Paroles [Lyrics]

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
[From Alto Cedro I go to Marcan]

Llego a Cueto, voy para Mayari
[I arrive to Cueto and towards Mayar]

El cario que te tengo [The love I have for you]
No te lo puedo negar [is something I cannot deny]
Se me sale la babita [I drool all over]
Yo no lo puedo evitar [I cannot help it]

Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan [When Chuanita and Chan Chan]
En el mar cernan arena [sifted sand at the beach]
Como sacuda el jibe [As the sieve is shaking]
A Chan Chan le daba pena [Chan Chan is embarassed]

Limpia el camino de paja [Clean the path of straw]
Que yo me quiero sentar [cause I want to sit down]
En aqul tronco que veo [on that tree trunk I see]
Y as no puedo llegar [and that way I'm never going to arrive]
