Inside the slave shipDentro do navio negreiro
Leaving their tears to run in the seaDeixando suas lagrimas correr no mar

In the seaNo mar
Lives YemanjaMora lemanja

Her tear ran in the seaSua lágrima correu no mar
Touched the chest of YemanjaTocou no peito de Iemanjá
She could change the tideEla podia mudar a maré
Make my ship return to GuineaFazer meu navio voltar pra Guiné
In the seaNo mar
