Aqui estamos saludando
A los grandes bailaderos de la juventud
Las parejas tiran paso
Con la gracia y belleza y estilo
Que le saben dar
Y las horas se pasan felices
De las bandas que tocan la cumbia
La salsa na ma y no importa que el
Mundo camine palante y pa tras
Lo que falta en esta vida es rumba para matizar
Sacudelo pa ya
Ha la hermano venga y mire
Vamonos pal bailadero que esta por alla
Nos buscamos las muchachas
Con unos tragos de aguardiente vamos a gozar
Y las horas se pasan felices bailando el compas
De las bandas que tocan la cumbia y la salsa na ma
Y no importa que el mundo camine palante y pa tras
Lo que falta en esta vida es rumba para matizar
Que lindo
Hay
Sueltela
Bueno compay
Eh eh
Eh eh
Eh eh
Eh eh
Juegale
Pero que lastima
