7 Roses
It was midnight, I was at the crossroads
A woman arrived and asked what I needed
She spoke about love and how much she admired me
In a black dress, she left laughing
Queen of the night always walks perfumed
Maria Padilha was the one who presented herself
Her company asked if I accepted
She asked for seven roses and left laughing
Laroye Exu, Laroye Exu woman
Hail your strength, faithful Pombagira
Laroye Exu, Laroye Exu woman
Hail your strength, faithful Pombagira
It's midnight, the Calunga trembled
At midnight, the graves opened, the Pombagiras in the hall
Dona Padilha brought all her mystery
With love in every step, gratitude in her heart
She twirled her skirt, took all the evil away
Laroye, I called your strength to strengthen my prayer
The black candle, healing is clear, there's Mulambo, seven skirts
There's a hustler, there's a razor, there's Iansã
Eparrey my warrior mother
Bring the strength, bring the axé
Come Padilha laughing
Come strengthen my faith
She asked for seven black candles
Seven reddish roses
I went to the crossroads with your Tranca
Following your laughter
She is a young healer
Cleanses the aura, brings love
Has no time for wickedness
Padilha made me who I am
Laroye Exu, Laroye Exu woman
Hail your strength, faithful Pombagira
Laroye Exu, Laroye Exu woman
Hail your strength, faithful Pombagira
