The lyrics of the song "Magdalena Mi Amor" by Dark Latin Groove (DLG) are in Spanish and portray the story of a man who is heartbroken after being abandoned by his lover, Magdalena. The song starts with a chant of "Eee mama ee maa," followed by the sound of African drums, which establish the rhythm of the song. Then, the chorus repeats the words "Kimbara, kimbara, kimbam bam bam" several times, which have no real meaning but add to the sonic effect of the song.
The singer expresses his pain and suffering after being left by his lover, and he feels that life tried to pull him down. He asks Magdalena not to play with his heart, telling her that someday she will have to pay for her actions. Then, DLG's lead singer, Huey Dunbar, joins the song and emphasizes that the band has arrived ("Llegaron Los que faltaron D L G"), and they have something to say. The song's rap section, performed by Sergio George, adds more energy to the song, and the guitar solo by Jorge Bringas takes it to a higher level. In the end, the song comes full circle with the chorus, and the chant of "Kimbara, kimbara, kimbam bam bam" concludes the song.
