La Negra Tiene Tumbao

The Black Girl Has Swagger

La Negra Tiene Tumbao

That little black girl walking byEsa negrita que va caminando
That little black girl’s got her swaggerEsa negrita tiene su tumbao
And when people see her comingY cuando la gente la va mirando
She dances to the sideElla baila de lao
She’s got it tight, tight, tightVa bien apretao, apretao, apretao

The black girl’s got swaggerLa negra tiene tumbao
She’s got swaggerTiene tumbao
And she doesn’t walk to the sideY no camina de lao
Enjoy it!¡Gózalo!

If you want to go straightSi quieres llegar derecho
You better walk head-onMejor camina de frente
So you don’t trip upPara que no hayan tropiezos
And have people feeling sorry for youY vengan y te lamenten

The black girl’s got swaggerLa negra tiene tumbao

What’s up with the black girl?¿Que tiene la negra?

When people dieCuando la gente se muere
They say she was so goodSe dice que era tan buena
So good while she livedTan buena cuando vivía
Like night and day, you knowComo la noche y el día, oye

I want them to tell me the truthQue a mí me vengan a decir la verdad
I can’t take any more liesNo aguanto ya más mentiras
I enjoy life to the fullestDisfruto bien de la vida
Even while being carefulAunque tomando medidas
