Suelta El Bongo Lyrics in English by La-33
Rumbón is a vibrant and energetic word that refers to a big party, a lively gathering, or a jam session, especially one with lots of music and dancing. It's an intensified form of "rumba," which itself means party or a type of Cuban dance.
In "Suelta El Bongo," the lyrics declare, "Y este rumbón la comenzó" (And this big party started it). It perfectly captures the infectious, high-energy atmosphere of the song and the invitation to let loose and dance.
Get ready to move with La-33's "Suelta el Bongo"! This song is all about the power of salsa music to lift your spirits and get you dancing. It starts by describing a drum, a "cuero sin tierra" [leather without land], feeling lonely and "sin alma" [without a soul]. But then, everything changes when the salsa arrives! The lyrics tell us that the music helps you "olvida sus penas" [forget your sorrows] and that "este rumbón ya comenzó" [this party has already begun].
The main message is a direct command to "Suelta el bongoe y ponte a gozar" [Let go of the bongo and start to enjoy yourself]! The singer really wants you to "ponme a gozar con ese bongoe" [make me enjoy myself with that bongo], emphasizing the desire for everyone to join in the fun. It's a call to let loose, hit that bongo hard, and just dance until the party's over, as they say, "Revienta duro ese cuero hermano mio que esto ya acabo" [Break that leather hard, my brother, because this is already over]. It's pure, unadulterated party energy!
