La Puya Puya
Carlos Vives
The Spike Spike
From the Vallenato airs
the spike is the most skilled
I think I come prepared
to be able to execute it
Although very little is recorded
supposedly because it doesn't sell
but it must be kept in mind
that you have to know how to play it
The damn Vallenato is forgotten
because no one wants to record it anymore
with the spike the festival is cheered
without the spike you can't win
I sing and play the accordion
which is my only inheritance
I love this folklore a lot
which is part of my joy
That's why I keep playing
son, paseo, merengue, and spike
since I'm a good countryman
I play it with flavor
The Vallenato spike is forgotten
because no one wants to record it anymore
with the spike the festival is cheered
Without the spike you can't win
