Melody Gardot "Iemanja" lyrics

Iemanja

White lady gone to the Southern seaWhy do you appear so suddenlyWe want to honor your melodyWith a little bitty boat set out on the seaIemanja, Iemanja, Iemanja

I dream of days spent in SalvadorWith my little darling forever moreTaking a walk along the shoreFeels like heaven's an open doorIemanja, Iemanja

If I were to offer a plain perfumeAnd if I were to honor the shining moonAs she sits so lonely upon the duneMadre d'agua, See you soon

E'na lahia Iemanja, E'laiana IemanjaE'Iemanja, E'Iemanja

I wanted to stayI gotta go but I'm coming back one day
