Con tres toques en el suelo
Se hace el saludo a eleguá
Para que abra la puerta
Que la semana comienza ya
Eleguá, guerrero divino
Que franquea el camino
Y con el que siempre, siempre
Hay que contar
Eleguá, pequeño gigante
Parado en la esquina
Busca de juguetes,
Dulces y algo más
Eleguá, de dios preferido
Niño consentido
Que sin su permiso
No se puede andar
Ante usted, eleguá
Todos preguntamos
Tres toques le damos
Y usted nos responde de verdad
Ante usted, eleguá
Todos saludamos
Las gracias le damos
Dulces y juguetes y algo más
Ante usted, eleguá
Todos preguntamos
Tres toques le damos
Y usted nos responde de verdad
Ante usted, ante usted eleguá
Todos saludamos
Las gracias le damos
Dulces y juguetes y algo más
Eleguá (laroye)
Eleguá (laroye)
Eleguá (laroye)
