Full lyrics

Fui fazer uma prece a meu pai Xangô

Pra livrar-me das penas do mal de amor


Macumba, feitiço alguém me botou

Não posso com isso, me ajude Xangô


Foi tanto panze no terreiro

Que até pai de santo correndo chegou


Oh luzes de Ogun de Ilê

Oh luzes de Ogummnagô


Mas limpa meu corpo manchado, Xangô

E tira seu filho da dor

Translation

I went to make a prayer to my father Xangô

To free me from the pains of love sickness


A macumba, a spell, someone cast on me

I can't take it, help me Xangô


There was so much commotion in the terreiro

That even the pai de santo arrived running


Oh lights of Ogun of Ilê

Oh lights of Ogummnagô


But cleanse my stained body, Xangô

And take your son out of pain
