Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
The one who says "I give" doesn't give
Because those who give don't talk about it
The one who says "I go" doesn't go
Because when they went, they didn't want to
The one who says "I am" is not
Because those who really are say "I'm not"
The one who says "I'm there" isn't there
Because no one's there when they want to be
Poor man who falls
for Ossanha's misleading chant
Poor man who falls
Behind the witchcraft of love
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
Go, go, go, go, I won't go
I won't go
I won't go
The one who says "I give" doesn't give
Because those who give don't talk about it
The one who says "I go" doesn't go
Because when they went, they didn't want to
The one who says "I am" is not
Because those who really are say "I'm not"
The one who says "I'm there" isn't there
Because no one's there when they want to be
Hail, Xangô, my Lord King
Hail, my orixá
There are seven colors that are yours
Seven days for us to love
