Who's Knocking?

Caracachumba

Quién Golpea?

Quién golpea? Quién golpea?
Es el candombe
El candombe candombero
Que en los golpes de los cueros
Nos invita a candombear

Es el candombe
Con su mágica armonía
Que nos trae la alegría
Y el tum-tum de su cantar

A usted morenita
Del dulce mirar
Al candombe y al candombe
Que nos hagan los honores
De bailar a su compás

Y a usted la rubita
De dulce mirar
Al candombe y al candombe
Pa’ que mueva la cintura
Como le voy a enseñar

Who's Knocking?

Who's knocking? Who's knocking?
It's the candombe
The candombe candombero
That in the beats of the drums
Invites us to candombear

It's the candombe
With its magical harmony
That brings us joy
And the tum-tum of its singing

To you, sweet dark-skinned girl
With the sweet gaze
To the candombe and the candombe
Let them honor us
By dancing to its rhythm

And to you, the fair-haired one
With the sweet gaze
To the candombe and the candombe
So you can move your waist
As I will teach you
