| Babalu |
| Babalu |
| babalu aye |
| babalu aye |
| Babalu |
| It's starting the wake |
| What do we do to Babalu |
| Give me seventeen candles |
| To put him on the cross. |
| Give me a piece of tobacco mayenye |
| And a little jar of brandy, |
| Give me some money mayenye |
| So that he gives me luck. |
| I |
| want to ask |
| that my black loves me |
| have money |
| And that she does not die |
| Av! |
| I want to ask Babalu 'na very holy black woman like you not to have another |
| black |
| So that he does not leave. |
