Oxum Apará

Pray iê iê mother Oxum
Pray iê iê I will praise
To this beautiful Orixá
To whom I pray and await my mother Oxum Apará

At the edge of the waterfall
I went to pray
I asked that Saint
Who fascinates and enchants
To come to my aid
I took palms, white lilies
To please
This goddess who welcomes
Her children and does not choose
Who to help
Ai iê iê
Pray iê iê mother Oxum (2 times)
Pray iê iê I will praise
To this beautiful Orixá
To whom I pray and await my mother Oxum Apará

Today I know I was chosen, to be your daughter
Since the day I was born
And a light made me appear
With the firmness of appearing
Today I surrender my life
Without fear in your hands
Because I feel so safe, conscious and more mature
By my devotion
Ai iê iê
Pray iê iê mother Oxum
Pray iê iê I will praise
To this beautiful Orixá
To whom I pray and await my mother Oxum Apará

In this sacred moment
Of surrender and faith, I feel you so present
Supporting me eternally, with the strength of your axé
At the edge of the waterfall
With the waters flowing
I hear your deep song
Taking to everyone
The message of Opará
Ai iê iê
Pray iê iê mother Oxum
Pray iê iê I will praise
To this beautiful Orixá
To whom I pray and await my mother Oxum Apará
