Temba, Tumba, Timba

Hey!
Temba, tumba, timba, tumba, tumbá
Ha!

I'm going to make you a version of the many that have existed
Two women and three husbands were looking for their place
Two women and three husbands were looking for their place

Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
They argued over two loves
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba, like that!

Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
They argued over two loves
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba

That's how it was, a tremendous mess

The little couple from temba, apparently bored
Wanted to change their lives
And there's no one who understands her
She didn't want to dance rumba anymore
And wanted to change her style
Swapping temba for tumba, that's how she changes husbands
Swapping temba for tumba, that's how she changes husbands

Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
They argued over two loves
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba

Repeat it
Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
They argued over two loves
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba

There it is, the commotion started

The partner of tumba, watching what was happening
Without commenting much, didn't want to be the exception
You will give her the reason, knowing she's very pretty
From tumba she went to timba, to change the flavor
From tumba she went to timba, to change the flavor

Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
They argued over two loves
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba

Hey! And the mess was formed and the commotion was formed!
Each one went their own way, gentlemen
Just like in the soap opera

Temba, tumba and timba oh oh
The one from Brazil
They argued over two loves, yes!
The one from temba left with tumba
The one from tumba ran away with timba

That's it! Everyone enjoys what they like
Everything has a different flavor
Temba here, timba there, tumba over there
And no one understands this

Hey!

And now the temba from tumba asks me
That's why she doesn't want to hear timba
Now the temba from tumba asks me,
She only wants guaguanco

And now the temba from tumba asks me
Of course
That's why she doesn't want to hear timba
Van van I'll give you, I'll give you whatever you want now
But don't rush me with the tumbao

And now the temba from tumba asks me
Of course!
That's why she doesn't want to hear timba
Look!
And then the doctor arrived driving a quadrimotor

And now the temba from tumba asks me
I repeat
That's why she doesn't want to hear timba
And then the doctor arrived driving a quadrimotor

And now the temba from tumba asks me
That's why she doesn't want to hear timba

Ha, ha, my mother, she spent the night awake
She spent the night enjoying
And that's why, look what happened

The people who didn't sleep last night
What? Hey! Mercy from God!
I ask for mercy to those lovely people
Who didn't find sleep in bed last night

The people who didn't sleep last night
Hey! Hey! Mercy from God!
They spent the night awake, surely watching the soap opera

The people who didn't sleep last night
And drinking rum willian
Hey! Mercy from God!

From one delight to another, from one party to another

The people who didn't sleep last night
Pay attention
Hey! Mercy from God!

Mambo!
Yes!
What?
Gentlemen, have mercy
Hey! Mercy from God!
That's it
What?
Hey! Mercy from God!
Hey Charlie! Mercy to you
Hey! Mercy from God!
La la la la la la
Sing my people
Sing

Alexi, José, mercy
