The chigualos They are original verses from a region of Ecuador, called Manabí, created by the Montubia population. They are a traditional Christmas event, recited between Christmas Day and February 2, Candlemas Day. It has Hispanic origins and its content varies between the veneration of the child God and humorous stories.
On the other hand, in Colombia the verses recited during children's wakes are known as chigualo. It is also known as gualí, lullaby or angel's song.
The Montubia tradition began a hundred years ago, and contains elements of theater, dance, music and gastronomy. 60 years ago it acquired the name of chigualo. The verses are six syllables and some contain elements of mischief but without malicious intent..

The yerbita of this patio
how green she is.
The one who stepped on it is gone
no longer withers.
Get up off this ground,
flowering lemon branch;
lie down in these arms
that were born for you.
With see you write victory,
the heart is with zeta,
love is written with a,
and friendship is respected.

Why the child cries
for a rattle.
Tell him to be quiet

one for the child
and another for you.
I don't want one

let me lull him
let his mother lull him
the one who gave birth to him.

That if the father does not hurt, the father will get angry
And if the black is good and it hurts already
his father Montero is going to work
so that the black one day go to work.
Not breaking rock, no sign, that does not even think.
My black is going to the capital
to learn in books
all the things you don't know here.
So that he learns to speak like the gentlemen.
Just sleep. Just sleep ...
Sleep, sleep, sleep now
That if it doesn't hurt, I regret it now.
And there if my little black to earn his bread
selling fish, chontaduro and salt.
Sleep, boy, sleep now
I opened those big eyes, did you hear
no thanks give me.
Oh blessed black because you don't hurt
well appeased next to your dad.
(Juan Guillermo Rúa)

Let's dance with the child the child leaves
the angels of heaven wings will bring you

Let's make a wheel where the child is
with palm and crown like one more angel

We are partying and they are in heaven
because a black angel can already paint it.
