Queen of the kingdom The heart of Sàngó, Giving Sàngó courage. Sàngó's betrothed Oya, Goddess of wind, tornado, Yet the owner of the marketplace. Queen of all seas Creator of lakes and rivers The waters knows your name Goddess of storms Orisa of death and rebirth Oya, The mother of nine Oya, The undergoddess of Odo-Oya Oya, The unbeatable warrior Oya, The summoner of rain Oya, Sàngó's princess consort Oya, Thou who walketh through fire with no burns Oya, Queen of courage Oya, Goddess of speed and energy Symbol of faithfulness Goddess of devotion and perfection Oya, Goddess of war Oya, our fiercely warrior of old Written Tosan Oluwakemi Thompson
