Yo soy el campanero soy de la costa norte de
I am the bell ringer, I am from the northern coast of
Colombia Y en todo el mundo entero ando tocando
Colombia And all around the world I go playing
Tocando mi cumbia sabrosa
Playing my tasty cumbia
Yo soy el campanero soy de la costa norte de
I am the bell ringer, I am from the northern coast of
Colombia Y en todo el mundo entero ando tocando

Tocando mi cumbia sabrosa

Y la gente baila con mi esmero
And people dance with my dedication
Cuando oyen el trinar de mis notas
When they hear the chirping of my notes
En el baile todos se alborotan
At the dance, everyone gets excited
Con mi ritmo alegre y cumbiambero

Si les toco un paseo ballenato

Me piden un paseo sabanero

Con cariño y amor les complazco
