Bailaores
Ojos de Brujo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yo quiero que ahora bailen con esta rica rumbita
Tiene salsa, y no pica
solo tienes que bailarla para gozar mi rumbita.
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
las que sudan en la pista
las que gozan con mi rumba y la bailan con buen compás.
A tí, a tí, a tí
que rompes los zapatos cuando oyes la rumba
Ay! a tí, pa tí, pa tí
toma! con los Amaya a gozar
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
Porque tú lo vales rumbero...
Latiendo están corazones de rumberos y rumberas
la timba sigue aunque suba la portera
que desalojen o que venga la madera
belleza sobra y hay que celebrar más.
Toca las palmas cuando suene esta guitarra
ventiladores suenan por toas las ventanas
revolucionan en el metro, en la casa
en el patio del colegio y en la barra del "Bass"
sobrevolando el barrio peleando rumba.
Este es el ritmo callejero que te tumba rumbero
Porque tú lo vales rumbero!
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
Como mi ritmo no hay dos
