Yemanja Meu Amor
Samba Mundial Enredo 2010
Lyrics by Brad Hamilton [] Translation by Luis Dib and Cristina Lutz [] Music by Luis Dib and Brad Hamilton
La laia, la laia   | Chorus
Oh, lei lei lei   |
La laia,  La laia-aha  |
Oh, lei lei lei   |
    |
Yemanja, meu amor.  |
Deusa do mar.   |
Beleza do Orixá-aha.  |
Rainha do Candomblé.  |

[A]
Quando eu entrar no mar,
E estiver muito longe de casa.
Muitos perigos vou encontrar,
Mas em meu barco, eu volto ao meu lar.

Chorus

[B]
Do Brasil a San Francisco,
Rezo pra que “ela” cuide de mim.
Com sua orientação,
Vou cruzar o mar salvo e são.

Chorus

[C] [Slow Break to the tune of “Yellow Submarine”]
No lugar, onde nasci,
Vive um espírito, do oceano.
E seu nome é Yemanja,
Por Favor, olha por mim.

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

[2nd Time – Chorus Two Times] 

La laia, la laia
Oh, lei lei lei
La laia,  La laia-aha
Oh, lei lei lei

Yemanja, my love.
Goddess of the sea.
Beauty of the Orisha.
Queen of Condomble.

[A]
When I travel across the ocean,
Many miles from my home.
There is much danger in the water,
But with my boat I’ll make it home.

Chorus

[B]
From Brazil to San Francisco,
I hope she watches over me.
With her help and with guidance,
I’ll make it safely across the sea.

Chorus

 [C] [Slow Break to the tune of Yellow Submarine]
In the land, where I was born,
Lives a spirit, of the ocean.
And her name is Yemanja,
Won’t you please, watch over me.

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
