Paroles et traduction Celia Cruz feat. Willie Colón - Rinkinkalla

Rinkinkalla

Rinkinkalla, rinkinkalla
Rinkinkalla
Pa′ la gente que no sabe
Rinkinkalla
Pero para esta mulata, no hay cuento que valga
Rinkinkalla, rinkinkalla

Yo nací en La Habana Vieja
Me crió la ñia Teresa
Mi padre fue blanco claro,
Mi madre no se quien era
Mi madre no se quien era.

Por eso es que soy morena
Y en la sangre de mis venas
Tengo fuego de pantera,
Mi madre no se quien era
Mi madre no se quien era.

Pero yo sola aprendí, a mí nadie me enseñó
A darle fuego al tambor, a hacer sonar el bongó

Ay, yo nací en La Habana Vieja,
Me crió la ñia Teresa
Mi padre fue blanco claro,
Ay, mi madre no se quien era
Mi madre no se quien era.

Ah la la le ro lo le le lo la la la la la

Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente
Rinki-rinkinkalla, negro que tumba a la gente
Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente
Omanati, manati, manati, manati, manawinba
Ay, negro que tumba a la gente, la gente

Omanati manawinba negro que tumba a la gente
Manawinba, manawinba, manawinba
Ay, negro que tumba a la gente, manawinba!
Omanati manawinba (eh ah), negro que tumba a la gente
Oye! Mi padre fue blanco claro,
Mi madre no se quien era
Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente
(Túmbalo)

Vaya, la gente de La Habana Vieja!

(Música)

Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente
Manawinba, manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente

Y me crió la ñia Teresa

Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente

Negro que tumba a la gente
Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente

(Música)

Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente

Omanati manawinba, negro que tumba a la gente

(Música final)

Rinkinkalla

Rinkinkalla, rinkinkalla
Rinkinkalla
For the people who don't know
Rinkinkalla
But for this mulatta, no story holds water
Rinkinkalla, rinkinkalla

I was born in Old Havana
Ñia Teresa raised me
My father was light-skinned,
I don't know who my mother was
I don't know who my mother was.

That's why I'm dark-skinned
And in the blood of my veins
I have the fire of a panther,
I don't know who my mother was
I don't know who my mother was.

But I learned on my own, nobody taught me
To set fire to the drum, to make the bongo sound

Oh, I was born in Old Havana,
Ñia Teresa raised me
My father was light-skinned,
Oh, I don't know who my mother was
I don't know who my mother was.

Ah la la le ro lo le le lo la la la la la

Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Rinki-rinkinkalla, black man who knocks people down
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Omanati, manati, manati, manati, manawinba
Oh, black man who knocks people down, the people

Omanati manawinba black man who knocks people down
Manawinba, manawinba, manawinba
Oh, black man who knocks people down, manawinba!
Omanati manawinba (eh ah), black man who knocks people down
Hey! My father was light-skinned,
I don't know who my mother was
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
(Knock him down)

Wow, the people of Old Havana!

(Music)

Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Manawinba, manawinba, black man who knocks people down
(Knock him down)
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
That I was born in Old Havana
And Ñia Teresa raised me

Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Rinkinkalla, rinkinkalla
Black man who knocks people down
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down

(Music)

Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
A la la le lo la la la, manawinba,
Black man who knocks people down, the people
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Eh, knock down, knock down, knock down,
Oh, black man who knocks people down

Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
Come dance the Rinkinkalla
It's for the people to enjoy
Omanati manawinba, black man who knocks people down
