Lyrics for Mayumbe

E-mail Print PDF
Note - This song is about Cuban Santeria, specifically Palo Mayombe and invoking Chango (the singers are speaking as Chango).

Mayumbe

Tell the magnates
That Mosqueda says
If you practice Mayombe
I am a Mayombero

Chorus

Knock me over now

Inspiration

I eat fire (Chango is the god of fire, lightning and thunder)

Knock me over now

I am lucumí (refers to Santa Barbara or Chango the patron saint of the Lucumí)

Knock me over now

my bongó is calling

Knock me over now

I don’t believe in anybody

Knock me over now

I am Siete Rayos (this refers to the seven rays of sun and lightning, but also an anti-spanish conspiracy from 1823)
