This is my first ever recording of a non-English song. It's written from the perspective of an Afro-Cuban man praying to the Santeria orisha Babalu Aye for help with his love problems and to ensure the faithfulness of his lover.

Here are the lyrics:

Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu a ye

Esta empezando lo velorio
Que le hacemo a Babalu
Dame diez y siete velas
Pa ponerla en cruz.

Y dame un cabo de tabaco Mayenye
Y un jarrito de aguardiente.
Y dame un poca de dinero Mayenye
Pa que me de la suerte.

Yo quiero pedir
Que mi negra me quiera
Que tenga dinero
Y que no se muera
¡Ay! Vo le quiero pedir a Babalu
Una negra bembona como tu que no tengo otro negro
Pa que no se fuera

Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!
Babalu a ye!

Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye

Babalu

It seems that one must register with the above-linked website first.

This is "Twilight In Barakeesh" transposed down.

Incidentally, I want to make it as a classical crossover singer. Would songs like My Little Castagnette and Song of the Brass Key, One Good Boy Gone Wrong, Habanera, Neath The Southern Moon, Granada and Don't Cry for Me Argentina make a good choice to sing?

This is "The King Beneath The Mountains" from The Hobbit. I just love Tolkien.
