darling forever more
Taking a walk along the shore
Feels like heaven's an open door
Iemanja, Iemanja

If I were to offer a plain perfume
And if I were to honor the shining moon
As she sits so lonely upon the dune
Madre D'água, See you soon
É na Bahia Iemanjá, É baiana Iemanjá
E Iemanjá, E Iemanjá
I wanted to stay
I gotta go but I'm coming back one day (x3)
