Las Tapas Lyrics in English Johnny Ventura
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Tapas by Johnny Ventura from Spanish to English.
Lo mio no es nuevo
Mine is not new
No es cosa de ahora
It's not a thing of now
Yo soy merenguero
I am a merengue singer
Hasta la tambora
Even the drum
Lo mio no es nuevo
Mine is not new
No es cosa de ahora
It's not a thing of now
Yo soy merenguero
I am a merengue singer
Hasta la tambora
Even the drum
Merenguero hasta la tambora
Merengue singer even the drum
A bailar con guira y tambora
Dancing with guira and drum
Ay, a esperar a que llegue la aurora
Oh, waiting for the dawn to come
Si te vas no te vayas sola
If you leave, don't go alone
Y me gusta el bolero
And I like bolero
Y la salsa de ahora
And today's salsa
Y soy merenguero
And I am a merengue singer
Hasta la tambora
Even the drum
Me gusta el bolero
I like bolero
La salsa de ahora
Today's salsa
Y soy merenguero
And I am a merengue singer
Hasta la tambora
Even the drum
En Nueva York lo bailo con loba
In New York, I dance it with a she-wolf
Ay, ella baila porque me toca
Oh, she dances because it's my turn
Oye negra, nos vamos ahora
Hey, black girl, let's go now
Aunque yo sé que no nos vamos en ñonga

Hay muchas mujeres
