Song title: La Bamba
La Bamba
Bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba
Para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia, y otra cosita
Arriba arriba
Y arriba arriba, arriba ire porti sere, porti sere
Bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba, bama
Let's dance with the music
Let's dance with the music
When we dance we sing a song
We sing a song of thanks
And clap our hands and we go
Faster and faster, higher and higher
Louder and louder
Bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba
Para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia, y otra cosita
Arriba arriba
Y arriba arriba, arriba ire porti sere, porti sere
Bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba
bamba la bamba bamba! Notes:
