Timbalero, prepárate
Timbalero, get ready
Timbalero, no pierdas tiempo
Timpani, don't waste time
Pronto llegará el momento
The time will soon come
Que tú puedas vacilar y descargar
That you can hesitate and download
Timbalero, que es lo que pasa
Timbalero, what's happening
Pero que mira, mira, mira timbalero
But he looks, looks, looks timbalero
Por qué estás triste, si ahorita me dijiste
Why are you sad, if you told me right now
Que me iba a poner a gozar y a vacilar
That I was going to enjoy and hesitate
Timbalero, timbalero
Timbalero, timbalero
Que es lo que pasa que estás tan gallego
What happens that you are so Galician
Parece que tú no quieres tocar ni vacilar
It seems that you don't want to touch or hesitate
Timba no va' sonar, cuero no tiene ya
Timba is not going to sound, leather no longer has
Oye la timba no va a sonar
Hey the timba won't sound
Y es porque el cuero no tiene, ya
And it's because leather doesn't have, anymore.
Y oye la conga y el timbal
And hear the conga and timpani
Y la campana, mamá
And the bell, mom
Eh, que vengan timbaleros
Hey, let timpaniards come

Let them come and download
Oye ahora traigo la salsa
Hey now I bring the sauce
Y el saoco viene atrás
