Meu pai Oxalá
Dá-nos a luz do teu dia
De noite a estrela-guia
Da tua paz
Dentro de nós
Meu pai Oxalá
Dá-nos a felicidade
O pão da vitalidade
Do teu axé
Do teu amor
Do teu axé
Do teu amor

Axé, babá

Axé, babá
Ô-ô-ô-ô-ô-ô-ô

My father wishes
Give us the light of your day
At night the guiding star
Of your peace
Inside of us
My father wishes
It gives us happiness
The bread of vitality
From your axis
Of your love
From your axis
Of your love
