Kaô Kabecilê, Father Xango, <br />King of thunder, king of flame, <br />High above the walls of Oyo, <br />Justice marches in your name. <br /><br />Seated on the throne of granite, <br />Double axe within your hand, <br />When the heavens split with lightning, <br />All creation understands. <br /><br />Strike the axe, my Father, slowly, <br />Let the righteous stand their ground, <br />If my cause is true and worthy, <br />Let the truth alone be found. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Lord of thunder, lord of flames, <br />Kaô, Kaô, hear us pray, <br />Oya, Oshun, Oba lead the way. <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Stone and lightning know his name, <br />Kaô, Kaô, let truth arise, <br />Under Oyo's burning skies. <br /><br />Oya rides the crimson tempest, <br />Dust and embers in her wake, <br />Through the gates of change and battle, <br />Every chain begins to break. <br /><br />She commands the winds of evening, <br />She commands the winds of dawn, <br />When great Xango calls from heaven, <br />Oya carries thunder on. <br /><br />Blow, Oya, clear the pathway, <br />Sweep misfortune far away, <br />If the thunder shakes the heavens, <br />Let your winds reveal the way. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Lord of thunder, lord of flames, <br />Kaô, Kaô, hear us pray, <br />Oya, Oshun, Oba lead the way. <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Stone and lightning know his name, <br />Kaô, Kaô, let truth arise, <br />Under Oyo's burning skies. <br /><br />Oshun crowns the dawn with amber, <br />Where the sacred rivers gleam, <br />Turning grief to golden waters, <br />Turning yearning into dreams. <br /><br />Queen of beauty, queen of plenty, <br />Bearer of affection's light, <br />When the burdens grow too heavy, <br />She restores the heart to peace. <br /><br />Oba stands where mountains weather, <br />Older than the iron blade, <br />Storms may strike the world around her, <br />Yet her vow shall never fade. <br /><br />Silent guardian of devotion, <br />Faithful through the darkest years, <br />She transforms the weight of sorrow <br />Into wisdom born of tears. <br /><br />Oya is the wind of thunder, <br />Oshun is the river's gold, <br />Oba is the root unshaken, <br />Deep beneath the ages old. <br /><br />One brings courage into battle, <br />One brings mercy to the soul, <br />One brings strength that time can't conquer, <br />Together they make the kingdom whole. <br /><br />Three great queens beside their ruler, <br />Guardians of destiny, <br />Standing near the throne of Xango <br />In eternal majesty. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Lord of thunder, lord of flames, <br />Kaô, Kaô, hear us pray, <br />Oya, Oshun, Oba lead the way. <br />Kaô, Kaô, Xango reigns, <br />Stone and lightning know his name, <br />Kaô, Kaô, let truth arise, <br />Under Oyo's burning skies. <br /><br />(Final Chorus) <br />Kaô, Kaô, justice calling, <br />Kaô, Kaô, hear the sound, <br />Kaô, Kaô, Father Xango, <br />Let your judgment shake the ground. <br />Kaô, Kaô, mighty ruler, <br />King of fire, storm and sky, <br />With Oya, Oshun and Oba, <br />May your sacred kingdom rise. <br /><br />Kaô Kabecilê, my Father, <br />Kaô Kabecilê, my King, <br />In the stone, the wind, the river, <br />Your eternal praise we sing. <br /><br />__________________________________ <br /><br />Astrikos Katoikos <br />∆∆∆ 2026 ∆∆∆ <br /><br />#astrikoskatoikos #umbanda
