It's by the seaside
In the sultan's leaves
In Ogun's metals
Wind, thunder, and lightning
It's in the most beautiful voice
That has grace in its hands
Orumilá blessed
Will be the voice of the song
It's by the seaside
In the sultan's leaves
In Ogun's metals
Wind, thunder, and lightning
It's in the most beautiful voice
That has grace in its hands
Orumilá blessed
Will be the voice of the song
Among the wounds of this life
There's no forgiveness for sadness
The marris have long sheltered the root of salvation
Among the most beautiful skins
Silks, ivories, and corals
The most precious wealth is health, love, and peace
It's by the seaside
In the sultan's leaves
In Ogun's metals
Wind, thunder, and lightning
It's in the most beautiful voice
That has grace in its hands
Orumilá blessed
Will be the voice of the song
It's by the seaside
In the sultan's leaves
In Ogun's metals
Wind, thunder, and lightning
It's in the most beautiful voice
That has grace in its hands
Orumilá blessed
Will be the voice of the song

My lady, where do you live
My lady, where do you live
I'll make my home
On top of the hill, that's where
That's where, that's where
My home is there
That's where, that's where
My home is there
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh

Mermaid, mermaid
Mermaid, mermaid
Oh mermaid, mermaid
Oh mermaid, mermaid
I've never seen so much sand in the sea
Mermaid, mermaid
I've never seen so much sand in the sea
Mermaid, mermaid
The girl left
The girl left
She left and abandoned me
On the wings of the bird
She flew, she flew
On the wings of the bird
She flew, she flew
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
I repeat my love
Oh, oh, oh
