Permiso Que Llego Van Van
Eje o mi baba
Ochu obatala yemaya
Chango oggun oya
Pero los dueños son ifa
Y no hay más na'
Son estos los cantos
Ay que los santos están cantando
A los van van que están celebrando
Sus treinta cumpleaños... Y siguen ahí
Eje o mi baba
Ochu obatala yemaya
Chango oggun oya
Pero los dueños son ifa
Y no hay más na'
Diciembre número cuatro
Del año 69 pegó van van
Y todavía en el 9..9 siguen pegaó
Caballero hasta cuando
Y de repente unos brujos congo
Nos llevaron pa´l monte
Nos convirtieron en camaleones
En gavilanes, jutías y hurones
Y un iroco rompió el hechizo
Aclarando lo sucedido
Era que los montes querían
Darnos como regalo
Un garabato pa' abrir caminos
Esos son palos
Coro
Permiso que llego van van, permiso
Pido permiso para entrar en tu corazón
Una vez mas...y demostrarte mi calidad
Que aqui si hay.

Permission, Here Comes Van Van
Eje or my father
Ochu Obatala Yemaya
Chango Oggun Oya
But the owners are Ifa
And there's nothing else
These are the chants
Oh, the saints are singing
To the Van Van who are celebrating
Their thirtieth birthday... And they're still here
Eje or my father
Ochu Obatala Yemaya
Chango Oggun Oya
But the owners are Ifa
And there's nothing else
December number four
Of the year 69 Van Van hit
And still in 9..9 they're hitting
Gentlemen, until when
And suddenly some Congo wizards
Took us to the mountain
They turned us into chameleons
Into hawks, hutias, and ferrets
And an iroko tree broke the spell
Clarifying what happened
It was that the mountains wanted
To give us as a gift
A staff to open paths
Those are sticks
Chorus
Permission, here comes Van Van, permission
I ask for permission to enter your heart
Once again... and show you my quality
That here it is
Chorus
Permission, here comes Van Van, permission
Now yes... with my Van Van don't scold yourself
That my Van Van is the legend you see
Chorus
Permission, here comes Van Van, permission
Look... and this is to dance it, this is to enjoy it
For your soul to beat and with my feeling tomorrow
Chorus
Permission, here comes Van Van, permission
From night to morning, that's why listen now
Get out of the way I tell you, here comes the train
Move aside, for me to take over... move aside, move aside
I am Van Van, and that's it
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful
Be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful
Look... and don't mess with my little black one
Because those blacks are prepared and high
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful
And as if that wasn't enough, now in the orchestra
I have... two babalao'
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful
And I repeat it like this... be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful
There it is, there it is, there it is...
Chorus
Van Van are Lucumi black, be careful... be careful (x3)
Chorus
Look back, look to the sides
