Melody Gardot - Iemanja lyrics

White lady gone to the Southern sea Why do you appear so suddenly We want to honor your family With little bitty boats 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
