Canto Abacua(original) |
Se escucha el sonar de tambores |
Anuncian la misa pa’l que tenga fe |
Y en medio de la noche oscura |
Avanzan los fieles con rumbo al bemb |
Se oye el repique’l tamb |
Ecos de un viejo cantar |
Olofi, Lofi y Vilat |
En medio e’la oscuridad |
Y sigue vibrando la noche |
Al compás bolero del coquioyamba |
Los negros se agarran las manos |
Repitiendo a coro |
El viejo cantar |
Se oye el repique del oyamba |
Van cantando los niches de madruga |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Ay, a prisa negro que la misa va a empezar |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Yo por eso le canto porque yo se que el santo me pue' ayudar |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Le pedimos la libertad |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Campanas, campanas, campanas llamando estan |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Abasi vigila en la oscuridad |
Abasi es tambores abacua |
Cantando de madruga |
Abasi es tambores abacua |
Se escucha el misterioso cantar |
Abasi es tambores abacua |
Son los niches que te vienen a rezar |
Abasi es tambores abacua |
Mis tambores abacua |
Abasi es tambores abacua |
Abasi |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Abacua |
Este es mi canto abacua |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Ay, tambores de madruga |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Ayofi veme a ayudar |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Oye mi canto abacua |
Oye mi canto abacua |
(translation) |
The sound of drums is heard |
They announce the mass for those who have faith |
And in the middle of the dark night |
The faithful advance towards the bemb |
You can hear the peal'l tamb |
Echoes of an old song |
Olofi, Lofi and Vilat |
In the middle of the dark |
And the night continues to vibrate |
To the bolero beat of coquioyamba |
blacks hold hands |
repeating in chorus |
the old sing |
The ringing of the oyamba is heard |
They sing the niches at dawn |
Hear my singing abacua |
Oh, hurry black, the mass is going to start |
Hear my singing abacua |
That's why I sing to him because I know that the saint can help me |
Hear my singing abacua |
We ask for freedom |
Hear my singing abacua |
Bells, bells, bells are calling |
Hear my singing abacua |
Abasi watches in the dark |
Abasi is abacua drums |
Singing early |
Abasi is abacua drums |
You hear the mysterious singing |
Abasi is abacua drums |
They are the niches that come to you to pray |
Abasi is abacua drums |
my drums abacua |
Abasi is abacua drums |
Abazi |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
abacua |
This is my abacua song |
Hear my singing abacua |
Oh, early morning drums |
Hear my singing abacua |
Ayofi see me help |
Hear my singing abacua |
Hear my singing abacua |
Hear my singing abacua |
