The wake is starting
For the one we do for Babalú
Give me seventeen candles
To put in a cross
Give me a piece of strong tobacco
And a little jar of liquor
Give me some cash, man
So I can get some luck

And I want to ask
That my girl loves me
That she has some cash
And that she doesn’t die
Oh! I want to ask Babalú
For a holy girl just like you
Who doesn’t have another man
So she won’t leave me

Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!

Oh! I want to ask Babalú
For a holy girl just like you

Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Oh! I want to ask
Babalú, oh!
For a holy girl
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Who has some cash and doesn’t die
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
Babalú, oh!
