Fisherman's Promise
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Lady of the waters
Take care of my son
For I too have been from the sea
Today I'm old and worn out
I can't even handle the oar
Take care of my son
For I too have been from the sea
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
When your day comes
Old fisherman promises
Fisherman will take you
A very beautiful gift
For Lady Iemanjá
His son is the one who carries
From land to sea
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Ah, Alodê Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!

Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
Iemanjá, oiá!
