Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Suenen Los Tambores by Victor Manuelle from Spanish to English.

Let them sound, sound, sound

Let the drums sound

Oh, don't despair and have patience

That everything in life comes

It's not about speed, but resistance

To achieve what you want

So move, move your hips

Let's enjoy life and whatever luck brings

So come on, move, shake off the fears

Don't complain so much and don't cry to me

And for better times to come

Let the drums sound, hey

So when they sound, they heal the soul and hearts

Let the drums sound, hey

To bring joy and take away the pains

Take away the pains

Go ahead, break the drums

Take away the pains

Oh, don't despair, there's no urgency

Let it come when it comes

Life is not about speed, but intelligence

And I know you can do it

So move, move your hips

Let's enjoy life and whatever luck brings

So come on, move, shake off the fears

Don't complain so much and don't cry to me

And for better times to come

Let the drums sound, hey

So when they sound, they heal the soul and hearts

Let the drums sound, hey

To bring joy and take away the pains

Take away the pains

Go ahead, break the drums

Take away the pains

Let it bring joy and happiness

Let it bring light and prosperity

Peace for my brothers

Let it bring healthy children

Let it bring love to my land

And once and for all, let the war end

So let's all grab the drums

And let it sound! To take away the bad

Let it sound! To perform miracles for us

Let it sound! So our dear mother

Lasts more than a hundred years

And let it sound! To fill us with love

Let it sound! And heal our mistakes

Let it sound! And take away the evil

And for better times to come

Let the drums sound, hey

So when they sound, they heal the soul and hearts

Let the drums sound, hey

To bring joy and take away the pains

Oh, let the drums sound

So when they sound, they heal the soul and hearts

Let the drums sound, hey

SONG MEANING

Feel the first boom of the conga and you’ll know what this song is about. In “Que Suenen Los Tambores,” Puerto Rican-American salsa star Víctor Manuelle turns the sound of drums into an instant mood-lifter. He reminds us that life isn’t a sprint but a dance of patience and perseverance: “It’s not about speed, but endurance.” While the rhythm asks your hips to move, the lyrics coach your mind to stay calm, shake off fear, and stop complaining.

The drums are more than instruments – they’re a call for collective healing. Every beat is wished to “cure the soul,” carry away pain, and usher in brighter days filled with joy, peace, prosperity, and love. By the final chorus, Manuelle invites everyone to grab a drum and play for miracles: healthy children, long-lived mothers, an end to war. In short, this vibrant salsa anthem is a rhythmic pep-talk that turns positive thinking into a party you can’t resist joining.
