These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nunca dejes de sonar, mi tambora
Never stop playing, my tambora
Archipiélago de toque escondido
Hidden touch archipelago
Eres trueno de una muerte sonora
You are thunder from a sound death
Muerte de madera y chivo
Death of wood and goat
Nunca dejes de sonar, mi tambora
Never stop playing, my tambora
Crisantemos despeinados te adornan
Disheveled chrysanthemums adorn you
Y la güira se ha postrado en tu cama
And the güira has prostrated itself in your bed
Suena un ángel
Sounds like an angel
¡Hey!, viste de tambora
Hey, wear tambora
Con, con la tumbadora
With, with the tumbadora
Mil luceros
Thousand luceros
Los forjan tu corona
They forge your crown
Nunca dejes de sonar, mi tambora
Never stop playing, my tambora
Tu cintura, aroma de aserradero
Your waist, sawmill aroma
Y derrama de otras manos tu sangre
And shed your blood from other hands
Ve pariendo un tamborero
Go giving birth to a drummer
Por allá por el estado de zulia
Over there in the state of Zulia
En la parte norte de venezuela
In the northern part of Venezuela
Le nacieron alas a mi tambora
Wings were born to my tambora
Por los andes
Through the Andes
Sueña mi tambora
Dream my tambora
Con, con la tumbadora
With, with the tumbadora
Mil luceros
Thousand luceros
Los forjan tu corona
They forge your crown
Suena un ángel
Sounds like an angel
¡Hey!, viste de tambora
Hey, wear tambora
Con, con la tumbadora
With, with the tumbadora
Mil luceros
Thousand luceros
Los forjan tu corona
They forge your crown
