[Verse 1]
You'll be, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, magnet for money
You'll be, mm-mm-mm-mm, magnet for love
You'll feel, hmm, light in your body
Now I'm gonna say, gonna say these words
[Chorus 1]
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
[Verse 2]
It might hmm-mmm-mm-mm...It might rain money
It might hm-hi-hi-hi...It might rain fire
Now I'm gonna call
Gonna call on Legba
Get yourself a sign
Get your love and desire
[Chorus 1]
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
[Chorus 2]
Papa Legba
Come and open the gate
Papa Legba
To the city of camps
Now, we're your children
Come and ride your horse
In the night
In the night
Come and ride your horse
[Verse 3]
There is a queen
Of six and sevens and nines
Dust in your garden
Poison in your mind
There is a king
That will steal your soul
Don't let him catch you
Don't let him get control
[Chorus 1]
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
[Chorus 2]
Papa Legba
Come and open the gate
Papa Legba
To the city of camps
Now, we're your children
Come and ride your horse
In the night
In the night, come and ride your horse
In the night
In the night, come and ride your horse
In the night
In the night, come and ride your horse
You'll be, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, magnet for money
You'll be, mm-mm-mm-mm, magnet for love
You'll feel, hmm, light in your body
Now I'm gonna say, gonna say these words
[Chorus 1]
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
[Verse 2]
It might hmm-mmm-mm-mm...It might rain money
It might hm-hi-hi-hi...It might rain fire

Gonna call on Legba
Get yourself a sign
