about

From the EP City Stars by Aquino

lyrics

Rumba macumba candombe bambula X4

Canta en la calle
Quemar el monton!
Para Aguanile.
Dar tu corazon.

Viva mas!
Encontras
Tu forma
Y baile mas.x4

See from here
The mountains rising
Clear, clear, clear
with the rhythms
of our ancestors
drumming in our ears.
Telling us
to walk the line,
find our time.
Our spirits
will walk with us
for a lifetime.
Feel the heat!
On our feet!
And dance!
To our tribal beat.

Rumba macumba candombe bambula X4

Let me sing you a songoro
A pretty ditty decima called La Bambula
Or maybe it's quimbara quimbara cumba Quimbamba
Or maybe I'm thinking of ese como-se-llama Cosongoro
A tune as tasty as mofongoro
Rumba macumba candombe
Bambula! X4

Let me clear my throat!

When the world was young
And laughter falling free
Her hands reached out
Like palma giving trees
In those days
Few songs were sung.
But like ripe fruit
Them tunes they hung.
Grown from the ground.
We ate those sounds.
And they nourished us
All around! X4

El corazón es un rio profundo,
es una vena tejida en este mundo
en parentesco con todos los que respiran
las bestias y aves y peces sostienen y inspiran
Que amemos lo digno y lo fecundo!
Defienda nuestra Madre!
Rumba macumba candombe
Bambula! X4

Rumba, macumba, candombe, bámbula! X4

YA!
