El que toca nunca baila

He who plays never dances

El que toca nunca baila

Under the sky in the tentsBajo el cielo en las carpas
My accordion wants to danceMi fuelle quiere bailar
The wrinkles stretch outSe le estiran las arrugas
I can't hold itNo lo puedo sujetar
The wrinkles stretch outSe les estiran las arrugas
I can't hold itNo lo puedo sujetar

When he starts to danceCuando se pone a bailar
In the middle of the downpourEn medio del aguacero
He raises a dust stormLevanta un polvaderal

That accordion from AñiachuriEse fuelle de Añiachuri
Went to the carnivalSe marcho pal' carnaval
If they ask for another cuecaSi le piden otra cueca
He doesn't want to button anymoreYa no quiere botonear
If they ask for another cuecaSi le piden otra cueca
He doesn't want to button anymoreYa no quiere botonear

The opa Batata dreamsEl opa Batata sueña
That this zamba will danceQue esta zamba bailará
When he wakes up from his dreamCuando despierte su sueño
He will see that it's just a drumVerá que es bombo nomás
