Lyrics
Maria Macambira
Lavou roupa toda a vida
Passava o dia entretida
Trabalhando pra sinhá
Mas numa noite dormiu
Sonhou que a espuma do mar
Parecia a renda branca
Das saias de Yemanjá
E ficou tão encantada
Que se esqueceu de acordar
Ficou pra lavar as rendas
E as roupas de Yemanjá
Maria Macambira
Lavadeira de sinhá
Lavou saia de renda
Não é dela, é de Yemanjá
Lyrics translation
Maria Macambira
Washed clothes all his life
I spent the day entertained
Working for Sinha
But one night he slept
Dreamed that the sea foam
It looked like white lace
From the skirts of Yemanja
And she was so delighted
Who forgot to wake up
It was to wash the lace
And the clothes of Yemanja
Maria Macambira
Sinha washing machine
Washed lace skirt
It's not hers, it's from Yemanja
