Oye cómo ya, mi ritmo bueno pá gozá, mulata
Hey, how now, my rhythm is good, enjoy, mulatto
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozá, mulata
Hey, how's it going, my rhythm is good, enjoy, mulatto
Si tu no sabes bailar
If you don't know how to dance
Si estás peleado con el son
If you are fighting with him
Sígueme marcando el paso
Follow me setting the pace
Que te aseguro que es de lo más sabrosón
I assure you that it is the most tasty
Voy pá la rumba, la rumba, la rumba
I'm going for the rumba, the rumba, the rumba
Porque me llama, me llama, me llama
Because it calls me, it calls me, it calls me
Y necesito que suene el coro
And I need the chorus to play
Para que se ponga a vacilar y te digo
So that he starts to hesitate and I tell you
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozá, mulata
Hey, how's it going, my rhythm is good, enjoy, mulatto
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozá, mulata
Hey, how's it going, my rhythm is good, enjoy, mulatto
Esto se pone caliente esto se baila apretado
This gets hot this dances tight
Cuatro pasitos pa'l frente
Four steps forward
Y un meneíto de lao
And a lao wiggle
Porque la rumba, la rumba, la rumba
Because the rumba, the rumba, the rumba
Tiene la clave, la clave, la clave
He has the key, the key, the key
Y hay que meterle candela al jarro
And you have to put a candle in the jar
Para que suene así como va te lo repito
So that it sounds like it does, I repeat it to you
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozar, mulata
Hey how it goes, my rhythm is good to enjoy, mulatto
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozar, mulata
Hey how it goes, my rhythm is good to enjoy, mulatto
Oye cómo va
Hey, how is it going
Oye cómo va (Oye cómo va, oye cómo va
Hear how it goes (Hear how it goes, hear how it goes
Quimbara quimbara quimba quimbara
Quimbara quimbara quimba quimbara
Quimbara quimba
Quimbara quimba
Quimbara quimbara quimba quimbara
Quimbara quimbara quimba quimbara
Quimbara quimba ba) oye cómo va
Quimbara quimba ba) hear how it goes
Oye cómo va, cómo va
Hey how it goes, how it goes
Ya llega el negro Vicente
Black Vicente is coming
Y el bodeguero de al lado
And the winemaker next door
Que venga toda mi gente, mi gente
Let all my people come, my people
Para que goce el tumbao
So that the tumbao can enjoy
Porque la rumba, la rumba, la rumba
Because the rumba, the rumba, the rumba
Tiene la clave, la clave, la clave
He has the key, the key, the key
Y hay que meterle candela al jarro
And you have to put a candle in the jar
Para que suene así como va, bien suavecito
So that it sounds like it does, very softly
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozar, mulata
Hey how it goes, my rhythm is good to enjoy, mulatto
Oye cómo va, mi ritmo bueno pá gozar, mulata
