«She is the daughter of Yalodde» Thus begins this beautiful song dedicated to the daughters of the Yoruba goddess Oshún, queen of love, sweetness and honey bees in the Yoruba Pantheon.
A beautiful song to the daughters of the Yoruba goddess Oshun:
She is the daughter of Yalodde
She has cinnamon on her skin
And walk down the street
honey overflows
a divine smile
I can not contain myself
a face of joy
What a beauty of a woman!
Repetition:
She is the daughter of Yalodde
She has cinnamon on her skin
And walk down the street
honey overflows
a divine smile
I can not contain myself
a face of joy
What a beauty of a woman!
...
I saw her in Old Havana
Loose hair and flirting
The sway of her hips
The men are complimenting
Presumed as Oshun
Very pretty and smelly
The girl is in the Boom
And how he dances, how he believes things
Chorus:
She is the daughter of Yalodde
She has cinnamon on her skin
And walk down the street
honey overflows
a divine smile
I can not contain myself
a face of joy
What a beauty of a woman!
...
little witch little witch
You made me witchcraft
you bewitched my heart
And you filled him with joy
after asking so much
Yalodde put the daylight
You deceived me, you bewitched me
witch you finished with me.
...
she tied me up
With ecstasy, with sleeping
Cartridge paper, put my name on it, put cinnamon on it
Some sunflowers, five candles
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
Repetition:
she tied me up
With enchantment with sleeping
Cartridge paper, put my name on it, put cinnamon on it
Some sunflowers five candles
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
...
Mori yeyeo Yalodde
blood that runs in my veins
Palo that is born for violin
From the mountain he sounds
...
I am the living prophecy
Although they spotted the parrot
people love me
And I'm shining like gold
...
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
He rang the bell and asked Yalodde
So that I wouldn't leave
