Iemanja lyrics

White lady gone to the Southern sea

Why do you appear so suddenly

We want to honor your melody

With a little bitty boat set out on the sea

Iemanja, Iemanja, Iemanja

I dream of days spent in Salvador

With my little darling forever more

Taking a walk along the shore

Feels like heaven's an open door

Iemanja, Iemanja

If I were to offer a plain perfume

And if I were to honor the shining moon

As she sits so lonely upon the dune

Madre d'agua, See you soon

E'na lahia Iemanja, E'laiana Iemanja

E'Iemanja, E'Iemanja

I wanted to stay

I gotta go but I'm coming back one day
