Lyrics and translation Celia Cruz - Comparsa Barracon

Comparsa Barracon

Los rumberos llegarán
No se empujen mis nenes
Que la rumba va a derribar
Al viejo cuero oye
Y este año va ganar
La comparsa barracon
Mirá como es de posición
Ya to' el mundo bailar
Listo tú pa' que baile conga
Negro vea como baila el compa'
Que pronto va a salir
Comparsa barracón
Listo tú pa' que baile conga
Negro vea como baila el compa'
Que pronto va a salir
Comparsa barracón
De puros barracones yo quiero bailar
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Eh que mírala comparsa que bonita vá
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Oye con barracones yo quiero bailar
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Hay que mírala comparsa que bonita vá
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Eh mírala la farola como luz de día
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Hay mirá viene ya, vamos a gozar
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)
Eh con los barracones yo quiero bailar
(Él ya viene ya, vamos a gozar)

Comparsa Barracon

The rumba dancers will arrive
Don't push my little ones
This rumba will tear down
Oh, the old skin
And this year, it will win
The Barracon Comparsa
Look how well-positioned it is
Now everyone must dance
Prepare yourself so you can dance the conga
Black One, look how the compa' dances
It's coming out soon
Comparsa Barracon
Prepare yourself so you can dance the conga
Black One, look how the compa' dances
It's coming out soon
Comparsa Barracon
With only Barracon dancers do I want to dance
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Hey, look at the Comparsa, how pretty it is
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Hey, with Barracones dancers do I want to dance
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Wow, look at the Comparsa, how pretty it is
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Hey look at the street lamp, how it shines like daylight
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Look, it is here. Let's enjoy it
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
Hey with Barracones dancers do I want to dance
(It's already here! Let's enjoy it!)
