Quando se for esse fim de som
Doida cancao que nao fui eu que fiz
Verde luz, verde cor de arrenbentacao
Sargaco ar, sargaco mar
Deusa de amor, deusa do mar
You me atirar, beber o mar
Alucinado, desesperar
Querer morror para viver com yemanja
Yemanja odo-ia
[Translation (interpretation of lyrics-not verbatim):]
At the edge of life when sound begins to fade
The words of this song are not my own
The green light of the crashing waves
The smell of the sea and the seaweed beckons me
As I languish in the deepness of the water
In my desperate hallucinations
I want to die to live with Yemanja
In my desperate hallucinations
I want to die to live with Yemanja
