For My Mother
Mãe Oxúm with your crystal waters
Wash me clean, wash me clean
 
I am here and I need comfort
Wash me clean, wash me clean

Let’s give thanks for our Sons and
Daughters
They are beacons of light
Life is giving us our lessons
For us to love and hold them tight

Mãe Oxúm, Maria das Águas
You are the Lady of the Moon
Open our path and show us justice
Here in our Nation as it swoons

Mãe Oxúm, E Mamãe dós Ventós
Here I ask for this light
For my Mother, how I love her
Let me love and hold her tight
