Lyrics [Translation]

She was raised in Cuba
Two daughters of Agayú
She never anticipated such a quick change
But what could she do

Without money in a new world
Nothing made sense
Look guajira, this isn’t the life you had envisioned

She calls herself Santera
There’s no other way
She calls herself Santera
Look how she moves

And now she doesn’t breathe the air where she was raised
The beauty, her lovers, her village
They’re all gone
A promise, a dream, a future
It wasn’t real
The truth isn’t so simple, it’s hard
But she didn’t know

She calls herself Santera
There’s no other way
She calls herself Santera
Look how she moves

Pretty girl
The Queen of the mass
Pretty girl
The breeze took her away
Pretty Girl
They took you from your island
Pretty girl
They stay silent while you're crying
