Quando a maré baixar
Vá lhe visitar
Vá lhe fazer devoção
Vá lhe presentear
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
Vários negros foram pro Brasil
Bantos, Nagôs e Yorubas
Dentro de um navio negreiro
Deixando suas lágrimas correr
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
Sua lágrima correu pro mar
Tocou no peito de Iemanjá
Ela podia mudar a maré
Fazer meu navio
Voltar para Guiné
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá
No mar
Mora Iemanjá

When the tide goes out
Go visit her
Go and make her devotion
Go give her a gift
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
Many blacks went to Brazil
Bantos, Nagôs and Yorubas
Inside a slave ship
Letting their tears run
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
Their tears ran to the sea
It touched Iemanjá's chest
She could turn the tide
Make my ship
Turn back to Guinea
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
In the sea
Lives Iemanjá
