Canto de Ossanha
Quarteto em CY
Ossanha's Chant
The man who says 'I give' doesn't give, because the one who truly gives doesn't say
The man who says 'I'm going' doesn't go, because when he went, he didn't want to
The man who says 'I am' isn't, because the one who truly is says 'I am not'
The man who says 'I am here' isn't here, because no one is when they want to be
Poor man who falls for Ossanha's chant, traitor
Poor man who follows love spells
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
Go, go, go, go, I'm not going
For I am not one to fall for the talk of forgetting
The sadness of a love that has passed
No, I will only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love
Friend sir, greetings, Xangô sent me to tell you
If it's Ossanha's chant, don't go, you will regret it greatly
Ask your Orixa, love is only good if it hurts
Ask your Orixa, love is only good if it hurts
Go, go, go, go, love
Go, go, go, suffer
Go, go, go, go, cry
Go, go, go, say
For I am not one to fall for the talk of forgetting
The sadness of a love that has passed
No, I will only go if it's to see a star appear
In the morning of a new love
