The Bass Drum (Play the Bass Drum for Me)
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
Let the music play, let the music advance and dance a lot
When I sing
Feel the beat that I bring you
From the Pacific Chocó
You know, you know
When the speaker stops playing the drum that fills me
It burns me and poisons me
The chirimía with the currulao
This is ragga for my people
Who are stirred up
Walking around playing alive
Having sancocho at Pocho's house
I always relax
When this flow sounds
I who was sick now feel better
Above Africa, alive, mine is
My heritage full of joy
Haha... cutupra pra, cutupra
Santería ache elegua abátala
Chorus 2
Play the bass drum, adjust the tambora
Play it for me, adjust it
There's a bunde coming around the corner
I'm not ready and that makes me uneasy
My hands start to move
And my whole body asks for a lot of yenyere
Tell me, guys, how much money do we have to put in
Because this year I'm going with a new cache
You can already feel the pumpum, I'm all stirred up
Because the bass drum sounds and it's not
At dawn
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
If you like the sound I bring, it's because the bass drum sounds
Bass drum
From the side, tight, however
Bass drum
That's how it comes, that's how it goes, how it says
Bass drum
How it goes, how it comes, let the bass drum sound
Bass drum
This music that sounds and is in your blood
Bass drum
Lower the beat a little
And let the bom bom be heard
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
Play the bass drum for me
Play the bass drum for me
Totally play the bass drum
