Lyrics and translation Oscar D'León - La Mazucamba




La Mazucamba
The Mazucamba
La mazucamba señores
The mazucamba, ladies and gentlemen
Es un baile para el que no tenga amores
Is a dance for those who have no love
Sirve de remedio para todo el llore
Serves as a remedy for all that cry
Y de medicina pa'l que tenga dolores
And medicine for those who are in pain
La mazucamba ay! que rumba
The mazucamba, oh what a rhythm
Tan sobrosa y dulce como aquella matunga
As tasty and sweet as that matunga
Tan alegre y suave como aquella catunga
As cheerful and mellow as that catunga
Aprende a bailarla pa'que no te confundas
Learn to dance it so you won't be confused
La mazucamba mi niña
The mazucamba, my darling
Es sabrosa como el mamoncillo y la piña
Is as tasty as mamoncillo and pineapple
Como el quimbombó y la malanga amarilla
Like okra and yellow malanga
Y se baila en china como en nuestras antillas
And it's danced in China as it is in our Antilles
La mazucamba señores
The mazucamba, gentlemen
Tiene que bailarla con cencerro y tambores
Must be danced with cowbells and drums
Y tener cuidado de que no se enamoren
And be careful not to fall in love
Por que pude hacer sufrir a los corazones
Because it can make hearts suffer
La mazucamba es la rumba
The mazucamba is the rhythm
Que se baila con cencerro y con tambores señores
That is danced with cowbells and drums, gentlemen
La mazucamba es la rumba
The mazucamba is the rhythm
Que se baila con cencerro y con tambores señores
That is danced with cowbells and drums, gentlemen
La mazucamba yo no se que cosa tiene
The mazucamba, I don't know what this thing has
Que cuando empiezo a bailarla mi corazón salta y dice
That when I start to dance, my heart leaps and says
Chiqui chiqui chiqui chi
Chiqui chiqui chiqui chi
Chiqui chiqui chiqui cha

Ay a, ay a, ay a, ay a
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
