Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Donde Estabas Anoche by Aymée Nuviola from Spanish to English.
El Sepeto Santiaguero
The Santiaguero Sepeto
Avísale ami vecina que aquí estoy yo
Tell my neighbor that I'm here
Que venga para que aprenda dulce cantar
That she comes so that she learns sweet singing
Después no quiero que diga
Later I don't want her to say
Que di la rumba y no la invite
That I threw the party and didn't invite her
Que venga para que aprecie sonoridad
That she comes so that she appreciates sound
¿Dónde andabas anoche?
Where were you last night?
Que bien te busque, recorrí La Habana y
I looked for you well, I roamed Havana and
No te encontré
I didn't find you
Avísale ami vecina que aquí estoy yo
Tell my neighbor that I'm here
Que venga para que aprenda dulce cantar
That she comes so that she learns sweet singing
Después no quiero que diga
Later I don't want her to say
Que di la rumba y no la invite
That I threw the party and didn't invite her
Que venga para que aprecie sonoridad
That she comes so that she appreciates sound
¿Dónde andabas anoche?
Where were you last night?
Que bien te busque, recorrí la habana y
I looked for you well, I roamed Havana and
No te encontré
I didn't find you
Ven ven iroko ven ven, esa trompeta
Come come iroko come come, that trumpet
Ven ven iroko ven ven, dale
Come come iroko come come, go ahead
Ven ven iroko ven ven, se que me estabas llamando
Come come iroko come come, I know you were calling me
Ven ven iroko ven ven, donde tu andabas vecina
Come come iroko come come, where were you neighbor?
Ven ven iroko ven ven, metidita en la cocina
Come come iroko come come, tucked away in the kitchen
Ven ven iroko ven ven, y yo te estaba esperando
Come come iroko come come, and I was waiting for you
Ven ven iroko ven ven, se que pasaste la noche por mi preguntado
Come come iroko come come, I know you spent the night asking about me
Ven ven iroko ven ven, ven ven camina
Come come iroko come come, come come walk
Oye, ¿tú sabe lo que viene ahora?, sabor
Hey, do you know what comes now? Flavor
Prepárate, que llego
Get ready, I'm here
Puchala chamaco
Puchala chamaco
Sacúdelo, que tiene arena
Shake it, it has sand
Iroko ven ven, pero oye mi iroko
Iroko come come, but listen my iroko
Iroko ven ven, mi vecino me ve y se vuelve loco
Iroko come come, my neighbor sees me and goes crazy
Iroko ven ven, yo creo que avece le patina el coco
Iroko come come, I think sometimes he loses his mind
Iroko ven ven, esto es poco a poco
Iroko come come, this is little by little
Iroko ven ven
Iroko come come
Iroko ven ven, y tu veras que te va a gustar
Iroko come come, and you'll see that you're going to like it
Iroko ven ven
Iroko come come
Iroko ven ven
Iroko come come
Iroko ven ven
Iroko come come
Iroko ven ven
Iroko come come
Que tiene arena
It has sand
Ven ven iroko ven ven
Come come iroko come come
Ven ven iroko ven ven
Come come iroko come come
