Canto Para Elewa y Changó
Orishas
Song for Elewa and Changó
Son Eleggua, my saint Elewa, my life Elewa
Blessings to the king of the roads
The law of my destiny
Red and black like red wine
Who opens the paths with his staff
Ica of aguardiente, tobacco smoke, dressed in a sack
Who lets me see when I'm opaque
Follow his steps, ask for health
And to keep you away from bad times
I ask for the blessing to express my feelings
Everything you ask of me, consider it done
I do not profess, my philosophy when it comes to Echún
Blessings to Eleggua
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
What I say is what I think
What I think is what I feel
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth
I, like a lightning, say crazy what I feel
My voice that roars like the wind
White and red I represent
Changó virtuous, powerful like a bear
Quite lazy, playful, fiery
Holy Barbara, blessed is your Changó
Guide your children like me on the right path
Give light, lady of virtue
Strength, hope, trust in you, with your sword advance
My miko is as strong as Ogún's machete
And as sweet as Ochún's honey
I am an Orisha, close your mouth
Sent by Oloffi to govern the Earth
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
What I say is what I think
What I think is what I feel
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth
Melody for the Orishas
That I carry in my heart with love
I ask for health and inspiration
And also for the blessing
I ask for all those who have faith
The same as you see for me
For the foolish and the cowardly
May they never be here
Orishas arrive with their underground letter of the year
For those who have been traitors, they won't last a round
I find myself protected by nature
And firmly, for all the good ones, I will donate my intelligence
May the fruit of patience be in your hands
A lot of work and suffering has cost the Orishas
To be in the place they have earned
Although many times I stumble with that
That grows from that which dies sometimes dozens of times
Sometimes it doesn't deserve what happens even if it stresses
For the Orishas, their mouth does not grow
You will remember my voice, before you pray, before you pray, pray
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth, I say
What I say is what I think
What I think is what I feel
Song for Eleggua and for Changó
I sing the truth
