The song celebrates the rich cultural roots of the Afro-Cuban religion and its connection to nature, identity, and spirituality. With lively rhythms, an infectious melody, and José Alberto’s commanding vocals.
Brrr…
Ahh, ehh…
In my Cuba a bush is born
that without permission you cannot 'tomb'
and you can't lie down
because they are Orishas.
And you can't lie down, no, no, no, noo
because they are Orishas.
That bush is born in the mountains,
that bush has power
and that kills e', Siguaraya, ha, haa...
that kills eeeeee’ Siguaraya.

Look, that bush is good for 'santigua'.
