Francisco Zapata Y Su Orquesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esta negra se amaña
Al sonar de la caña
Van brindando sus amores
Es la negra Soledad
La que goza mi cumbia
Esa negra salamuña que caramba
Con su pollera colorá.
Vente mi negra a guapachar
Con tu pollera colorá
Como me gustas
Cuando te veo currumbiando
Con tu pollera colorá.
Pallá y pacá, mira que goza Soledad
Con su pollera colorá
Oye mi tierra baila esta cumbia tan sabrosa
Con su pollera colorá.
Ay cuando la canta Soledad
Es que estoy yo contento
Porque con su movimiento
Admiración ella me da.
Tiene color de canela
Con ritmo sabor a pimienta,
Como está de contenta que caramba
Con su pollera colorá.
Por eso le digo vente mi negra ya a gozar,
Con tu pollera colorá.
Que saremuya que va mi negra Soledad
Con su pollera colorá
Y con esta cumbia todo el mundo sale bailando, con su pollera colorá
Vente pacá, contigo yo quiero gozar con tu pollera colorá.
