We praise a woman
Ancient ancestress
We praise a goddess
Mighty Yemaya
We praise a dancer
Who flows like oceans
We praise a helper
Who has known trouble
We praise a priestess
She who knows magic
We praise an elder
She who remembers
We praise a woman
Mother of millions
We praise a goddess
Hear us, Yemaya
