Madre Rumba
Dimensión Latina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Atencionnnn
La rumba tiene algo

Que invita a guarachar
El chachacha
Que alborota la sangre

Que nadie comprende

Que todo sale de la madre rumba

Si siii

Es lo mejor (3 v)

Cuando la rumba es caliente
Que manera de gozar

Se mueve la cabeza
Se mueve la cintura
Se mueve todo el cuerpo

Y se acaba por bailar

Oye que bueno es la rumba

Pero que buena y que rica
Que esta mi madre rumba

Ay que rica esta
La dimension mama

(Que buena es la rumba)

Rumba rumba rumba
