once

the song that is in fashion plays at

women like crazy do not stop dancing

This rhythm has a question or its image

I get dizzy and on that island yes stop that

here and there

maybe it moves moves moves and gives me

kill dance and moves moves moves

bite systems also kill when dancing

finally severe and now it's coming out

anything goes what's up

with hands up to live life

you have to enjoy

to them or the crazy palms at the hours

under what it sounds than never in what it is

Hit hit and I have three months what a rhythm

correct on the pure track of the line the

heart that skate me and civil from the

control

to touch here and see his face, I no longer know

moves, dies, dies killing and

Killing the dance and it moves, it moves, it

die and kill me they kill me when dancing

for this for when turbay brain and

now to move things are dying

alone

no way

put your hands up to live the

life must be enjoyed

when moving the tail shaking all father

no way

hands up to live

life must be enjoyed

and we're going crazy, she dances alone

now to move the hours leaving

all come on

cola — tail / butt

Cola literally translates to "tail" in Spanish. However, in many Latin American contexts, especially in popular music, it's a common slang term for "butt" or "rear end."

In "La Cola," the song repeatedly encourages listeners to "mover la cola" (move the tail/butt), which is a clear invitation to dance and shake their hips. This double meaning makes the word playful and central to the song's energetic and danceable theme.

Get ready to move with Los Palmeras' "La Cola"! This song is all about the irresistible urge to dance when a catchy tune comes on. The lyrics describe how a popular song makes "las mujeres como loca no la dejan de bailar" [the women crazy, they can't stop dancing]. It's a feeling we all know, right? That rhythm just takes over!

The song really emphasizes the physical joy of dancing, with lines like "se mueve se mueve se mueve y me da me matan a bailar" [it moves, it moves, it moves and it makes me, it kills me to dance] and the repeated call to "mover la cola sacudiendo todo" [move your tail, shaking everything]. It's a simple, fun message: life is for enjoying, and sometimes that means just letting loose on the dance floor. "Para vivir la vida hay que gozar" [To live life, you have to enjoy it] – and what better way than with a great cumbia beat?
