Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Merengue by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
El merengue en mi Cuba
The Merengue in my Cuba
Gusta mucho de verdad
Truly enjoyed
Por su ardiente sabrosura
For its passionate flavor
Y su ritmo sin igual
And its unparalleled rhythm
El merengue es muy sabroso
The Merengue is very pleasant
Esa es mi opinión
That is my opinion
Yo lo bailo con sandunga
I dance it with style
Mira gózalo ahora tú
Watch and enjoy it now
El merengue en mi Cuba
The Merengue in my Cuba
Gusta mucho de verdad
Truly enjoyed
Por su ardiente sabrosura
For its passionate flavor
Y su ritmo sin igual
And its unparalleled rhythm
El merengue es muy sabroso
The Merengue is very pleasant
Esa es mi opinión
That is my opinion
Yo lo bailo con sandunga
I dance it with style
Mira gózalo ahora tú
Watch and enjoy it now
Lo bailo aquí
I dance it here
Ay, te gusta así
Oh, you like it this way
Apambichao'
American style Merengue
From 'Palm Beach' came the word 'apambichado', meaning an American style of dancing to Merengue that is slower and easier to dance

(El merengue) báilalo botado
