El Cante
Carlos Vives
The Singing
For the years of the house, time I won't forget
I remember that on the terrace, there was always a party
Gabriel plays the guitar, Guillo already lit up the party
Gustavo plays the drums with a tin of cookies
And I'm just checking it out like I don't want to see
And the rhythm of those drums calling me to sing
(sing), This is a splurge
(sing), lots of revelers
(sing), the three clarinets
(sing), and the four parties
(sing), milk ice cream
(sing), Cumbia from Ciénaga
(sing), sing the piragua from Banco, Magdalena
I remember the good times, let those drums ring
And let's have a party also for those who have passed away
Let them come from everywhere with children and the elderly
Let them know about my land what they never knew
It's time to play, play, the bottle is singing
And the tap, tap, from Garrucha and Colon
(sing), The fandango is lit
(sing), Josefa Matias
(sing), Candelaria left when I loved her the most
(sing), the Tayrona Indian
(sing), Maria Varilla
(sing), sing Joselito my people from Barranquilla
Pita Marimonda, dance big heads
People don't know who the capuchins are
(sing), sing vallenato
(sing), of son and stroll
(sing), and those merengues
(sing), that I don't see anymore
(sing), song from the hill
(sing), sabanero porro
And up old cow because here comes the black bull
