Quero aprender a louvar seu nome
E todas as formas da sua criação
Encantada por todas as flores e as águas de Oxum
E sua doçura fluindo sobre as pedras de Xangô
Xangô, Xangô, Xangô, meu pai Xangô
Xangô, Xangô, Xangô, senhor da fé, Xangô
Lai lai lai lai
Essa terra é boa
Lai lai lai
E nos cura
Todas as cores do mundo
Refletidas no arco-íris
Saudamos o reino de Oxumaré
Todas as cores do mundo
Brilhando no arco-íris
Saudamos o reino de Oxumaré
English Translation:
RAINBOW LAND
I want to learn to praise your name
And all your forms of creation
Enchanted by all the flowers, the waters of Oxum
And her sweetness flowing over the rocks of Xangô
Xangô, Xangô, Xangô, my father Xangô
Xangô, Xangô, Xangô, lord of faith, Xangô
Lai lai lai lai
This land is good
Lai lai lai
And it heals us
All the colours of this world
Reflected in the rainbow
We salute the realm of Oxumaré
All the colours of this world
Glittering in the rainbow
Hail to the realm of Oxumaré

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
