Noche de carnaval
solo se siente alegria
y noche de carnaval
con aguardiente y sangria
y noche de carnaval
nadie se va pa la casa
y noche de carnaval
porque esto nunca se acaba

y ole, ole.. olele y ole ole, olele-oleylo (bis)

Mira

siempre
que miro tus ojos

que noche de fiesta
yo voy
hasta que amanesca

y todo el mundo viene a bailar
poreso nadie se sienta
y esta rumbra nunca va a terminar
son tres semanas de fiesta
y llamen a mi casa y digan
que no me esperen despiertos
la pachanga siempre va a continuar
es como un cuento eterno

Noche de carnaval
solo se siente alegria
y noche de carnaval
con aguardiente y sangria
y noche de carnaval
nadie se va pa la casa (bis)
y noche de carnaval
porque esto nunca se acaba

con aguardiente y sangria...
porque esto nunca se acaba...

Mira
