Leaf Bath
It was on a Wednesday
I went out to look for you
I walked the whole city
But, where are you?
Where are you?
The city is big
Many people
And me out there
Without finding you
I will ask Oxalá
Oxalá who guides
Oxalá who sent you
So many turns for no answer
So many turns for no answer
So many turns for no answer
So many turns for no answer
No answer
But a handful of sacred leaves
To heal me, to keep me away from all evil
Lightning rod, white bete, fish wing
Open the way, patchouli
Lightning rod
To ward off evil
To ward off envy
To attract love
To attract all that is good
