Duermo y despierto
Mientras sueño
Y cruzo el tiempo

Y vuelvo hasta el primer ayer
Entre la luz del primogenio
Me espera la memoria
Que otro vio nacer

Regreso a la primera huella
Cuando la vida comenzaba
En Africa, viaja eleggua
Sobre una estrella

Y abre el camino que conduce
América

El camino lo abre eleggua

Del "Clan de lara", de la tierra de arara
Vida que fluye del africa
Nuestra fuente original

Desde un mundo sin pasado
Sin fronteras ni extranjeros
Cuando todo comenzaba
Cuando no existía el dinero

En mi entraña va el recuerdo
De lo que otro ser sintió
Vertical el horizonte
La espiral que lo formó
Un camino hecho de estrellas

Alumbrando a la distancia
La raiz de un sueño nuevo
Que sólo el que insiste alcanza
La piel es pura geografía

El alma, en cambio, es el proyecto universal
Sangre del mundo que nos cria
Del primogenio ser, la fuente original
El camino lo abrió eleggua
