Lamento Yoruba

Odurasá ibo, wife of Shango, Dante son of Mayombe, Odurasá priest
Today my song rises unpunished, with the blessing of Olodumare
Today I'm singing with passion, with Yemaya's permission
Odurasá Orunmila, proud Yoruba I am
Religion that pierces me, history deeply ingrained
My faith cleanses the impurity of those who have sinned
Leaving a beautiful legacy for Cuba and the world, oh Lucumí
A senseless war ends in slavery
Whip and thirst, pain in the barracks
And since then the pain has been divided into positions
White to the great loves in the sugar cane field
Sugar cane field, la la la la la la, sugar cane field
Oh my Yemaya
Today my song rises unpunished, with the blessing of Olodumare
Today I'm singing with passion, with Yemaya's permission
Because I am Odurasá, proud Yoruba, oh Lucumí
Yoruba I am, oh Lucumí
I am Spanish, I am Cuban, oh I am Caravali
Orula gave me the grace to be a babalawo onato
He gave me the board and the ogba
And the religious offering to save humanity
Yoruba I am, oh Lucumí
I am Spanish, I am Cuban, oh I am Caravali
I am the one who brings the Ashe, I am the one who brings the drum
I am the one who brings the moyugba mixed with the sa oro
Well, for all the religious, blessings
Spiritualists to sing
Oh come protectors to the earth in coronation
Turn your gaze, my God, to this unhappy creature
Oh come protectors to the earth in coronation
Do not give him burial among the waves of the sea
Oh come protectors to the earth in coronation
Give me the strength to save from the abyss
Oh come protectors to the earth in coronation
Give me grace for the same, for your goodness is so great
In coronation the beings descend, if the redeeming light calls you good being
In coronation the beings descend, and they call you with love to the earth
In coronation the beings descend
Christ descended from the high heaven and turned among the clouds
In coronation the beings descend, with faith
Blessing that I am asking from my protective guides
Where is José going, walking alone?
