Lyrics
Coro:
(Pa' que afinquen yo le canto un son
Pa' que afinquen)
Como silencio guardé
Cantarón otros soneros
Librarón lo nueves ceros
Que una vez les dediqué
Ahora comprendo porque
Fallarón en su intención
Ay mira que no cantan de corazón
Y no hay clave que no brinquen
Por eso para que afinquen
Aqui les traigo mi son
Yo no ando buscando guerra
Ni a nadie quiero enseñar
Pero dá fuerza cantar
Que con los pies sobre la tierra
En mi guajira se encierra
La profunda comprensión
Filosófica expresión
Que ni peca ni delinque
El que hierro echa a su afinque
Cantandole un rico son
Coro:
(Pa' que afinquen)
Ahora sí que el fantasma apareció
Oye la rumba que te traigo yo
Para que goces la rumba tú como yo
Para que afinques, para que goces
Que de la siete hasta la doce
Para que afinque, para que baile mi guaguancó
De ahi na' mas, oye lo que digo yo
Vacila tú como yo
La bomba ya se salió
La rumba ya se prendió
Baila tú como lo bailo yo
Para que afinquen en la rumba
Rumbero bueno entra en la clave
Que si no entra, allá afuera te dejo yo
Entra para que afinque en el rumbón
Para que afinque, para que goces
Oye si no vale, no te cuelas
Lyrics translation
Choir:
(Pa ' that tune I sing a son
To fine tune)
How silent I kept
Cantarón other soneros
They rid the nine zeros
That I once dedicated to them
Now I understand why
They failed in their intention
Oh, look, they don't sing from the heart.
And there's no key that doesn't go around
So to fine tune
Here I bring you my son
I'm not looking for war.
I don't want to teach anyone
But it gives strength to sing
That with your feet on the ground
In my guajira is locked
Deep understanding
Philosophical expression
That neither sin nor delict
The one who cast iron to his affinque
Singing him a rich son
Choir:
(Pa' that fine tune)
Now the ghost has appeared
Listen to the rumba I bring you
For you to enjoy the rumba you like me
So that you may grow, so that you may enjoy
That from seven to twelve
For me to tune, for me to dance my guaguancó
From there na ' more, listen to what I say
You waver like me
The bomb's already gone.
The rumba is already on
You dance the way I dance
For them to tune into the rumba
Good Rumbero enters the key
If he doesn't come in, I'll leave you out there.
Get in there and get him down on the rumbon.
So that I may sharpen, so that you may enjoy
Hey, if it's not worth it, don't sneak in.
