Nanã Lyrics English Translation by Anitta
I belong to Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
I belong to Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
I belong to Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
I belong to Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ewá
(The numero uno, Papatinho)
Salubá Nanã, you may enter, the earth feels the drumbeat
Your perfume enchants, it’s the rhythm of Buruquê
Oh Nanã, mama sent the world for me to arrive
Oh Nanã, mama sent the world for me to live
Let it, let it, let time, let it be at ease
Sway and strength, lots of faith in Oxalá
Let it, let it, let go of all that’s not your will
Axé and strength (The rest, just let it be)
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
(I belong to Nanã, ewá)
Of humanity’s womb, axé, the lady of the swamps
Wisdom is silence, acts in the quiet, makes no scandal
(May envy not find me) Came head-on, knocks down
Your Axé I celebrate (Axé), the blessing mother, Salubá
Nanã is who teaches us, not everything is won by shouting
Nanã, the wisdom where life springs from clay
Nanã, our eldest, long before the iron age
In the Axé I feel more free, in the drumbeat I’m hooked (Ah-ha)
Salubá Nanã, you may enter, the earth feels the drumbeat
Your perfume enchants, it’s the rhythm of Buruquê
Oh Nanã, mama sent the world for me to arrive
Oh Nanã, mama sent the world for me to live
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
(Yeah)
All that’s born of earth returns to earth, that’s a fact
Lilac and white with palm leaves, with cowries, I feel healed
The first to walk on fertile soil, without iron, without steel or sin
In the calm of the rivers, that’s where I rest, heart racing
Slow down, slow down, step away from that screen, focus on the goal
Don’t despair, slow down, return to the base, clay and earth
Slow down, slow down
(King’s on the track)
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
It’s from Nanã, ewá, ewá, ewá, ê
(It’s from Nanã)
