Oxóssi

Oxóssi, son of Yemanja
Deity of the Ogum clan
It's Ibualama, it's Inlé
That Oxum took to the river
And Logunedé was born!

His nature is of the moon
In the moon Oxóssi is Odé Odé-Odé, Odé-Odé
King of Keto Caboclo of the forest Odé-Odé

Thursday is his ossé
Axoxó, black beans, shrimp, peanuts
Blue and green, his colors
Lacy white pants
Short patterned skirt
Ojá and silver breastplate
In his hand ofá, iluquerê
Okê okê, okê arô, okê
The jurema is the sacred tree
Okê arô, Oxóssi, okê okê

In Bahia he is Saint George
In Rio, Saint Sebastian
Oxóssi is the one in charge
In the band of my heart
