Thrower of Thunderstorms
Known to many as el chango
Was a great mighty king
Once honored by the bantus of congo

Do you believe in orishas?
Celebrate dia de los innocentes?
Pray with white candles to your saints?
In the night fear the rapture of los duendes..

Is Saint Barbara your protector?
Does she slay with her sword and spill blood?
Shows no mercy to those evil
But does it all because of love..

Is the scared dove an offering?
Do the spirits drink the glass of water under your bed?
Is the white flesh of a coconut symbolic?
Can our souls spirtually talk to the dead?

When you dream  doesn’t that feel real?
Is it like a door to another world mas alla..?
Hijos de chango can you hear the music of gypsies?
Or catch a glimpse of the messenger, el eleggua..?

Ancient West Africa
Yoruba roots from thousands of years
Foregin people to vanilla and sugarcane
Ancestors survived despite blood and tears.

So guard your llekes and hold them close
Bless the baby who carries the cross on their tongue
The bamboche who will see in the future
And see for those who they are among.
