Historia de Una Rumba
Siento algo que me llama, me llama, me llama
No puedo dormir
Es algo que me intranquiliza, que me vuelve loca
Me tengo que ir
Y en el silencio de la noche
Siento los cueros repicar
Y esa es la rumba que me llama
Porque yo tengo que ir a güarachar
Y son los cueros que me avisan
Que se formó tremenda rumba en el solar
Después me puse unas chancletas
Un paño rojo en la cintura
Y cuando llegué a la esquina
Señores que sabrosura
Y cuando llegué a la fiesta
Me sudaba la cintura
Pero yo tengo que ir a vacilar
La, la, la
Es que yo tengo que ir a güarachar
Canté y bailé hasta la mañana
Después me puse a vacilar
Y cuando llegué a mi casa
El negro, me dio con la palangana
Y cuando llegué a la casa
Me dio con la palangana
Pero yo tengo que ir a güarachar
Ah, la, la
Es que yo tengo que ir a vacilar
Corrí y corrí para la calle
Pa' que este negro no me viera
Y cuando llegué a la esquina
Pasaba la jardinera
Y cuando llegué a la esquina
Pasaba la jardinera
Ah!
Jardinera yo soy ay jardinera yo soy
(Jardinera tu vas a güarachar)
Jardinera yo soy pa' la conga me voy
(Jardinera tu vas a güarachar)
Me voy, me voy yo me voy
Yo me voy a gozar otra vez
(Jardinera tu vas a güarachar)
Jardinera yo soy, yo soy
Jardinera yo soy, yo soy
Me puse la bata, agarré mi pañuelo
Y me fuí pa' la calle porque
(Jardinera tu vas a güarachar)
Ay si viene ese negro caramba
Le dice que esta negrita se fue otra vez
(Jardinera tu vas a güarachar)
Ay yo voy a güarachar, yo voy a gozar, yo voy a bailar
Que trae la comparte otra vez
¡Como!
Me voy detrás de la jardinera, la cebollera, la jornalera
De todo el mundo
¡Como!
(Tu vas a güarachar)
Tu vienes conmigo por Dios no te quede' aquí
(Tu vas a güarachar)
Y si viene ese negro no le digas que me fuí
(Tu vas a güarachar)
A güarachar, a gozar, yo me voy de aquí
(Tu vas a güarachar)
¡Oye vámono' todo mundo detrás de la jardinera ok!
Story of a Rumba
I feel something calling me, calling me, calling me
I can't sleep
It's something that unsettles me, drives me crazy
I have to go
And in the silence of the night
I feel the drums playing
And that's the rumba calling me
Because I have to go to party
And it's the drums warning me
That a huge party formed in the neighborhood
Then I put on some flip-flops
A red cloth around my waist
And when I got to the corner
Oh, what a delight
And when I got to the party
My waist was sweating
But I have to go have fun
La, la, la
I just have to go party
I sang and danced until the morning
Then I started to have fun
And when I got home
The man hit me with the basin
And when I got home
He hit me with the basin
But I have to go party
Ah, la, la
I just have to go have fun
I ran and ran to the street
So this man wouldn't see me
And when I got to the corner
The bus was passing by
And when I got to the corner
The bus was passing by
Ah!
Bus driver, I am, oh bus driver, I am
(Bus driver, you're going to party)
Bus driver, I am, to the conga I go
(Bus driver, you're going to party)
I go, I go, I'm going
I'm going to enjoy myself once again
(Bus driver, you're going to party)
Bus driver, I am, I am
Bus driver, I am, I am
I put on my robe, grabbed my handkerchief
And went to the street because
(Bus driver, you're going to party)
Oh, if that man comes, damn
Tell him this little black girl left again
(Bus driver, you're going to party)
Oh, I'm going to party, I'm going to enjoy, I'm going to dance
What brings the party again
How!
I'm going behind the bus driver, the onion seller, the laborer
From everyone
How!
(You're going to party)
You come with me, for God's sake don't stay here
(You're going to party)
And if that man comes, don't tell him I left
(You're going to party)
To party, to enjoy, I'm leaving from here
(You're going to party)
Hey, let's all go behind the bus driver, ok!
