Samba-Enredo 2025 - Ómi Tútú ao Olúfon - Água Fresca Para o Senhor de Ifón

It's about to begin
It's about to begin
It's about to begin
It's about to begin

The itã of Oxalá is about to begin
Follow the funfun parade for the Lord of Ifón, Babá
The itã of Oxalá is about to begin
Follow the funfun parade for the Lord of Ifón, Babá

Orinxalá sets forth on his path
To the kingdom of the fourth Alafin of Oyó
Alá, majestic in ivory white
Consults Ifá, and thus
Within the Odú, a cruel omen
Denying the babalaô's word
Sovereign on his throne, the lord
Sees sweetness turn to bitterness

Offer to Exu, an ebó will protect
Exu's penance never cools down
He breaks the silence with his laughter
A closed gate, the burden of duty
Offer to Exu, an ebó will protect
Exu's penance never cools down
He breaks the silence with his laughter
A closed gate, the burden of duty

But the master of the path does not relent
It was palm wine, dendê oil, and charcoal
African soap to wash away troubles
And his mount takes him to prison
The people fell ill, sorrow endured
Throughout seven years of solitude

Greater justice comes from my Father Xangô
He brings fresh water for true justice
Greater justice comes from my Father Xangô
My Father Xangô dwells high in the quarry

Nagô precept to purify
Untie the knot that no one can bind
Axé overflows in the Ibá and the quartinha
To strengthen, there's acaçá, ebô, and prayer

Oní sáà wúre, awúre, awúre
He who rules this terreiro wears his adê
Ijexá for the Father of all oris
The Imperatriz atabaques thunder
Oní sáà wúre, awúre, awúre
He who rules this terreiro wears his adê
Ijexá for the Father of all oris
The Imperatriz atabaques thunder
