La Zamba Del Negro Alegre

The zamba of the happy black man,La zamba del negro Alegre,
who wants to dance it with me?quién me la quiere bailar?
Carnivaling in the air he went with his little handkerchiefCarnavaleando al aire iba con su pañuelito
like a little dove wanting to fly.como una palomita queriendo volar.

Where the spurs, when I'm dancing with her,En donde las espuelas cuando le estoy bailando
keep tapping, crying for a love.me van repiqueteando llorando un querer.
