Iemanja

Iemanja - Melody Gardot (美樂蒂·佳朵)

White lady gone to the Southern sea

Why do you appear so suddenly

We want to honor your melody

With a little bitty boat

Set out on the sea

Iemanja Iemanja Iemanja

I dream of days spent in Salvador

With my little darling forever more

Taking a walk along the shore

Feels like heaven's an open door

Iemanja Iemanja

If I were to offer a plain perfume

And if I were to honor

The shining moon

As she sits so lonely upon the dune

Madre d'agua See you soon

E'na lahia Iemanja E'laiana Iemanja

E'Iemanja E'Iemanja E'Iemanja

E'Iemanja

I wanted to stay

I gotta go but

I'm coming back one day
