A Saga de Agotime, Maria Mineira Naê

Maria Mineira, oh
Agotime in the clan of Dahomey
And in the light of her voduns
There was a ritual of faith
But isolated in the kingdom one day
Enslaved by sorcery
Her vodun says that her worship
Would be reborn in a new world

She’s following her destiny (from there to here)
Over the waves of the sea
Her body that suffers
Her soul makes the prayer
To find her people

She arrived in this holy land
Bahia saw the Nagô nation, oh oh
And through the orixás
She found the path for her people
Gold shone, along with freedom
She went to the land of magic
Of folklore and tradition
A bouquet of poetry
The house of the mines
Is the pride of this ground

I’m a hummingbird and my drum
Has energy and vibration
It will resonate in São Luís do Maranhão
