Lyrics of Y Que Tu Quieres Que Te Den - Adalberto Alvarez y Su Son

Y Que Tu Quieres Que Te Den (original)

Desde el Africa vinieron
Y entre nosotros quedaron
Todos aquellos guerreros
Que a mi cultura pasaron
Obatala las Mercedes
Ochun es la Caridad
Santa Barbara es Chango
La regla es Yemaya
Va a empezar la ceremonia
Vamos a hacer calidad
La casa esta repleta
Ya no caben mas
Y todos se preguntan que dira Elegua
El abre los caminos esa es la verdad
Vamos a darle coco a ver que nos da
La gente sale, la gente viene y todos piden los que les conviene
Voy a pedir lo bueno para mi mama, y para mi familia la tranquilidad
Que todo el mundo en esta tierra, se porte bien y se acabe la guerra
Hay gente que te dice que no creen en nada, y van a consultarse por la madrugada
No tengas pena pide pati, no pidas cosas malas que te vas a arrepentir!
Y que tu quieres que te de?
Dime
Que es lo que tu quieres que te de
Pidele a Chango para que te sientas bien
Desde el Africa vinieron y entre nosotros quedaron
Por eso pidele a tu santo, pidele a tu santo otra vez
Voy a pedir pa ti (por si acaso) lo mismo que tu pa' mi
Si yo se que nos queremos, como no lo voy a hacer asi
De corazon lo siento, yo pedire para ti lo mejor, lo mejor
Y te repito que yo pedire
Y para amarte el camino por siempre mi vida encontrare
Lo mismo
Y que tu quieres pa' mi?

(translation)

From Africa they came
And between us they remained
all those warriors
that happened to my culture
Obatala the Mercedes
Ochun is Charity
Santa Barbara is Chango
The rule is Yemaya
The ceremony is going to start
let's do quality
the house is full
They don't fit anymore
And everyone wonders what Elegua will say
He opens the paths that is the truth
Let's give him coconut to see what he gives us
People go out, people come and everyone asks for what suits them
I am going to ask for what is good for my mom, and peace of mind for my family
May everyone on this earth behave well and end the war
There are people who tell you that they don't believe in anything, and they go to see each other at dawn
Don't be embarrassed, ask Pati, don't ask for bad things, you're going to regret it!
And what do you want me to give you?
Tell me
What do you want me to give you?
Ask Chango to make you feel good
From Africa they came and among us they stayed
That's why ask your saint, ask your saint again
I'm going to ask for you (just in case) the same as you for me
If I know we love each other, how can I not do it like that
I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart, I'll ask for the best for you, the best
And I repeat that I will ask
And to love you the way forever my life I will find
The same
And what do you want for me?
