Dona do Raio: O Vento

Maria Bethânia Maria Bethânia

Owner of the Lightning: The Wind

Let's call the wind
Let's call the wind
Let's call the wind
Let's call the wind

"She is seen when there is wind and a big wave
She nests in the rolling of fury and flies firm and certain as a bullet
She lends her wings to the storm
When the sea lions roar in the caves,
Over the abysses, she passes and moves forward
She does not seek the rock, the cape, the dock
But makes insecurity her strength and the risk of dying, her food
That's why it seems to me a fair image
For those who live and sing in bad weather"

I am the lightning of Iansã
Blinding the steel of those who wage war
And I am also the wind of Iansã
And Saint Barbara is the saint who enlightens me (2x)

My voice is the May wind
Crossing the airs, the seas, the ground
My gaze has the force of the lightning that comes from within my heart

I am the lightning of Iansã...

I do not know a gust of wind more powerful than my passion
When love flashes inside here, my heart becomes a lightning bolt
I am the house of lightning and wind
Wherever I go, there is a hum, a flash
Because Iansã, since my birth, has become the owner of my heart

I am the lightning of Iansã...

Without her, one cannot walk
She is the apple of Oxum's eye
Arrow that aims at the Sun
Oyá of me.
