Se Eu Fosse Só Não Estaria Aqui
Tantas batalhas venci
Muitas ainda vou enfrentar
Muitas vezes vou cair
Mas sempre vou levantar
Meu escudo é minha fé
Minha espada é o Orixá
Tenho o meu corpo fechado
Nas rezas do Jacutá
Quando eu cai, meu pai Ogum me levantou
Quando eu sofri, mamãe Oxum me amparou
Me vi perdido e Exu veio me guiar
Estava com fome, Oxóssi me ensinou a caçar
Fui humilhado e Xangô me defendeu
Fui perseguido, Oyá com os ventos me escondeu
Cai doente, Omulu quem me curou
Estava sujo, Iemanjá quem me banhou
Eu vi a morte, mas Nanã lhe afastou
Cuidou de mim e o meu pranto ela secou
Desesperado vi minha fé vacilar
Fui renovado, com as palavras de Oxalá
Se eu fosse só, já não estaria aqui
Meu orixá quem me ajudou a persistir
Na noite escura e nos caminhos me guiou
E na umbanda eu retribuo o seu amor
If I Were Alone I Wouldn't Be Here
I have won so many battles
I will still face many
I will fall many times
But I will always get up
My shield is my faith
My sword is the Orixá
I have my body closed
In the prayers of Jacutá
When I fell, my father Ogum lifted me up
When I suffered, mother Oxum supported me
I found myself lost and Exu came to guide me
I was hungry, Oxóssi taught me how to hunt
I was humiliated and Xango defended me
I was persecuted, Oyá hid me with the winds
I fell ill, Omulu cured me
I was dirty, Yemanja was the one who bathed me
I saw death, but Nana drove it away
She took care of me and she dried my tears
Desperately I saw my faith waver
I was renewed, with the words of Oxalá
If I were alone, I wouldn't be here anymore
My orisha who helped me to persist
In the dark night and on the paths he guided me
And in Umbanda I reciprocate your love
