Quanto é poderosa,
Formosa guerrera,
A força do relampago
Clareia a escuridão
Ha! Heya! Epparei Iansã
Quanto é poderosa,
Formosa guerrera
A força do relampago
Clareia a escuridão
Trazendo o ar, trazendo o vento
Soprando as folhas secas
Limpa a nossas mentes
Trazendo o ar, trazendo o vento
Trazendo sua força
Para todos os guerreros
Ha! Heya! Epparei Iansã
Quanto é poderosa,
Formosa guerrera
A força do relampago
Clareia a escuridão
Trazendo o ar, trazendo o vento
Soprando as folhas secas
Limpa as nossas mentes
Trazendo o ar, trazendo o vento
Trazendo sua forca
Para essa Kali Yuga
Vem transformar, Oyá
Dona do ar, Iansã
English Translation:
BEAUTIFUL WARRIOR
Ha! Heya! Epparei Iansã!
How powerful she is,
This beautiful warrior,
The force of her lightning
Clears the darkness
Ha! Heya! Epparei Iansã!
How powerful she is,
This beautiful warrior
The force of her lightning
Clears the darkness
Bringing the air, bringing the wind,
Blowing away the dry leaves and
Cleansing our minds
Bringing the air, bringing the wind,
Bringing forth her strength
For all warriors
Ha! Heya! Epparei Iansã!
How powerful she is,
This beautiful warrior
The force of her lightning
Clears the darkness
Bringing the air, bringing the wind,
Blowing away the dry leaves and
Cleansing our minds
Bringing the air, bringing the wind,
Bringing forth her might
For this Kali Yuga
Come and transform, Oyá
Lady of the air, Iansã

I heard a few of the songs from this album at a sacred sound healing retreat. My favourite tracks are Que Florezca La Luz and Nuestro Mundo. Absolutely stunning music I never get tired of listening. Dj Rise
