Ya le recé a xangó
Ya le imploré a oyá
También pedí clemencia a olofín
Y hoy le canto a yemayá
Y oxum caridad del pobre
Yemayá, mi guía espiritual
Virgencita, yo que soy tan pobre
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
De mi familia, de mis amigos
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Yemayá, virgen maya, yemayá mi caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Canté a la caridad
Le canto a yemayá
Pedí clemencia a olofín
Y ahora le imploro a oyá
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Ay, de mi familia y de mis amigos
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
Ay, de mi país, ay, del mundo entero
Sólo pido paz y tranquilidad
Yemayá, caridad
Sólo clamo por la tranquilidad
