Canto Abacuá(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 |

| 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 |
