Camba Cua

They celebrate on January 6
Its function San Baltasar,
The most candombero saint
That one can imagine.
For being this little saint's
The 'junction of the cambá'
They've already set up the little dance
The ones from 'barrio camba cua'.

Cambá, cuápe aimé
Cambá, cuápe ayú,
And here I arrived
Because rojhaijhú
With the mbaracá
Goes my heart.
Long live the function
Of my camba cua!

Under the leafy bower
The group gets mixed up,
Just like a cattle roundup
Of a charabón tropero.
While ño falucho
Takes care of the chipá mbocá;
Ña rita or timbói pucho
While the cambá dance.

Cambá, cuápe aimé
Cambá, cuápe ayú,
And here I arrived
Because rojhaijhú
With the mbaracá
Goes my heart.
Long live the function
Of my camba cua!
