Lyrics
1st VERSE
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.
2nd VERSE (CONCLUSION)
Babalu a ye!

1st VERSE
Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye
Babalu
Ta starting the wake
What to do to Babalu
Give me ten and seven candles.
To cross him.
Give me a piece of mayenye tobacco.
And a jug of brandy,
Give me some money mayenye
Give 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.
2nd VERSE (CONCLUSION)
Babalu to ye!
