Lyrics

Te canto un son Borincano
Que viene de monte adentro
Para tener un encuentro
Con el que se sienta hermano.
Te canto un son Borincano
Con su ritmo y alegra
Para que da tras da Tengas la satisfaccin
De escuchar el rico son
Que alegra la patria ma.
Coro:
Te traigo un son Borincano.
El son Borincano que compuse para ti.
Oye mama linda y oyelo Titi.
Son de Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Aprietala, aprietala suavecito
Llevala pal rincn y aprietala.
Aunque tu no quiera yo me voy pal trabajo.
Me voy, me voy, me voy pal trabajo.
Son que viene de la montaa.
Donde el jbarito se baa.
En el ro o en el mar.
Bailalo y mueve la cintura.
Eh! como se mueve mi prieta y que sabrosura.
Si el son la pone a gozar.
Aunque tu no quiera yo me voy pal trabajo.
Me voy, me voy, me voy pal trabajo.
Oye que rico y que bueno es.
Juana lo baila al derecho,
Pepe lo baila al revs.
Pero se ve bien rico el son Borincano.
Aprieta la jeva bien.
Si el son vino de Puerto Rico.

Lyrics translation

I sing you a son Borincano
That comes from inside the mountain
To have a meeting
With the one you sit brother.
I sing you a son Borincano
With its rhythm and cheer
So that day after day you have the satisfaction
Of listening to the rich are
May the motherland rejoice.
Choir:
I'll get you a son Borincano.
The son Borincano I composed for you.
Hey mama linda and listen Titi.
They're from Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Squeeze it, squeeze it gently
Take it to the corner and squeeze it.
Even if you don't want me to go to work.
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to work.
They're from the mountain.
Where the jbarito is baa.
In the ro or at sea.
Dance it and move your waist.
Eh! how my prieta moves and how tasty.
If the son makes her enjoy.
Even if you don't want me to go to work.
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to work.
Hey, how rich and how good he is.
Juana dances it to the right,
Pepe dances it at the revs.
But it looks pretty rich the son Borincano.
Squeeze the jeva tight.
If the son came from Puerto Rico.
