Ô vários negros form pro Brasil
Bantus, Nagôs e Iorubás
Dentro do navio negreiro
Deixaram suas lágrimas correr no mar

Ô, Sua lagrima que correu no mar
Tocou no peito de Iemanjá

Fazer meu navio
Voltar para Guiné
No mar

When the tide is low
Go visit her
Go make devotion
Go give her offerings
In the sea

Oh, many Black people went to Brazil
Bantus, Nagôs, and Yorubas
Inside the slave ship
They let their tears run into the sea

Touched the heart of Iemanjá
She could change the tide
Make my ship
Return to Guinea
In the sea

History

Iemanjá is one of the most important “orixas” from the Afro-Brazilian religions Candomblé and Umbanda. She can be thought of as the Goddess/Spirit/Queen of the Sea, and is often represented as a mermaid, or a beautiful woman dressed in blue. She is the patron spirit of fishermen and the shipwrecked, goddess of birth and creation, and the spirit of moonlight.
