Africa was unfruitful and dry, and Yemanja was born from the gods.
[G]
[A]
[D] Yemanja felt [F#] alone, and the gods gave her a son who [A] was born from her navel.
And that son was called River, and [F#] River crossed Africa and went to the sea.
He crossed the sea, and on the other [G] side, opened his arms and formed other branches.
And each branch was a new son, and each son had a new name.
[D#m] From the first [A] tree born in Africa, [G#m] a cashew tree, [F] Yemanja made a big canoe
[B] and put in it the voices [F#] of the Kwanza, Fongo, [D#] Niger, Zambizi, Limpopo.
And she said, this [D] is your heart, my [E] son, and now you are the African man.
[F#] And River went away singing, and the voice was the faith,
and the rhythm was the [D#m] beating of the oars on the water.
And the spirit was a big maraca saying, don't forget your background,
don't forget your blackground, don't forget your blackground, don't forget your blackground.
