Canto de Ossanha

The man who says 'I give' doesn't give, because the one who truly gives doesn't say
The man who says 'I go' doesn't go, because when he went, he didn't want to
The man who says 'I am' isn't, because the one who truly is says 'I am not'
The man who says 'I am here' isn't here, because no one is when they want to be
Poor man who falls for Ossanha's chant, traitor
Poor man who follows the spell of love

Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Because I'm not someone to fall for the talk of forgetting
The sadness of a love that has passed
No, I'll only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love

Friend sir, greetings, Xangô sent me to tell you
If it's Ossanha's chant, don't go, you'll regret it a lot
Ask your Orixa, love is only good if it's true
Ask your Orixa, love is only good if it hurts

Go, go, go, go, love
Go, go, go, suffer
Go, go, go, go, cry
Go, go, go, say
Because I'm not someone to fall for the talk of forgetting
The sadness of a love that has passed
No, I'll only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love
