Yemanja Lyrics - The Absence - Melody Gardot

White lady gone to the Southern sea 

Why do you appear so suddenly 

We want to honor your melody 

With a little bitty boat set out on the sea 

Iemanja, Iemanja, Iemanja 

I dream of days spent in Salvador 

With my little darling forever more 

Taking a walk along the shore 

Feels like heaven's an open door 

Iemanja, Iemanja 

If I were to offer a plain perfume 

And if I were to honor the shining moon 

As she sits so lonely upon the dune 

Madre d'agua, See you soon 

E'na lahia Iemanja, E'laiana Iemanja 

E'Iemanja, E'Iemanja 

I wanted to stay 

I gotta go but I'm coming back one day (x3)
