Full lyrics
A pedra de Iemanjá já chegou no conga
Are, are, areia
O ritmo já chegou da Aluanda de lá
Are, are, areia
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
Mas que canto é aquele que vem aculá
Are, are, areia
é meu São Benedito que vem me ajudar
Are, are, areia
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
Mas sinhá já chegou é quem vai trabalhar
Are, are, areia
Seu colar de missanga é que vai misturar
Are, are, areia
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
O seu canto é seguro, é no fundo do mar
Are, are, areia
Os poder de Ogun nosso mar vai levar
Are, are, areia
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
Translation
Iemanjá's stone has arrived at the conga
Sand, sand, sand
The rhythm has arrived from Aluanda over there
Sand, sand, sand
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
But what chant is that coming from over there
Sand, sand, sand
It's my Saint Benedict who comes to help me
Sand, sand, sand
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
But the lady has arrived, she's the one who will work
Sand, sand, sand
Her bead necklace is what will mix
Sand, sand, sand
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
Her chant is secure, it's from the bottom of the sea
Sand, sand, sand
Ogun's powers our sea will carry
Sand, sand, sand
Oh tarima
Tarimaê
