Lyrics

O destino desenhou
Um traço de Odú
Adivinhação, dança circular
Voz oracular
Onda vai e vem, futuro também
Se o presente já morreu
Um segundo atrás
Quem matou fui eu
Chão, pegada, rastro de quem já passou
Um enredo a mais em dezesseis finais
Palavra de Ifá, ikin e opelè
Ou merindilogun
No pó de iyerosun
Palavra de Ifá
Jogada no opon
Direto do Orun
O destino desvendou quantos eu serei
Do mais pobre ao rei
Com o olho avante, que enxerga atrás
E que compreende todos os sinais
Se o presente renasceu
Um segundo à frente
Quem gerou fui eu
E o tempo reluta como um embrião
Perseguindo a vida, solto na amplidão
Palavra de Ifá, ikin e opelè
Ou merindilogun
No pó de iyerosun
Palavra de Ifá
Jogada no opon
Direto do Orun
O destino desvendou quantos eu serei
Do mais pobre ao rei
Com o olho avante, que enxerga atrás
E que compreende todos os sinais
Se o presente já morreu
Um segundo atrás
Quem matou fui eu
Chão, pegada, rastro de quem já passou
Um enredo a mais em dezesseis finais
Palavra de Ifá, ikin e opelè
Ou merindilogun
No pó de iyerosun
Palavra de Ifá
Jogada no opon
Direto do Orun

Lyrics translation

Fate drew
A trace of Odu
Divination, circular dance
Oracular voice
Wave comes and goes, future too
If the gift has already died
A second ago
Who killed me
Floor, footprint, trace of who has passed
One more plot in sixteen endings
Word of Ifah, ikin and opelè
Or merindilogun
In iyerosun powder
Word of Ifah
Played in the opon
Direct from Orun
Fate has revealed how many I will be
From the poorest to the King
With the eye forward, which sees behind
And who understands all the signs
If the present is reborn
One second ahead
Who generated it was me
And time reluctantly like an embryo
Chasing Life, loose in breadth
Word of Ifah, ikin and opelè
Or merindilogun
In iyerosun powder
Word of Ifah
Played in the opon
Direct from Orun
Fate has revealed how many I will be
From the poorest to the King
With the eye forward, which sees behind
And who understands all the signs
If the gift has already died
A second ago
Who killed me
Floor, footprint, trace of who has passed
One more plot in sixteen endings
Word of Ifah, ikin and opelè
Or merindilogun
In iyerosun powder
Word of Ifah
Played in the opon
Direct from Orun
