Babalu Lyrics


Babalu
Babalu
Babalu aye
Babalu aye
Babalu
Jungle drums were badly beating
In the glare of eerie lights:
While the natives kept repeating
Ancient jungle rites.
All at once the dusky warriors began to
Raise their arms to skies above
A a native stepped forward to chant to
his Voodoo Godess of love.
Ah!
CHORUS
Great Babalu!
I'm so lost and forsaken

Ah, great Babalu

Dalva de Oliveira (born as Vicentina Paula de Oliveira in May 5, 1917 - died in Aug 31, 1972) was a Brazilian singer. Married with the composer Herivelto Martins and mother of the great bossa-nova singer Pery Ribeiro.
Dalva showed with one of the great names of the samba-canção sort. Compared with bolero for the exploration and dither of the love-romantic subject or for the suffering of a love not carried through, "dor-de-cotovelo" ("pain-of-elbow") or fossa was also called.
