Corazón Rumbero
Albita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traigo un corazon de pueblo
Traigo un corazon
Vengo del mar
De monte y sol
Traigo la mezcla oye
Del negro con el español
Con castañuelas adornando
El alma de Shango
Por eso yo
Traigo un corazon
Y hoy soy rumor de un bandonion
Hoy soy la cumbia soy joropo
Soy un guaguanco
Soy el bordón de un guitarron
Hoy soy la plena soy merengue
Soy el rico son son son
Traigo un corazon
Gozalo rumbero
Ay mira negro ven a gozar los cueros
Ven a romper los cueros
Soy del caribe y sin la rumba me muero
La rumba con su sandunga caballero
Gozalo rumbero
El ritmo que te canto chachacha
Te ofrece mil destellos
Corazón sereno corazon de pueblo para ti
Yo no vivir sin el sin chachacha
Gozalo rumbero
Ya la rumba se hizo
