Babalú aye

Babalú aye

Babalú

'Ta empezando lo velorio

Que le hacemo a Babalú

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

Y quiero pedir

Que mi negra me quiera

Que tenga dinero

Y que no se muera

Ay! Yo le quiero pedir a Babalú

Una negra muy santa como tú

Que no tenga otro negro

Pa' que no se fuera

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Ay! Yo le quiero pedir a Babalú

Una negra muy santa como tú

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Ay! Yo le quiero pedir

Babalú a ye!

Una negra muy santa

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Que tenga dinero y que no se muera

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!

Babalú a ye!
