Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Pero suenan, suenan los timbales
Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Tito, Tito suename los timbales

Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Goza, goza, goza con los timbales
Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Pero suenan, suenan los timbales

Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Ah como, como suenan los timbales
Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Tito ponme a gozar con los timbales

Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Ay como suenan, suenan oye negrón los timbales




Ran kan kan kan, kan kan
Tito Puente ponme a gozar sabrosón con tus timbales

The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the driving beat of the timbales create a sense of urgency and excitement, urging the listener to join in the celebration of the music.


The song's lyrics are also noteworthy for their use of "Spanglish," a combination of Spanish and English that is common in Latin communities in the United States. The use of Spanglish reflects the intersection of different cultures and languages that is central to Latin music, as well as the experience of many Latinx people living in the US.
