Lyrics

Ô morena do mar, oi eu, ô morena do mar
Ô morena do mar, sou eu que acabei de chegar
Ô morena do mar
Eu disse que ia voltar
Ai, eu disse que ia chegar
Cheguei
Ô morena do mar, oi eu, Ô morena do mar
Ô morena do mar, sou eu que acabei de chegar
Ô morena do mar
Eu disse que ia voltar
Ai, eu disse que ia chegar
Cheguei
Para te agradar
Ai, eu trouxe os peixinhos do mar
Morena
Para te enfeitar
Eu trouxe as conchinhas do mar
As estrelas do céu
Morena
E as estrelas do mar
Ai, as pratas e os ouros de Iemanjá
Ai, as pratas e os ouros de Iemanjá

Lyrics translation

O brunette of the Sea, Hi I, O brunette of the sea
O brunette of the sea, I just arrived
O brunette from the sea
I said I'd come back.
Oh, I said I'd be there.
I arrived
O brunette of the Sea, Hi I, O brunette of the sea
O brunette of the sea, I just arrived
O brunette from the sea
I said I'd come back.
Oh, I said I'd be there.
I arrived
To please you
Oh, I brought the sea fish.
Brown
To adorn you
I brought the seashells
The stars of the sky
Brown
And the stars of the sea
Alas, the silver and diamonds of Yemanja
Alas, the silver and diamonds of Yemanja
