Pa que tu la bailes como baila yo
Muchacha bonita mi linda cachita
La rumba Caliente es major son
Mira que se rompen ya de gusto las maracas
Y el del timbales ya se viene alborotar
Se divierte asi el frances, y tambien al aleman
Y se alegra el irlandes y haste el musulman
Y es pa que se vuelva loco hasta un japones
Cachita está albtaa, cachita está alborotaa
Haste ahora a lor
"Cachita" by Orquesta Aragón is a song about a woman named Cachita who loves to dance the rumba. The singer tells Cachita that he has a new rumba for her to dance, hoping that she can match his own skills. He praises Cachita's beauty and endears her as "My pretty Cachita." He explains that the Caliente Rumba is a better son and as the music starts to play, the sound of maracas and timbales get everyone excited. The French, the Germans, the Irish, and even the Muslims enjoy the music and dance to it. The Englishman also joins in, and even the Japanese go crazy over it. The chorus then repeats the words "Cachita está alborotaa," which means that Cachita is excited and cannot wait to dance.
The song emphasizes the power of music to connect people across different cultures, races, and backgrounds. The singer tells us that no matter where people come from, they all enjoy the same music and dance together. The song is happy, upbeat, and lively, highlighting the energy and excitement that comes with dancing rumba. Orquesta Aragón was a Cuban charanga orchestra formed in 1939 in Cienfuegos, Cuba, and was a popular group through the 1950s and '60s, making this song an iconic contribution to Latin music.
