Baile de Los Morenos

Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
The drums already resound with their beating
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba

The black people are getting excited
The candombe has begun
With the well-tuned drums
The heart is very happy
The black man breaks his hips
To the rhythm of the milonga
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba
Tu-cu-tu-cu-tum-bam-ba

Drumming on the drum skins
Dance of the dark-skinned people
That will always live on
As long as the drums
Impress their chas-chas
There are clouds in the sky
Covering the sun
Because Saint Peter is coming
To listen to the drum
The drum skins sound loudly
The rhythm follows
Long live the hope
That they seal while dancing
Dance of the dark-skinned people
Dance of Uruguay
