Ciranda

Eu fui à praia do Janga

Pra ver a ciranda

No meu cirandar - Ciranda

O mar estava tão belo

E um peixe amarelo

Eu vi navegar - Navegar

Não era peixe - não era

Era Iemanjá - Rainha

Dançando a ciranda - Ciranda

No meio do mar - Ciranda

I went to Praia do Janga

To see the Ciranda

The way Ciranda is done

The ocean was so beautiful

And a yellow fish

I saw swimming

It wasn’t a fish

it wasn’t

It was Iemanjá

Queen

Dancing Ciranda

Ciranda

In the middle of the ocean

The moon she calls to her daughters

Come swim in my waters

And I’ll take you home (x2)

Your love awaits

On the other side

I’ll open a path

The waves will subside

Come out to see

What the ocean holds

Come play in my water

And I'll take you home

The blue I saw in the daylight

Turned black as the night sky

Its depth still unknown

But something guided my soul in

Convinced me to come swim

It kept me afloat
