La Bomba Soy Yo

I Am the Bomb

La Bomba Soy Yo

I know that you are an apprentice of everythingYo sé que tú eres aprendiz de todo
I know you are not the owner of anythingYa sé que no eres titular de nada
That you have discussed many topicsQue has discutido sobre muchos temas
But my partner, you didn't win anyPero mi socio ninguno ganabas
Because you know nothing about paintingPorque no sabes nada de pintura
And you don't know anything about soccerY no conoces nada de fútbol
And even less about literatureY mucho menos de literatura
Why pretendPa' que te haces

If they are talking about photographySi están hablando de fotografía
Medicine or carpentryDe medicina o de carpintería
And if the subject is musicY si de música se trata el tema
You discuss it without any shameTú lo discutes sin ninguna pena
If merengue is not DominicanQue si el merengue no es dominicano
If salsa is not Cuban musicQue si la salsa no es la música Cubana
If Frank Sinatra is not North AmericanQue si Frank Sinatra es Norte Americano
Why pretendPa' que te haces

Of everything, what amazes me the most, PanchoDe todo pancho, lo que más me asombra
Is that you lack what a good Cuban hasEs que te falta lo que a un buen Cubano
Because in music you don't have the bombPorque en la música no tienes bomba
And in sports, you're lostY en el deporte te vas de la mano
Because you know nothing about baseballPorque no sabes nada de pelota
And you've never been to a bembeY no has estado nunca en un bembe
And you don't know Manuel MendiveY no conoces a Manuel Mendive
So whatEntonces que

Come on Mayito, give a little of your bombAnda Mayito, de tu bomba dale un poquito

Hey, hey for those who knowAe, ae para los que saben
Hey, I bring my claveAe, yo traigo mi clave
