Canto da Sereia
Marisa Monte
Song of the Siren
Oguntê, Marabô
Caiala and Sobá
Oloxum, Ynaiê
Janaína and Yemanjá
They’re the queens of the sea
Sea, mysterious sea
That comes from the horizon
It’s the cradle of the sirens
Legendary and enchanting
Listen to the siren's song
Ialaó, oquê, ialoá
On a full moon night
I hear the siren sing
And the moonlight smiling
Then it gets enchanted
With a sweet melody
The nightingales will awaken
She lives in the sea
She plays in the sand
In the sway of the waves
She spreads peace
She lives in the sea
She plays in the sand
In the sway of the waves
She spreads peace
The whole court adorned
Turning the sea into flowers
See the love-struck empire
Arriving at the home of love
