Yemaya

The Great One who gives good things, the Great One who gives good

things. Give me Good Things from the Great One who gives Good Things

Ache!  So be it…

Yemaya assessu, Assessu Yemaya
Yemaya Olodo, Olodo Yemaya

Yemaya assessu, Assessu Yemaya
Kai kai kai Yemaya Olodo, Kai kai kai Assessu Olodo

Originated in Kemet as Isis

Nubians spread her throughout the African continent

She gave birth to 14 gods and goddess

Her water broke and made the oceans

From her womb came the first man and woman

Creation goddess with mercy, compassion

Ruling dreamtime over seas and moon abyss

Sea shell collective wisdom water unconscious

Ocean Mother, Mother of fishes

Mother of dreams and all the secrets

Mother of pearl, mama watta exists

Lemanja, La Sirene, cane syrup

Grant us beauty good fortune all of it

Good health and rain, dream magic blessing affection

Full moon or crescent moon your vigil we keep it

Chorus

Oh Yemaya, Protector of the Sea

With all respect, I come before thee

Admiring thy power and thy blessed energy

I wish to one day, be set free

Oh beloved Mother all powerful so kind

Radiating beauty, love and peace divine

Filling my soul with the purest of love

You make me feel like the purest of doves

Smiling upon I from the womb of Iration

I remember you in ritual, song and celebration

Oh Almighty, Queen of the Sea

With my heart and soul, I beseech thee…

Chorus
