about

Arrayano refers to people who are of mixed Dominican and Haitian
ancestry, or people from the border area, where the cultures of the two
countries begin to blur. Featuring Latin Grammy-winner Vicente García, the
song tells a cross-border story of love and migration, borrowing for its
chorus a line from a chant to Papa Legba, a deity that appears both in
Dominican and Haitian folk religions.

lyrics

Desde que no la veo
No me he vuelto a enamorar
Tengo un callo en el deo
De trabajar para cruzar
Pa' dormir en su pecho
Y soñar en su cama
Abreme lo' camino
Que el cariño me llama


Papa Legba, Papa Legba, Papa legba
Amor que en mi pecho no tiene bandera

Papa Legba, Papa Le, Papa Legba
No tiene color, religion ni frontera

Papa Legba, Papa Legba,Papa legba
Amor que si vuelve le prendo una vela

Papa Legba, Papa Le, Papa Legba

Esto es Amor arrayano (x3)


Hace un tiempo fue el deseo
Y hoy es la necesidad
Tengo un cayo aquí en mi pecho
Desde que ella ya no está
Cruzaré por el rio
Llegaré a la capital
Abreme lo camino
Pa' curar este mal


Papa Legba, Papa Legba, Papa legba
Amor que en mi pecho no tiene bandera

Papa Legba, Papa Le, Papa Legba
No tiene color, religion ni frontera

Papa Legba, Papa Legba,Papa legba
Amor que si vuelve le prendo una vela

Papa Legba, Papa Le, Papa Legba

Esto es Amor arrayano (x3)

Final
Negra te hablaré en pororó (x3)
Negra te amaré en pororó (x3)
Negra te amaré
