about

Traditional — Brazil
I learned this song from my Brazilian friend Danha Da Hora who sings lead on this track.

Translation: Yemanja, get out of the sea
Come and get your initiate
The saint in blue, The saint of the sea
Come see your children, Yemanja
Salutation for Yemanja is Odoya. Yemanja is the queen of the
ocean, the nurturing mother of us all. She is the goddess of
fertility and abundance. Often she is seen as a mermaid dressed
in pearls and blue.

lyrics

Yemanja Sai do mar
Vem Buscar A sua Yao
A santa de azul, A santa do mar
Vem ver seus filhos,
Yemanya
Odo odo odo odo
Odo ya do ya do ya
Odo odo odo odo
Odo ya do ya do ya
Yemanja
Yemanja, get out of the sea
Come and get your initiate
The saint in blue, The saint of the sea
Come see your children, Yemanja
Salutation for Yemanja is Odoya. Yemanja is the queen of the
ocean, the nurturing mother of us all. She is the goddess of
fertility and abundance. Often she is seen as a mermaid dressed
in pearls and blue.
