Lyrics: Chorus:
I will return to the countryside, wait for me there in the hut. (2x)
I want to return to the countryside where my path was born (2x)
And reach my destination guided by the mockingbird (chorus)
The sun on the horizon and the smell of guyaba (2x)
It was what I longed for, that's why I'm leaving for the countryside (chorus)
Wait for me in the hut
Where the pathway takes you to the river
Let the sun guide you on the horizon
And you will know that you have reached the countryside
Listen to the song of the mockingbird
Dance with the palm tree because it comes from your soul
Because the feeling of my song is from the swampland
Oh, I'm coming, I'm coming to the countryside
I light a candle for my Eleguá
I throw the coconuts to see what it gives me
When I want to go out to dance
Eleguá always protects me
I call my Eleguá abuquenque
And he answers me, abuquenque
Coming my Eleguá is coming
With his drum and his batá
Eleguá, aricupapauá, omobá de orisha es Eleguá!
Eleguá, Eleguá is a true santo, Eleguá
He opens and closes the pathways, the owner of my destiny
Where the savanna meets the bush, when I call him he answers
Eleguá, Eleguá, Eleguá he is coming, Eleguá
Eleguá tó, Eleguá tó aña, Eleguá
Above, below he goes, papa, Eleguá tó aña
Eleguá, Eleguá is a true santo, Eleguá
I already answered abuquenque,
Elegua arrived, man
Oh mi coco lo pilla
Ana subáyo ma maneña
Tobacco, rumba and flavor
Hit those skins, turn on the drum
Eleguá, Eleguá
He is a true santo
