This Yoruba Praise to Yemaya can be translated as so:
Ore means goodness, and also denotes spreading, therefore the praise phrase can be rendered as Mother of Goodness.
Omi O Yemaya! Is an exclamation, something akin to Yemaya’s Water, or, Water of Yemaya! Denoting to watch out because just like water, Yemaya is expansive, fundamental for life and worthy of great respect.
Let’s spread goodness, Ore Yeye oooo!
And let’s respect our mother’s element, Omi oooo Yemaya!
