lyrics

OXUM DE LA MIEL

Surgiendo libre como el agua que brota del manantial
Nuestra señora, eres la diosa de puro amor

Aguijón, acupunctura del abeja,
Saca lo amargo y deja todo tener el sabor de miel

Llena nuestras venas con un río dorado de miel
Llena nuestras venas con su río dorado de miel

Oraieie, oraieie o
O mãe Oxum
Oraieie o
Oraieie, oraieie o
O mãe Oxum
Reina de amor

Su luz chispa
Y ilumina una colmena de joyas
Nuestra señora, dueña del sendero ay del corazón

En su espejo vemos ambos lados de la vida,
La luna llena y tambien la luna nueva

Llena nuestras venas con un río dorado de miel
Llena nuestras venas con su río dorado de miel

Oraieie, oraieie o…

English Translation:

OXUM OF THE HONEY

Rising free like water that surges from the spring
Our lady, you are the goddess of pure love

The stinger, acupuncture of the bee,
Extract all that is bitter and leave everything tasting of honey

Fill our veins with a golden river of honey
Fill our veins with your golden river of honey

Oraieie, oraieie o
Oh, mother Oxum
Oraieie o
Oraieie, oraieie o
Oh, mother Oxum
Queen of love

Your light sparks
And illuminates a hive of jewels
Our lady of the path of the heart

In your mirror we see both sides of life,
The full moon and the new

Fill our veins with a golden river of honey
Fill our veins with your golden river of honey

Oraieie, oraieie o
