She has fire, she has fire

The queen of Cuba

That woman looks like she's from another planet

The way that she moves isn't natural

Men can't withstand her stamina

And one after another, they come and go

They've spent the whole night, test after test

And now none of them wants to dance, dance

When she moves her hips

She has a cyclone in her legs

She's the attraction of the party

And everyone asks, 'What is she made of?'

Parara, prarararara

Parararara, pararara

She has fire, she has fire

Parara, prarararara

Parararara, pararara

Sensual, a supernatural woman

A colossal beauty

She's got some sugar, she's got some salt

And when she moves her waist-ait

She's hard-hard)

Like a sculpture and she makes you hard

When she moves her hips

She has a cyclone in her legs

She's the attraction of the party

And everyone asks, 'What is she made of?'

Parara, prarararara

She has fire, she has fire

That black babe who's walking

That black babe's got her swagger

And when people are watching her, she dances sideways

Also real tight, tight, tight

Oh, that black babe who's walking

That black babe's got her swagger

Oh, the Queen of Cuba came singing

This time with the hottest ones, let's go

The black girl has swagger

And she doesn't walk sideways

The black girl has swagger

And she doesn't walk sideways

The best thing that plays now

With the queen, Celia Cruz

The best that will play

Sugar, sugar

Straight from Cuba to Miami

And from Miami out there beyond

This black babe

Has swagger

Everyone follows her path

That black babe

Has swagger

Everyone follows her path

The black girl has swagger

And she doesn't walk sideways

The black girl has swagger

And she doesn't walk sideways

Let's go Cuba

Tell 'em, Queen

She never walks sideways, sideways

Sugar

SONG MEANING

“Celia” bursts onto the dance floor as a sparkling tribute to Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, and to every woman who carries that same unstoppable tumbao in her hips. Over Gente De Zona’s vibrant Cuban beats, the lyrics paint a larger-than-life figure: a woman forged from “fuego,” sugar, and salt who spins like a cyclone, out-dances every partner, and instantly becomes the magnet of any party. Each ¡Azúcar! and Parararara chant pulls us deeper into the celebration, reminding us of Celia’s iconic calls and the sweet rush of Caribbean rhythm.

More than a party anthem, the song is a shout-out to confidence, cultural pride, and joyful resilience. By repeating Celia’s famous line, “La negra tiene tumbao y no camina de lado,” it tells listeners to stand tall, move forward, and own their uniqueness. “Celia” invites you to feel that fire in your feet and spirit—because when the Queen’s energy hits, nobody can stay off the dance floor.
