Baile de Los Morenos
Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Los tamboriles ya rezongan con su repicar
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Ya los negros se alborotan
El candombe comenzó
Con las lonjas bientempladas
Muy alegre el corazón
Quiebra el negro las caderas
Al compás del milongón
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Repiquetear sobre las lonjas del tambor
Baile de los morenos
Que siempre vivirá
Mientras los tamboriles
Impriman su chas-chas
Nubes hay en el cielo
Que van cubriendo el sol
Porque viene San Pedro
A escuchar el tambor
Suenan fuerte las lonjas
Va seguido el compás
Que viva la esperanza
Que sellan al bailar
Baile de los morenos
Baile del Uruguay
Dance of the Dark-skinned People
Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
The drums already resound with their beating
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
The black people are getting excited
The candombe has begun
With the well-tuned drums
The heart is very happy
The black man breaks his hips
To the rhythm of the milonga
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Drumming on the drum skins
Dance of the dark-skinned people
That will always live on
As long as the drums
Impress their chas-chas
There are clouds in the sky
Covering the sun
Because Saint Peter is coming
To listen to the drum
The drum skins sound loudly
The rhythm follows
Long live the hope
That they seal while dancing
Dance of the dark-skinned people
Dance of Uruguay
