Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Ay, uy, ay, uy

The campanera has already arrived

She's from El Campano, Colombian coast

The most cumbia-loving woman

that the coast of La Sabana has

That black campanera

She's looking for the savanna tiger

so that the campanero plays for her

because she wants to dance the cumbiamba

She left the Colombian coast

for Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey

She's heading to the Mexican coast

to dance cumbia until dawn

Acapulco and in San Marcos, Guerrero

She says that right there she stays

to see who the cumbianderos are

that can keep up with the campanera

because she's dangerous with her hip movement

and the men she grabs she leaves shaking

She wants to dance on all the coasts of Guerrero

because she knows that they're quite cumbianderos

Over there on the small coast and on the big coast, the black girl

To a cumbia circle goes the campanera

Over there on the small coast and on the big coast, the black girl

The black campanera is going to dance the cumbia

Uy uy uy uy, black girl, and she says

Ay, uy

And Víctor Mata, movement

Movement, black girl

Move, move, Monica

Ay, uy

Yes, yes, yes

because she's dangerous with her hip movement

and the men she grabs she leaves shaking

She wants to dance on all the coasts of Guerrero

because she knows that they're quite cumbianderos

Over there on the small coast and on the big coast, the black girl

To a cumbia circle goes the campanera

Over there on the small coast and on the big coast, the black girl

The black campanera is going to dance the cumbia

Move, move, black girl

Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, ay, ay

cumbiandera — cumbia dancer

Cumbiandera refers to a woman who is an excellent cumbia dancer or someone who loves to dance cumbia. It's a vibrant and specific term that immediately evokes the lively spirit of Colombian and Mexican cumbia music.

In "La Campanera," the word is used to describe the main character as "la mujer más cumbiandera" (the most cumbia-dancing woman), highlighting her skill and passion for this traditional dance. It's a word that truly captures the essence of the song's cultural roots and energetic rhythm.

Get ready to move with Aniceto Molina's "La Campanera"! This song introduces us to a fantastic dancer from El Campano, a coastal town in Colombia. She's described as "la mujer más cumbiandera" [the most cumbia-dancing woman] from the Sabana coast, and she's on a mission to dance!

Our campanera is looking for a "tigre sabanero" [sabanero tiger] to play music for her because she wants to dance cumbia until dawn. She travels from the Colombian coast all the way to Mexico, hitting up Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, Acapulco, and San Marcos, Guerrero. She's a force on the dance floor, described as "peligrosa con su movimiento de cadera" [dangerous with her hip movement], leaving men trembling! She wants to dance through all the coasts of Guerrero, knowing they have plenty of cumbia dancers who can keep up with her. It's a fun, energetic celebration of cumbia and a woman who absolutely loves to dance!
