Prefiero Mi Gaita

A merengue in the morning
Delicious Dominican
It doesn't make me dance, my brother
Like a Zulian gaita

Like this Zulian gaita

I prefer to sing
My Maracaibo gaita
Tasty, cheerful, and festive
Regional feeling
Because when I listen
To that foreign music
I don't even understand it
You can't compare it

(Iepaa, let's go!)

Some are bothered
By our festive music
And prefer the foreign one
Just to go with the trend

My Maracaibo gaita

Regional feeling
Because when I listen
To that foreign music
I don't even understand it
You can't compare it

It expresses so many things
It's not just revelry
It brings joy to the people
And it's their voice in protest
