Saludo a Eleguá
Celia Cruz
Greetings to Eleguá
With three taps on the ground
The greeting to Eleguá is made
So that he opens the door
As the week begins now
Eleguá, divine warrior
Who clears the path
And with whom always, always
One must count
Eleguá, little giant
Standing on the corner
Looking for toys,
Sweets, and something more
Eleguá, preferred by God
Spoiled child
Without his permission
One cannot walk
Before you, Eleguá
We all ask
We give three taps
And you truly answer us
Before you, Eleguá
We all greet
We thank you
Sweets, toys, and something more
Before you, Eleguá
We all ask
We give three taps
And you truly answer us
Before you, before you Eleguá
We all greet
We thank you
Sweets, toys, and something more
