Sálvame
Cuca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sálvame morena

Vamos mi negra, practica brujeria
Vamos mulata, con tu santeria
Llamen al chango, invoca a yemaya
Que me absuelva, obatala

Que me salve el guru
Que me salve el vudu
Mejor todavia, salvame tu

Besame esta, reza por mi
Besame esta, para salvarme tiene que ser asi

Saquen los santos y sus veladoras
Saqen las gallinas y bailen señoras

Saquen pociones
Saquen ofrendas
Pa que los espiritus no se nos ofendan

Que me salve el guru




Que me salve el vudu
Mejor todavia, salvame tu
