Cantiga Maria Mulambo
Ekedji Joice de Sangó
Maria Mulambo's Song
It wasn't midnight
It was almost noon
The cemetery was full
From afar she appeared
The priest was praying
And the deceased was moving
Saint Anthony protect me
From your witchcraft
There was a lit candle
A goat at the crossroads
The souls were moaning
And she was laughing
Whoever hurts with iron
Will be hurt with iron
The greatest betrayal
Is when it comes from a great friend
They sent the owl
To visit me
I called Maria Mulambo
To help me
Mulambo sent
The owl to leave
The owl went to live
Where the false friend lives
She is Maria
She is Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
Maria Mulambo
She is Maria Maria
