Como silencio guardé
as silence I kept
Cantaron otros soneros
Other soneros sang
Libraron lo nueves ceros
They freed the nine zeros
Que una vez les dediqué

Ahora comprendo porque
Now I understand why
Fallaron en su intención

Ay mira que no cantan de corazón
Oh, look, they don't sing from the heart
Y no hay clave que no brinquen
And there is no key that does not jump
Por eso para que afinquen
That's why for them to settle
Aquí les traigo mi son
Here I bring you my son
Yo no ando buscando guerra
I'm not looking for war
Ni a nadie quiero enseñar
I don't want to teach anyone
Pero dá fuerza cantar
But it gives strength to sing
Que con los pies sobre la tierra
that with feet on the ground
En mi guajira se encierra
In my guajira it is enclosed
La profunda comprensión

Filosófica expresión
philosophical expression
Que ni peca ni delinque
That neither sin nor delinquent
El que hierro echa a su afinque
The one that casts iron to his affinque
Cantándole un rico son
singing a rich son
(Pa' que afinquen)
(So that they settle down)
(Yo le canto un son)
(I sing him a son)

Ahora sí que el fantasma apareció

Que de la siete hasta la doce

Para que afinque, para que baile mi guaguancó
So that I settle down, so that my guaguancó dances
De ahí na' mas, oye lo que digo yo
From there nothing else, listen to what I say
Vacila tú como yo
you hesitate like me
La bomba ya se salió

La rumba ya se prendió
The rumba is already on
Baila tú como lo bailo yo
You dance like I dance
Para que afinquen en la rumba

Rumbero bueno entra en la clave
Good rumbero enters the key
Que si no entra, allá afuera te dejo yo
That if it doesn't come in, I'll leave you outside
Entra para que afinque en el rumbón
Enter to settle in the rumbón
Para que afinque, para que goces
So that you settle down, so that you enjoy
Oye si no vale, no te cuelas
