Está empezando el velorio
Que le hacemos a Babalú
Dame diecisiete velas
Pa pornelas en cruz
Dame un cabo de tabaco, mañiengue
Y un jarrrito de aguardiente
Dame um poco de dinero, mañiengue
Pa que me de la surte
Yo le quero pedir
Que me nego me quiera
Ai, negro
Que le tenga dinero
Y que no se muera
Yo le quero pedir, a Babalú
Un negrito muy santo
Como tu
Que no tenga otra nega
Y que no se muera
