La Banda

Coro:
Llegó la banda tocando salsa
para que entren en la bachata.
Ay, todos estan bien contentos

de la escuela musical.
Ahora tu ves ya, como todo el mundo

porque vamos a gozar.
Ay vengan todo bailadores

Banda, banda banda banda que es la que manda
Pa que gozen los rumberos esto no es pachanga.

The Band

Chorus:
The band arrived playing salsa
so they can get into the bachata.
Oh, everyone is very happy
because they are going to be played by
a group of little bandits
from the music school.
Now you see, how everyone
has already become happy,
dancers throw steps
because we are going to enjoy.
Oh come all dancers
little party big parties
the band is good now
and now I'm going to the beat.
Hey... always forward never backward
not even to gain momentum camaraderie
because I come enjoying
and ending in the yard.

Now yes, the band has arrived
hey bamba hey bamba hey bamba the band has arrived
hey I bring saoco mommy and I don't dance bamba
oh so that the mazucamba enjoys
with a rhythm that is danced
with cowbell and drums
gentlemen but now that the band has arrived
hey band band chango is coming the band has arrived
Band, band band band that's the one in charge
So that the partygoers enjoy this is not a party.
