On the second of February
Dia de festa no mar
A day of celebration at sea

A saudar Iemanjá
To greet Yemanjá

Escrevi um bilhete a ela Pedindo pra ela me ajudar
I wrote her a letter, asking for her help
Ela então me respondeu
She then responded to me
Que eu tivesse paciência de esperar
That I should have the patience to wait
O presente que eu mandei pra ela
The gift I sent to her
De cravos e rosas vingou
Of carnations and roses flourished
Chegou, chegou, chegou
It arrived, arrived, arrived
Afinal que o dia dela chegou
Finally, her day has come
Chegou, chegou, chegou
It arrived, arrived, arrived
Afinal que o dia dela chegou
Finally, her day has come
