Candela

The party is about to start, a drum party
The 'morenada' arrives in abundance
Dancers come out to show their spins
Shake it here, shake it there

Soon the couples, to dance 'candombe'
Come out slowly without rushing
The fire is already lit
Don't go and get burned
The drums are hot
Now it's really going to start

Fire here
Fire there
Don't blow out the candle
Because it might go out
This is going to get heated
In the darkness
It's not about movement
But about authority

'Candombe' belongs to the black people
But everyone enjoys it
