Canto a Yemayá
Celia Cruz
Song to Yemayá
I already prayed to Changó
I already implored Oyá
I also asked Olofí for mercy
And today I sing to Yemayá
My Ochún
Copper Charity
Yemayá, my spiritual guide
Little Virgin, I am so poor
I only cry out for peace of mind
From my family, from my friends
I only cry out for peace of mind
(Yemaya, Charity
I only cry for peace of mind)
Yemayá, Yemayá my Charity
I only cry out for peace of mind
(Yemaya, Charity)
(I only cry out for peace of mind)
I sang for charity
I sing to Yemayá
I asked Olofí for mercy
And now I implore Oyá
(Yemaya, Charity)
(I only cry out for peace of mind)
(Yemaya, Charity)
(I only cry out for peace of mind)
Oh, from my family and my friends
I only cry out for peace of mind
(Yemaya, Charity)
(I only cry out for peace of mind)
Oh, from my country, from the whole world
I only ask for peace and tranquility
Yemaya, charity
I only cry out for peace of mind
