Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Detelengao (El Baile) by Los Hermanos Rosario from Spanish to English.
Aquí yo traigo un ritmo con mi merengue
Here I bring a rhythm with my merengue
Pa' los que bailan malo, qué mal se siente
For those who dance badly, how bad it feels
Los de los dos pies zurdos bailando apretaíto
Those with two left feet dancing tight
¿Por qué no lo' brincaron cuando chiquito'?
Why didn't they jump him when he was little?
Pa' la que va a la fiesta y no puede gozar
For those who go to the party and cannot enjoy
Porque no hay un cristiano que la invite a bailar
Because there is no Christian who invites her to dance
Pa' los que van bailando muy acaramelao'
For those who are dancing very sweet
Pero botan el ritmo, van bailando cruzao'
But they beat the rhythm, they dance crosswise'
Baílelo despacito, rápido como quiera
Dance it slowly, fast as you want
Que usted no es bailarín, esto es una gozadera
You are not a dancer, this is a joy
(Y baílelo de frente)
(And dance it straight)
(Y baílelo de lao')
(And dance it lao')
(Y baílelo derecho)
(And dance it straight)
No te lleves de la gente que aunque tú bailes cruzao'
Don't take advantage of people who, even if you dance, cross
Tú también tienes derecho, no te me quedes sentao'
You also have the right, don't sit me down'
La gente siempre critica, la gente siempre está hablando
People are always criticizing, people are always talking
Y tú ves que van a la fiesta y se la pasan murmurando
And you see that they go to the party and they spend the time murmuring
(El baile que está pegao')
(The dance that is catchy')
(Todo el mundo detelengao)

Báilalo como sea
dance it anyway
No te lleve' de la gente que aunque tú baile' cruzao'
Don't take you away from people who, even if you dance, 'cross'
Tú también tienes derecho, no te me quedes sentao'
You also have the right, don't sit me down'
En el medio de la pista un accidente pasó
In the middle of the track an accident happened
Pues chocaron dos zapato' y má' la' pata murió
Well, two shoes collided and the leg died

Un viejito que bailaba con su vieja a media luz
An old man who danced with his old woman in the half light
El viejo pisó la vieja y tremendo revolú
The old man stepped on the old and tremendous revolution
(Es el baile que está pegao')
