Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lá, a lá, a láaaaaa...
A los barrios de La Habana y a la sociedad también
A la lá, a la lá, a láaaaaa
Nosotros solo queremos armonizar
Y cantar esos recuerdos de tradición
Y dedicarle a La Habana con muchísima razón
Para que diga la gente...
Belén, Belén, Belén!
Yo sé que tu toca ahora como dijiste ayer!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
Pasamos y saludamos los jóvenes de Belén
A lá, a lá, a láaaaaa...
A los barrios de La Habana y a la sociedad también
A la lá, a la lá, a láaaaaa
Nosotros solo queremos armonizar
Y cantar esos recuerdos de tradición
Y dedicarle a La Habana con muchísima razón
Un saludo colectivo nacido del corazón
Para que diga la gente...
Belén, Belén, Belén!
Yo sé que tú toca ahora como dijiste ayer!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
Para bailar, La Habana
Para gozar, Belén!
