Macumba
She is as beautiful as a star,
and turns men into wax.
Now she's set her sights on the man that I love,
she won't stop at nothing to win him.
Macumba, Macumba,
you won't get him.
My love is stronger than your talisman.
Macumba, Macumba,
this time your magic and spells
will not work, he belongs to his love 1.
Oh, Macumba.
¡Macumba!
She lives on forbidden loves
because- she says- those are the funniest.
But he has a sign:
"You can look but you can't touch",
painted with kisses from my mouth.
Macumba, Macumba,
you won't get him.
My love is stronger than your talisman.
Macumba, Macumba,
this time your magic and spells
will not work, he belongs to his love.
Oh, Macumba.
She walks amongst the rich and powerful
with his TV soap opera airs.
But this time my love
will triumph over her charms,
because he loves me and I love him so much.
Macumba, Macumba,
you won't get him.
My love is stronger than your talisman.
Macumba, Macumba,
this time your magic and spells
will not work, he belongs to his love.
Oh Macumba (x2)
- 1. Even though "mamá" literally means "mom", in several parts of South American it's fairly common for female love interests to be referred to, or refer to themselves, as "mamá" or "mami"

Over de vertaler:
"Macumba" originally was an African-imported musical percussion instrument that produced a raspy sound, similar to another instrument called reco-reco.
Its use in certain ceremonies of non-Abramic religions on several Brazilian states,especially Bahía, ended up forging a link whereas "Macumba" would also be a pejorative word associated with black magic of diverse types.
In this particular song, Macumba is also implied to be the sorceress or witch that besieges the singer's love interest, probably through means of "macumba" itself, or black magic.
