In Portuguese and English

Watch this song on youtube

Quando a maré baixar
Vá lhe visitar
Vá lhe fazer devoção
Vá lhe presentear

No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá

Vários negros foram pro Brasil
Bantus, Nagôs e Iorubás
Dentro do navio negreiro
Deixaram suas lagrimas correr no mar

No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá

Sua lagrima que correu no mar
Tocou no peito de Iemanjá
Ela podia mudar a maré
Fazer meu navio voltar pra Guiné

No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá

~

When the tide is low
Go to visit her
Go to make your devotion to her
Go make offerings to her

In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá

Various black people were brought to Brazil
Bantus, Nagôs and Yorubás
In the slave ship
Let your tears run into the sea

In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá

Your tears that ran into the sea
Touched the heart of Iemanjá
She could turn the tide
Make my ship go back to Guinea

In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
