Lyrics
Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye
Babalu
Ta empezando lo velorio
Que le hacemo a Babalu
Dame diez y siete velas
Pa ponerle en cruz
Dame un cabo de tabaco mayenye
Y un jarrito de aguardiente
Dame un poco de dinero mayenye
Pa' que me de la suerte
Yo
Quiere pedi
Que mi negra me quiera
Que tenga dinero
Y que no se muera
Av! Vo le quiero pedi a Babalu 'na negra muy santa como tu que no tenga otro
negro
Pa' que no se fuera

Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!

Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!

Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye
Babalu
Ta starting the wake
What to do to Babalu
Give me ten and seven candles.
To put him on the cross
Give me a piece of mayenye tobacco.
And a jug of brandy
Give me some money mayenye
Pa ' that gives me luck
I
Want to ask
My nigga love me
Have money
And don't let him die
Av! I want you I asked Babalu 'na negra very holy like you that you have no other
black
Don't let him go.
