Para Que Lo Bailes Lyrics in English La Sonora Dinamita

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Para Que Lo Bailes by La Sonora Dinamita from Spanish to English.
They say that it's red wine
But my little car's a grape red
It's the latest model
It always goes with me wherever I go, my little car
Because it's my buddy, that little car is my life
I've never had complaints about him
When I land a girl
He takes me wherever I want
When I land a girl
He takes me wherever I want
Miss, at your service, I'll take you!
No thanks, I'm waiting for the old man with the big hat
Oh, don't tell me, what a lucky old man
Oh, he's here, you'll see
The old man with the big hat!
That old man sure is a good one
The old man with the big hat!
For getting women
The old man with the big hat!
Maybe he has a secret
The old man with the big hat!
That old man sure's got moves
I'm gonna buy myself a hat
A real flashy hat
To give him competition
Against the old man with the big hat
Babe of my soul
I have a worry
Why are you so taken with the old man with the big hat?
What's happening is that a drop of water on a stone makes a hole
That old man has his little car and every time he goes by he smiles at me
He drives past and comes back if he finds me standing in the doorway
He throws me a compliment and honks the horn at me
He drives past and comes back if he finds me standing in the doorway
He throws me a compliment and honks the horn at me
Beep-beep-beep, every little while the old guy passes and honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, every little while the old guy passes and honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, I'm always on the lookout
Beep, when the old man honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, I'm always on the lookout, beep-beep when the old man honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, he's got me dizzy with the beep-beep, with the beep-beep, with the beep-beep
With the beep-beep he honks his horn, beep-beep, he's got me dizzy with the beep-beep
What's happening is that a drop of water on a stone makes a hole
That old man has his little car and every time he goes by he smiles at me
He drives past and comes back if he finds me standing in the doorway
He throws me a compliment and honks the horn at me
He drives past and comes back if he finds me standing in the doorway
He throws me a compliment and honks the horn at me
Beep-beep-beep, every little while the old guy passes and honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, every little while the old guy passes and honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, I'm always on the lookout
Beep, when the old man honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, I'm always on the lookout, beep-beep when the old man honks at me
Beep-beep-beep, he's got me dizzy with the beep-beep, with the beep-beep, with the beep-beep
With the beep-beep he honks his horn, beep-beep, he's got me dizzy with the beep-beep

SONG MEANING

Get ready for a cheeky cumbia ride! “Para Que Lo Bailes” paints a bustling street scene where a flashy carrito and its proud owner cruise around looking for fun. He thinks his new-model car is the ultimate chick-magnet, yet every girl seems to be waiting for el viejo del sombrerón, an older gentleman whose oversized hat, smooth compliments and playful car horn —pi pi pi— work like magic. The result is a lighthearted rivalry: our narrator vows to buy an even bigger hat so he can compete for the ladies’ attention.

Through witty banter and catchy horn imitations, La Sonora Dinamita celebrates charm, persistence and—above all—the irresistible pull of the dance floor. The song’s humor shows that confidence often beats youth or fancy gadgets, while its bouncing rhythm invites listeners to forget the competition and simply move their hips. After all, this tune exists para que lo bailes—so you can dance to it!
