Babalú Babalú,
Babalú ayé
Babalú ayé
Ta empesando el velorio
Que le hacemo Babalú
Dame diecisiete velas
Pa ponerle en cruz,
Dame um cabo de tabaco Mayenye
Y um jarrito de agua ardiente,
Dame um poco de dinero Mayenye
Pa que me de la suerte.
Yo quiero pedi que mi negra me quiera
Que tenga dinero
Y que no se muera!ay!
Yo quiero pedi
Babalú
Una negra muy santa
Como tu
Que no tenga otro negro
Pa que no se fuera
Babalú ayé
Babalú ayé
Babalú ayé.
