Текст и перевод песни Héctor Lavoe - Timbalero

Timbalero

Timbalero, prepárate
Timbalero, no pierdas tiempo
Pronto llegará el momento
Que tú puedas vacilar y descargar

Timbalero, ¿qué es lo que pasa?
Pero que mira, mira, mira timbalero
Por qué estás triste, si ahorita me dijiste
Que me iba a poner a gozar y a vacilar

Timbalero, timbalero
Que es lo que pasa que estás tan gallego
Parece que tú no quieres tocar ni vacilar

Timba no va' sonar, cuero no tiene ya
Oye la timba no va a sonar
Y es porque el cuero no tiene, ya

Y oye la conga y el timbal
Y la campana, mamá

Eh, que vengan timbaleros
Que vengan a descargar

Oye ahora traigo la salsa
Y el saoco viene atrás

Eh, la rumba no es como ayer
Nadie la puede igualar

Y me voy pa' Catanga a África

En tren que caben 100
Ay que cabe, que caben 100

En tren que caben 100
50 para'o, 50 de pie

En tren que caben 100
Dice que es lo mismo pero yo no sé

En tren que caben 100
Oiga si hay fuego en el 23

En tren que caben 100
¿Qué caramba le importa a uste'?

En tren que caben 100
Ahorita me voy, me voy Belen

En tren que caben 100
De que caben, caben 100

En tren que caben bien
Oye que caben y caben bien

En tren que caben tres
Ay yo me voy para la luna

En tren que caben tres
Me voy monta'o en un chu-chu tren

En tren que caben 100
Ere' rumbero, rumba buena

En tren que caben 100
Oye chamaco me lleva la morena

(Que paguen la cuenta) que paren la puerta
(Que paren la puerta) Oye Ruperto
(Que paren la puerta) Que paren la puerta
(Que paren la puerta) Y que me paren la puerta

(Que paren la puerta) Oye
(Que paren la puerta) Que mujer mas linda
(Que paren la puerta) pero esta muy gorda
(Que paren la puerta) parece una puerca

(Que paren la puerta) Que paren la puerta
(Que paren la puerta) Y que me paren la puerta
(Que paren la puerta) Mamita la puerta
(Que paren la puerta) Tiene lo suyo
(Que paren la puerta)

Timbalero

Drum maker, get ready
Drum maker, don't waste time
The moment will soon come
When you will be able to party and let loose

Drum maker, what's going on?
But look, look, look, drum maker
Why are you sad, if just now you told me
That you were going to make me enjoy myself and party

Drum maker, drum maker
What's wrong that you're so down
It seems like you don't want to play or party

The drum won't sound, the leather is gone
Listen, the drum won't sound
And it's because the leather is gone

And listen to the conga and the drum
And the bell, baby

Hey, let the drummers come
Let them come and let loose

Listen, now I bring the sauce
And the saoco is coming behind

Hey, the party isn't like yesterday
No one can match it

And I'm going to Catanga in Africa

On a train that holds 100
Oh, it holds, it holds 100

On a train that holds 100
50 sitting, 50 standing

On a train that holds 100
They say it's the same, but I don't know

On a train that holds 100
Hey, if there's a fire on 23

On a train that holds 100
What the hell does it matter to you?

On a train that holds 100
I'm going away now, I'm going to Bethlehem

On a train that holds 100
If it holds, it holds 100

On a train that holds well
Listen, it holds and it holds well

On a train that holds three
Oh, I'm going to the moon

On a train that holds three
I'm going riding on a choo-choo train

On a train that holds 100
You're a rumbero, a good rumba

On a train that holds 100
Listen, kid, the brunette is taking me away

(Let them pay the bill) Stop the door
(Stop the door) Hey, Ruperto
(Stop the door) Stop the door
(Stop the door) And stop the door for me

(Stop the door) Hey
(Stop the door) That woman is so beautiful
(Stop the door) But she's very fat
(Stop the door) She looks like a pig

(Stop the door) Stop the door
(Stop the door) And stop the door for me
(Stop the door) Mamacita, the door
(Stop the door) Has got it going on
(Stop the door)
