‘‘ Búscate un Babalao y Límpiate Bien’’

CHORUS: Find yourself a babalao and cleanse yourself well. VOICE 1: So that he may cure you of evil and everything may go well for you. CHORUS: Find yourself a babalao and cleanse yourself well. VOICE 1: Elegua opens the paths for you, so behave yourself. CHORUS: Find yourself a babalao and cleanse yourself well. VOICE 1: That's enough. I'm coming. CHORUS: Cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, the only way I'll return to you is with a good cleansing. Cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, and I assure you that I will return to you, give yourself a good cleansing. It was hard to change your bad ways, it became impossible to bear you the way you are. I only ask that you be sensible and not exaggerate. What I did, I could do; I didn't have bad intentions. Correct yourself now, because for love, all the time is never enough. Don't let go of this wild love that thrills me. All of this, yes, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself of those bad influences that are in our love. Yes, you must smooth things over, starting in your head. Cleanse yourself completely, my love. Cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself. The only way I'll come back to you is with a good cleansing. Cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, cleanse yourself, and I assure you I'll come back to you. Give yourself a good cleansing. Cleanse yourself; it won't be hard work. Go and cleanse yourself. VOICE 1: Because of your stupidity or stubbornness, it will be difficult, but not impossible. It's not about cleansing yourself with herbs, but about washing your conscience. CHORUS: Clean yourself up, it won't cost you any work, go and clean yourself up. (...)

CORO: Búscate un babalao
y límpiate bien.

VOZ 1: Para que te cure de lo malo
y todo te salga bien.

CORO: Búscate un babalao
y límpiate bien.

VOZ 1: Elegua te abre los caminos
así que pórtate bien.

CORO: Búscate un babalao
y límpiate bien.

VOZ 1: Está bueno ya.
Yo vengo Iré.

CORO: Límpiate, límpiate, limpia,
límpiate,
como único vuelvo contigo
es con una buena limpieza.

Límpiate, límpiate, limpia,
límpiate,
y te aseguro que vuelvo contigo,
hazte una buena limpieza.

Fue difícil hacer cambiar tu mala forma,
se hizo imposible soportar
como tú eres,
solo te pido que seas sensata y no exageres,
que lo que hice, lo pude hacer, mala intención no tuve,
rectifica ya que para el amor todo el tiempo es poco
no dejes ir este amor salvaje
que me estremece,
todo eso si
limpia, dentro de ti, dentro de ti
esas malas influencias
que hay en nuestro amor,
eso sí,
debes limar asperezas,
desde la cabeza, límpiate toda mi amor.

Límpiate, límpiate, limpia,
límpiate,
como único vuelvo contigo
es con una buena limpieza.

Límpiate, límpiate, limpia,
límpiate,
y te aseguro que vuelvo contigo,
hazte una buena limpieza.

Límpiate,
trabajo no te va a costar,
anda y límpiate.

VOZ 1: Por tu estupidez o testarudez
te va ser difícil pero no imposible.
No es que te limpies con yerba,
sino lavar tu conciencia.
CORO: Límpiate,
trabajo no te va a costar,
anda y límpiate.
