Cumbia Is a Female

La Cumbia Es Una Hembra

Cumbia is a female that emerged from the seaLa cumbia es una hembra que salió del mar
Dressed in foam, coral shoesVestida con espuma, zapatos de coral
Cumbia is a female with rhythmic hipsLa cumbia es una hembra de rítmica cadera
Woven in her hair, she carries the entire nightTejida entre su pelo lleva la noche entera

Cumbia, born from a romanceLa cumbia, nació de un romance
The moon is her mother, her father is the weepingLa luna es su madre, su padre es el llanto
Of a beachside black man, who dances his sorrow in the nightDe un negro playero, que baila su pena en la noche

Cumbia, sways in the wavesLa cumbia, se mece en las olas
Of that skirt that ties the black lily to her beltDe aquella pollera que amarra en su cinto la negra azucena
Of a black and joyful raceDe una raza negra y alegre
