Santa Bárbara

Blessed Saint Barbara, my lyre arises for you
Blessed Saint Barbara, my lyre arises for you
And with emotion it is inspired, before your beautiful image
Long live Changó, Long live Changó

With infinite will, I start from the heart
the melodious expression, asking that from heaven
you send us your comfort, and your holy blessing
Long live Changó, Long live Changó

Venerated and pure Virgin, Blessed Saint Barbara
Venerated and pure Virgin, Blessed Saint Barbara
Our favorite prayer, we take it to your height

With joy and tenderness, I want to bring my troubadour song
There in your sacred mansion, where the good illuminates
next to your divine cup, and your most holy sword
Long live Changó, Long live Changó

In the name of my nation, Saint Barbara I ask you (repeat)
That you shower us with your fluid, your sacred blessing
Long live Changó, Long live Changó

I also from the heart, will give you my murmur
With pride and power, I will make your name rise
And in the name of my Cuba, this greeting I send you
