Ponto de Oxumarê - Choveu, Choveu
Juliana D Passos
Oxumarê's Point - It Rained, It Rained
It rained, it rained 7 days without stopping
Everything got flooded, with Oxalá's tears
I consulted the Babalawo and also the Orixás
To know what to do, for this rain to stop
And on the Ifá board, I discovered what to do
A very beautiful offering, for my Father Oxumarê
A bowl with many cowries, ribbons to adorn
At the waterfall's drop, they asked me to deliver
I lowered, bowed my head, called for Oxumarê
Arroboboi my Father Bessém, come to help us
Then the sun shone brighter
And from the sky I saw descending
Such a bright rainbow
In it was Oxumarê
Arroboboi Oxumarê
Arroboboi Oxumarê
Arroboboi Oxumarê
Oh, my Father, come to help us!
