Reason for which he suffered the punishment of having her tied up
To the stern for several days, where the sea water hit
Her body in order to subdue her indomitable spirit, many
It was the times that her body was completely covered by
The sea, but he again emerged victorious, as if the sea
Corpulent and dashing prince of African descent
Son of Changó, he arrives in South American lands as a slave
After a rather eventful sea voyage
Endowed with the gift of the word which he used during the journey
So that his companions would not feel defeated
Provoking several revolts on the high seas
He would not want to take it away, hence his respect for the waters
Especially the sea his fellow travelers believed
That he had power over the waters. He arrives in Venezuelan lands
And he draws attention by the size and stature of him, despite the
Physical wear of his body, again they impose all
Class of strong physical work with few hours of rest
To break his rebellion and arrogance, however little
Free time he had, he took advantage of it by reminding his
Brothers of races the benefits of his region where he did not exist
The abuse towards the similar, of the respect to his divinities
Living energies of nature to which they worshiped with the
In order to obtain favors from him, he masterfully teaches the touch
From party-level drumming and the plaintive song of longing, he imparts
Attack techniques, he was skillful with a spear, cunning in fight, cunning
Respectful and aware of the benefits and betrayals of the night, he fights
Because the traditions of his ancestors are not lost, and he insists on
Learn the language of his captors without forgetting that of his region
Native; this in order to know the plans of their foremen
And prepare strategies to survive and/or escape
Corpulent and dashing prince of African descent
Son of Changó, he arrives in South American lands as a slave
After a rather eventful sea voyage
Endowed with the gift of the word which he used during the journey
So that his companions would not feel defeated
Provoking several revolts on the high seas
