Louvação a Oxum

Kerêô I declare to the house that I am arriving
Who knows, may come to fetch me in celebration

I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me
I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me

Oxum who heals me with fresh water
Without a drop of blood
Mistress of the hidden, the one who knows and keeps silent
In the pure freshness of her abode
Oh! My mother, queen of the rivers
Water that makes children grow
Mistress of the lake breeze
Divine body without bone or blood

I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me
I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me

I salute those who break in war
Lady of the silently flowing waters
Oxum of the waters of all sounds
Water of the dawn in the sea now
Beautiful mother of the flower garland
Joy of my morning

I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me
I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me

Ipondá that hides in the dark
From afar comes to me the sparkle of your eyelashes
Oxum is water that separates death
Oxum improves the troubled mind, yê yê I will pray!
Blessed wave that floods the house of the traitor

I will pray to Oxum
I adore Oxum
I know it
Xinguinxi with me

Oxum that I bless in the mouth of the day
Oxum that I adore
Rich in gifts, wealth of the rivers
Oxum that I called, that I didn't call
Adê-okô, lady of the waters
