Dara [English translation]

I saw common women

Turning into queens

I saw a whole nation

Pursuing the poetry

I saw the street beautiful

Beautiful like them

Dressed like (*)Nanãs, Iansãs

And Oxuns and Iemanjás

(**)Mori omon kekere towa dje

Olorio

Mori awon arugbo I have faith kowi

Mori obinrin to dara

Kpelou onan to dara

Monfe ri inanan, iiyansan, ioshun,

Yemandja

White woman

Shake your hips

White woman

With the sculpted waist

Lay down, lay down and charm me

Between congos and sambas

And sambas and congos

Congos and sambas

Black woman, black woman, black woman, black woman

Parade your nobility

Show your beauty

Dress up

So the streets dress up too

White woman, wa djo foun mi o

Mm white woman, dje kiri idjore

O wadjo, wadjo, wa korin o

Between congos and sambas

And sambas and congos

And congos and sambas

Black woman, black woman, black woman, black woman

Parade your nobility

Show your beauty

Dress up

So the streets dress up too

I saw the street beautiful

Beautiful like them

Dressed like Nanãs, Iansãs

And Oxuns and Iemanjás
