Y aprendí a bailar muy bonito
Con discos que puso mi papi
De cuando el era un jovencito
Y mas o menos, esto aprendi
Cuando mi papi bailo asi.
Vamos a cantar hey!
Vamos a gozar este ritmo a todo dar
Rock and roll
Uh uh uh

Vamos a bailar rock and roll
Un paso adelante otro hacia atras
Alza bien los brazos y te pones a bailar
Rock and roll
Uh uh uh

Vamos a bailar rock and roll
Y así cantando y bailando
Yo quisiera seguir disfrutando
De las cosas que cuentan mis padres
De cuando era la moda este baile
Y mas o menos esto aprendí
Cuando mi papi bailo así.
Vamos a cantar hey!
Vamos a bailar hey!
Vamos a gozar este ritmo a todo dar

¡Rock and roll!
The lyrics of Ivette Y Monique’s song “Rock And Roll” narrate the singer’s experience of learning to dance rock and roll at a party in her house, with her father’s help. She sings about the joy of dancing to the sound of her father’s old vinyl records from his youth, and expresses her desire to keep learning about this type of music and dance from her parents. The chorus invites listeners to join in and sing, dance, and enjoy the rhythm of rock and roll.
Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the basic steps of rock and roll dancing, which involve moving one foot forward and one foot back, lifting one’s arms up, and swinging to the beat of the music. The lyrics create a sense of nostalgia and excitement for this genre of music, which was popular in the 1950s and 1960s and has continued to inspire new generations of musicians and dancers.
The lyrics of “Rock And Roll” reflect the theme of intergenerational transmission, as the singer learns about rock and roll from her father and seeks to preserve this cultural tradition. The song celebrates the connection between family, music, and dance, and encourages listeners to appreciate and embrace the joy of rock and roll.
