Ternura Lyrics English Translation by Anitta
I had to call on Oxum, bathe myself in the river
Lady of the waters who guards the treasure
Ora, iê, iê, iê, ô
And my skin reflecting gold
Ora, iê, iê, iê, ô
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me
To save me
My heart softened in a way that
I don’t even want to leave here anymore
It’s so brand new, I don’t even want credit
I just want your smile
Come on, let’s explore the world while time passes by
If you come with me, luck finds me
I don’t even remember when I gave myself over like this
You know the answer is yes
Come on, safe harbor, my place of calm
Love that consecrates the beauty of the soul
I have so many things to be thankful for
I just want to know
Ora, iê, iê, iê, ô
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me (Only your tenderness can save me)
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me (Only your tenderness can save me)
Your sweetness heals me
Only your tenderness can save me (Only your tenderness can save me)
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Mother Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Mother Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Mother Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Mother Oxum
Ora, iê, iê, ô, Mother Oxum
Had to call on Oxum
