Quiquiribu, mandingoQuiquiribu, mandinga
Quiquiribu, mandingoQuiquiribu, mandinga
There in Havana, beef jerkyAllá en la habana, tasajo
And there in the east, mabingaY allá en oriente, mabinga
I met a cookYo conoci a un cocinero
Who cooked mabingaQue cocinaba mabinga

And crushed the garlicY machacaba los ajos
With the head' the mortarCon la cabeza' el mortero
How Tomasa dancedComo bailaba tomasa
In the neighborhood of the timbaEn el barrio de la timba
