Timbalero, que es lo que pasa
Timbalero, what's happening
Pero que mira, mira, mira timbalero
But look, look, look timbalero
Por qué estás triste, si ahorita me dijiste
Why are you sad, if you told me right now
Que me iba a poner a gozar y a vacilar
That I was going to start enjoying and hesitating
Timbalero, timbalero
timbalero, timbalero
Que es lo que pasa que estás tan gallego
What's wrong that you're so Galician?
Parece que tú no quieres tocar ni vacilar

Timba no vas sonar, cuero no tiene ya
