Yemaya, Yemaya, ya

Oye Yemaya oloto

Anda, prestame tu voluntad
Come on, lend me your will
Para pa'lante poder caminar
To be able to walk ahead
Yemaya, yemaya, yemaya
Yemaya, yemaya, yemaya
Ay, Kabio sire a Ku Yeyeo
Ay, Kabio sire Ku Yeyeo
Siento orgullo y alegría, y cantaré
I feel pride and joy, and I will sing
Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo e
Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo, Kawo e
Zarabanda, Chango ta' veni

Como soy pobre nada te puedo brindar
Since I am poor I can give you nothing
Tan solo flores puedo llevar

Así me las tenga que robár

Flores, flores, flores, muchas flores
Flowers, flowers, flowers, many flowers
Para Ochún y Yemaya, mamá
