Did she come to get me, or just visiting?Veio me buscar, ou só de visita?
I sway with the seaEu vou no balanço do mar

Oxalá sent, sent to fetchOxalá mandou, mandou buscar

Yemanja sent the waters of the seaIemanjá mandou as águas do mar
To carry the offerings that Janaína throwsCarregar as tizilas que Janaína atirar
And I went to AruandaE eu fui à Aruanda
How beautiful it is thereComo é bonito lá
