This song was born of and for the Orisha Yansã, Goddess of winds, lightning, storms, death and rebirth. Her realm ranges from rainbows to thunder. She can manifest as the most gentle of breezes or as raging hurricanes. Eeeeeeeeh... Eparrei Yansã!
lyrics
EH EPARREI YANSÃ!
(Received for the Amazon Ensemble)
Eh Eparrei Yansã, Eparrei Yansã!
Vem pra nos guiar
Vem pra nos curar
A Vos eu vou louvar
Com Vos eu vou pintar
Mamãe dos ventos vem chegar
Dentro o circulo girar
O relampago e o trovão
A tempestade da força
(4x) Eparrei, Eparrei, Eparrei Yansã!
E esta força é de Yansã
E Ela vem descarregar
A grande força de Yansã
E Ela vai direcionar
(4x) Eh, Eparrei Yansã!
Iluminai a escuridão
Com Vosso raio purificar
Orixá da imensidão
Labirinto do coração
A fogueira ela nos traz
Sagrada luz eterna paz
A fogueira Ela nos traz
Sagrada luz eterna paz
Eh Eparrei Yansã, Eparrei Yansã!
Vem pra nos guiar
Vem pra nos curar
A Vos eu vou louvar
Com Vos eu vou pintar
A vida eterna
A vida liberta
A vida sagrada
~~~
Translation:
Eh Eparrei Yansã, Eparrei Yansã!
Come to guide us
Come to heal us
To You I will praise
With You I'll paint
Mother of the winds arrived
Within the circle whirling
The lightning and the thunder
The storm of the power
Eparrei, Eparrei, Eparrei Yansã! (4x)
And this force is of Yansã
And she comes to discharge
The great strength of Yansã
And she will bring direction
Eh, Eparrei Yansã! (4x)
Enlighten the darkness
With your ray you purify
Orisha of the immensity
Labyrinth of the heart
The fire she brings us
Sacred light eternal peace
The fire She brings us
Sacred light eternal peace
Eh Eparrei Yansã, Eparrei Yansã!
Come to guide us
Come to heal us
To You I will praise
With You I'll paint
The eternal life
The liberated Life
The sacred life
