Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Poco A Poco by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
Un chachacha tu me pediste
a chachacha you asked me
Y yo te voy a complacer
And I'm going to please you
Hay muchas cosas en la vida
There are many things in life
Que no se puedes comprender
that you cannot understand
Y poco a poco despacito
And little by little slowly
Voy escribiendo su compas
I'm writing your compa
Para que quede cuadradito
To make it square
Mi rico y suave chachacha
My rich and soft chachacha
Un chachacha tu me pediste
a chachacha you asked me
Y yo te voy a complacer
And I'm going to please you
Hay muchas cosas en la vida
There are many things in life
Que no se puedes comprender
that you cannot understand
Y poco a poco despacito
And little by little slowly
Voy escribiendo su compas
I'm writing your compa
Para que quede cuadradito
To make it square
Mi rico y suave chachacha
My rich and soft chachacha
Ay mama como me gusta el chachacha
Oh mom how I like chachacha
Un chachacha tu me pediste
a chachacha you asked me
Y te lo voy a contar ya tu veras
And I'm going to tell you and you'll see
Ay mama como me gusta el chachacha
Oh mom how I like chachacha
Ok, bailalo con tu pareja como tu quieras
Ok, dance it with your partner however you want
Que nadie te va a criticar
That no one is going to criticize you
Ay mama como me gusta el chachacha
Oh mom how I like chachacha
Y si te critican o se burlan de ti
And if they criticize you or make fun of you
No le hagas caso que te vas a enredar
Don't pay attention to him, you're going to get tangled
Ay mama como me gusta el chachacha
Oh mom how I like chachacha
Ey chachacha lo mas sublime
Hey chachacha the most sublime
Para el publico alegre mama
For the happy public mom
