Aja Monet – Yemaya Lyrics

Artist: Aja Monet
Song: Yemaya

I went to see someone about my pain and he told me
That i had to meet the warrior at the edge of sea “do not carry anger that is not yours”
Says el brujo
And just like that

The sand is a quiet prayer rug under folded knee deep washed ashore
Rain passing the cheek
A lick of salt from the lip
Longing for the wide arms of wind

Woozy and restless
I rushed toward the deity of living sea
Horse of my heart
Running to the teacher of tides

Wet whisper of all that swims
Breathing beneath blue water color
I’m here to heal my hurt
I fall into the black mermaid of miracle and pearl

Mistress of moon and star below
Seven glittering waves, splash aqua marine
A flamenco skirt dancing on the sky
Lightening fast footwork

Heaven on my shoulders
Arms flirt the clouds, a migrant bird outstretched
El brujo rubs my body with the fruit
And tears the shirt from my back, mumbling a tongue that teases me faint tell me you can hear those thrown overboard

Teetering on the plank
The drowned out screams sink each shriek
A shimmering
Shimmering face

I bury my face in the chest of the ocean
Weeping for the voices remembering me
God of cerulean scales and gold fins
Temper of turbulent rivers, roaring

Cleanse me of sadness and sorrow
In this grandest lakes, lagoons or streams
Yemaya
Yemaya

I offer
I offer you papaya
Coconut and cotton flower
Deep labyrinth of worlds sunken under

Lady who levels the land
Queen of atlantis
Guaraca beneath Arabian sea
The spirit of depth

The mapless mountains inward
How light goes to rest
Vanishing in the opaque
Largest body without borders

Lines fade
Nations
Navigating fishing boats filled with dreams that never dock guardian of the glistening ancient graveyard
Ghost gossiping with our tunes

Fortune teller of shivering shells soothing these stranger times i do not know
I do not know which ancestor gave me this rage but i am ready
I am ready
I am so ready

To lay it down i’m ready to lay down
Asé
Vocals
Me traiga su bendición me libre de todo mal reina del mar

Madre de chango guerrera de mi corazón bendice a cada oriente bendice a cada oriente
Vocals
I hope that I can live up to my mother’s example
And i hope that I can live up to my ancestor’s expectations

Because I really believe that I have a duty
To all those that have become before me
To all this who lie at the bottom of the ocean
To all those who lost their lives

Whether it is in the cane fields, or cotton fields.. or you know, hanging off some tree to continue the struggle and to continue to love
And to continue to believe
And to continue to try to be human
To be giving
