Olé Caterina

0

Babalú
Babalú
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!
