Yemanyá [English translation]

I have a love that I have lost

one that is going to kill my heart

one that I have searched for everywhere

And no one knows where he is

Someone told me that in a full moon,

To go to the beach and face the sea

To take flowers, candle too

And open the way back

Yemanya1... The full moon is in the sky

Yemanya... White dress facing the sea

Yemanya... Barefoot on the sand

Yemanya... The waves come, the waves go

A white rose

A red rose

When the sea gathers them

In the waters the sea will take them

At the stroke of midnight,

Light the candle

And ask that he come back

into my arms once again

1. Yemanya, the Brazilian goddess of the sea that grants wishes

to those who enter her waters.
