Lyrics
Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba se necesita
Una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita.
Arriba, arriba,
Arriba, arriba, arriba ir?.
Yo no soy marinero, yo no soy marinero,
Por ti ser?, por ti ser?, por ti ser?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
En mi casa me dicen,
En mi casa me dicen: 'El inocente',
Porque tengo muchachas,
Porque tengo muchachas de quince al veinte.
Arriba, arriba,
Arriba, arriba, arriba ir?.
Yo no soy marinero, yo no soy marinero,
Por ti ser?, por ti ser?, por ti ser?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
Para llegar al cielo,
Para llegar al cielo se necesita
Una poca de gracia,
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita.
Arriba, arriba,
Arriba, arriba, arriba ir?.
Yo no soy marinero, yo no soy marinero,
Por ti ser?, por ti ser?, por ti ser?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
Lyrics translation
To dance the bamba,
To dance the bamba you need
A little grace,
A little grace and a little something.
Up, up,
Up, Up, Up Go?.
I'm not a sailor, I'm not a sailor,
Because of you? because of you? because of you?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
In my house they tell me,
In my house they say, 'the innocent',
Because I have girls,
Because I have girls from fifteen to twenty.
Up, up,
Up, Up, Up Go?.
I'm not a sailor, I'm not a sailor,
Because of you? because of you? because of you?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
To reach heaven,
To reach the sky you need
A little grace,
A little grace and a little something.
Up, up,
Up, Up, Up Go?.
I'm not a sailor, I'm not a sailor,
Because of you? because of you? because of you?.
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba,
Ba ba bamba, ba ba bamba.
