El Vendaval
El vendaval viene tumbando techo
Ay mi mamita donde me meto
Me tiro al suelo aunque me rompa el cuero
Me tiro al suelo aunque me rompa el cuero
Yo lo que pienso es mi sombrero
Póngase pila que va a comenzar
En barranquilla en carnaval
Como curramba nunca habrá otra igual
Como curramba nunca habrá otra igual
Que viva el Junior y el carnaval
Batalla es flores con la gran parada
Y una morena enmaizenada
Y una morena enmaizenada
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
Yo lo que siento es mi sombrero
Ven pa'ca que vamos a gozar
Ven pa'ca que llego el carnaval
El vendaval viene tumbando casa
Ay mi mamita ay que amenaza
El currambero siempre se va lejos
Y en carnavales vuelve de nuevo
Ester Forero novia es Barranquilla
Venga un abrazo rompe costillas
El Marte' a joselito lo enterramos
Ron y maizena y lo acompañamos
Festival de orquesta y los acordeones
Festival de orquesta y los acordeones
Agua y maizena tiren señores
Agua y maizena echen señores
Ven pa'acá que vamos a gozar
Ven pa'acá que llegó el carnaval
Ven pa'acá que vamos a gozar
Ven pa'acá que llegó el carnaval
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
The Gale
The gale comes knocking down roofs
Oh my goodness where do I go
I throw myself to the ground even if it breaks my skin
I throw myself to the ground even if it breaks my skin
What I care about is my hat
Get ready because it's about to start
In Barranquilla during carnival
Like Curramba, there will never be another like it
Like Curramba, there will never be another like it
Long live Junior and the carnival
Battle of flowers with the grand parade
And a corn-dressed brunette
And a corn-dressed brunette
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
What I feel is my hat
Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived
The gale comes knocking down houses
Oh my goodness, what a threat
The Currambero always goes far
And returns for the carnivals
Ester Forero, Barranquilla's girlfriend
Come for a hug, breaking ribs
On Tuesday we bury Joselito
With rum and cornstarch we accompany him
Festival of orchestras and accordions
Festival of orchestras and accordions
Water and cornstarch, throw it, gentlemen
Water and cornstarch, pour it, gentlemen
Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived
Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
