Oxum do Lírio

Umbanda Classic

Eu vi mamãe oxum na cachoeira
Sentada na beira do rio

Colhendo lírio lirulê
Colhendo lírio lirulá

Colhendo lírio pra enfeitar o seu gongá

“I saw the queen of the sweet waters down at the waterfall,
sitting on the banks of the river
Collecting lilis to decorate her altar”
