Foi em uma quarta-feira
It was on a Wednesday
Saí pra te procurar
I went out to search for you
Andei a cidade inteira
I walked the whole city
Mas, cadê você?
But where are you?
Cadê você?
Where are you?
A cidade é grande
The city is big
As pessoas muitas
There are many people
E eu por aí
And I'm out there
Sem te encontrar
Without finding you
Vou pedir a oxalá
I'm going to ask Oxalá
Oxalá quem guia
Oh, how I wish for the one who guides
Oxalá quem te mandou
Oh, how I wish for the one who sent you
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra a nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Tanta volta pra nenhuma resposta
So many twists for no answer at all
Nenhuma resposta
No answer at all
Mas um punhado de folhas sagradas
But a handful of sacred leaves
Pra me curar, pra me afastar de todo mal
To heal me, to keep me away from all evil
Para-raio, bete branca, assa peixe
Lightning rod, white beetle, roast fish
Abre caminho, patchuli
Clear the way, patchouli
Para-raio, bete branca, assa peixe
Lightning rod, white beetle, roast fish
Abre caminho, patchuli
Clear the way, patchouli
Foi em uma quarta-feira
It was on a Wednesday
Saí pra te procurar
I went out to look for you
Andei a cidade inteira
I walked the whole city
Mas, cadê você?
But, where are you?
Cadê você?
Where are you?
A cidade é grande
The city is vast
As pessoas muitas
There are so many people
E eu por aí
And I'm wandering around
Sem te encontrar
Without finding you
Vou pedir a oxalá
I will ask Oxalá
Oxalá quem guia
Oxalá, the one who guides
Oxalá quem te mandou
Oxalá, the one who sent you

Lightning rod, white beetle, roast fish
Abre caminho, patchuli

Para-raio, bete branca, assa peixe
Lightning rod, white beet, frying fish
Abre caminho, patchuli
Clear the way, patchouli
Para-raio, para-raio
Lightning rod, lightning rod
Para afastar o mal
To ward off evil
Para afastar a inveja
To fend off jealousy
Para atrair o amor
To attract love
Para atrair o que for bom
To draw in all that's good
O que for bom
All that's good
O que for bom
All that's good
O que for bom
All that's good
O que for bom
Whatever is good
