Lyrics
Sabrán que hay una rumbera
De figura escultural
Yo la conocí de fiesta
Una party en el Mancla
Es una cosa soberbia
Y sobre lo natural
Como mueve las caderas
Cuando se pone a bailar
Y como yo soy rumbera
Y libre de calcular
Le llamo la contentosa
Y no le estimo rival
Una noche en un teatro
Que mostraba su sandunga
El público le gritaba
Su majestad la rumba
(Su majestad la rumba)
Ay, el público le gritaba
(su majestad la rumba)
Ella no tiene rival
(su majestad la rumba)
Porque sí sabe bailar
(su majestad la rumba)
Esa negrona la zumba
(su majestad la rumba)
Como ella baila la rumba
(su majestad la rumba)
Ella es su majestad la rumba
(su majestad la rumba)
Lyrics translation
They'll know there's a rumble
Of sculptural figure
I met her at a party.
A party at Mancla
It's a superb thing
And about the natural
How you move your hips
When she starts dancing
And as I am rumbera
And free to calculate
I call her the happy one.
And I don't value him as a rival
A night in a theater
Showing his sandunga
The audience shouted at him
His Majesty the rumba
(His Majesty the rumba)
Oh, the audience was yelling at him.
(His Majesty the rumba)
She has no rival
(His Majesty the rumba)
Because he can dance.
(His Majesty the rumba)
That nigga zumba her
(His Majesty the rumba)
As she dances the rumba
(His Majesty the rumba)
She is His Majesty the rumba
(His Majesty the rumba)
