lyrics

Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya, Yemaya!
Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya, Yemaya!

Oh great mother! let me invoke your name.
For your the salvation of the living
And the safeguard of the dead.

Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya, Yemaya!
Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya Yemaya!

Oh great mother! Hear me when I call
In my time of temptation
I shall always say, Yemaya,
In my need, I shall say Yemaya
Yemaya, Yemaya, Yemaya, Yemaya

Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya, Yemaya!
Oyeme, Oyeme Yemaya Yemaya!

From the beautiful breasts of Yemaya
Flows the love, thats ocean wide
So whenever you pray
All you say is Yemaya

Yemaya Oh-O Yemaya Ah-A!
