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

Let them play, play, play

Let the drums play

Hey, don't get desperate and be patient

That everything in life will come

It's not about speed, but endurance

To get what you want

So come on, move, move your hips

Let's enjoy life and what luck brings

So come on, move, shake off your fears

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

And so that better times may come

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

That when they play, the soul and hearts heal

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

So that they bring joy and take away the pain

They take away the pain

Come on, smash the drums

They take away the pain

Hey, don't get desperate, there's no urgency

Let it come when it comes

Life isn't about speed, but intelligence

And I know that you can

So come on, move, move your hips

Let's enjoy life and what luck brings

So come on, move, shake off your fears

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

And so that better times may come

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

That when they play, the soul and hearts heal

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

So that they bring joy and take away the pain

They take away the pain

Come on, smash the drums

They take away the pain

That it bring joy and happiness

That it bring light and prosperity

Peace for my brothers

That it bring healthy children

That it bring love to my land

And once and for all, that the war end

That's why let's all grab the drums

And let it sound! So it carries away the bad

Let it sound! So that they work miracles for us

Let it sound! So that our dear mama

Lasts us more than a hundred years

And let it sound! So that it fills us with love

Let it sound! And heal our mistakes

Let it sound! And take away evil

And so that better times may come

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

That when they play, the soul and hearts heal

Let the drums play, play, play, hey

So that they bring joy and take away the pain

Hey, let the drums play

That when it plays, the soul and hearts heal

Let the drums play, play, play, hey
