Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Mulher tá na praia, homem tá no mar
Mulher tá rezando pro homem voltar
Mané foi pra pesca pescar pra viver
Peixe bom pra comida
Peixe bom pra vender
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Mulher tá rezando, já passou da hora
Mulher tá chorando, meu deus, que demora
Iemanjá tá querendo ficar com Mané
Iemanjá é rainha
É bonita, é mulher
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Não foi desta vez, desta vez não será
Lá vem a jangada chegando do mar
Trouxe pouca pesca, mas Mané voltou
Salve Nossa Senhora
Salve Nosso Senhor
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
Iemanjá - só se vê mar
