Down by the sea
You can find your soul
She lingers in the shade
Beside the silver shore

I live on the mountain
But my true home is the sea
I know this journey well
I go often in my dreams

My mother receives me
She puts treasures in my hands
I long to stay with her
Beside the silver strand

She whispers and tells me
That all is well
And my time has not yet come
To the mountain I return

O Mother keep me
Simple and free
Don’t let me be entangled
In this false identity

I am a child, a daughter (son)
Of the queen
Her name is Yemanjá
She is the Queen of the Sea

I live on the mountain
But my true home is the sea
To the mountain I return
Until the day she calls to me

O Mother keep us
Simple and free
Don’t let us be entangled
In these false identities
