Se Eu Fosse Só
Puro Axé
If I Were Alone
I have won so many battles
Many more I will face
Many times I will fall
But I will always get up
My shield is my faith
My sword is the Orixá
I have my body protected
In the prayers of Jacutá
When I fell, my father Ogum lifted me up
When I suffered, mother Oxum supported me
I felt lost, Exú came to guide me
I was hungry, Oxóssi taught me to hunt
I was humiliated, and Xangô defended me
I was persecuted, Oyá hid me with the winds
I fell ill, Omulu healed me
I was dirty, Iemanjá bathed me
I saw death, but Nanã kept it away
She took care of me and dried my tears
Desperate, I saw my faith falter
I was renewed with the words of Oxalá
If I were alone, I wouldn't be here anymore
My Orixá, who helped me persist
In the dark night, guided me on the paths
And in Umbanda I reciprocate your love
