Lyrics
Calabó y bambú. Bambú y calabó
El gran Cocoroco dice: «tu-cu.tu»
La gran Corocora dice: «to-co-to»
Es el sol de hierro que arde en Tombuctú
Es la danza negra de Fernando Poo.
El cerdo en el fango gruñe :"pru-pru-pru"
El sapo en la charca sueña: «cro-cro cro»
Calabó y bambú. Bambú y calabó
Rompen los junjunes en la furiosa ú
Los Gongos trepidan con profunda ó
Es la raza negra que ondulando va En el ritmo gordo de mariyandá.
Llegan los botucos a la fiesta ya Danza que te danza, la negra se da Calabó y bambú
El gran Cocoroco dice: «tu-cu-tu»
La gran Cocoroca dice: «to-co-to»
Pasan tierras rojas islas de betún:
Haití, Martinica, Congo, Camerún,
Las papiamentosas Antillas del ron
Y las patualesas islas del volcán
Que en el grave son del canto se dan
Calabó y bambú, Bambú y calabó
Es el sol de hierro que arde en Tombuctú
Es la danza negra de Fernando Poo
El cerdo en el fango gruñe :"pru-pru-pru"
El sapo en la charca sueña: «cro-cro cro»
Calabó y bambú
Bambú y calabó.
Lyrics translation
Pumpkin and bamboo. Bamboo and gourd
The Great Cocoroco says, " tu-cu.your»
The great Corochor says, " to-co-to»
It is the Iron Sun that burns in Timbuktu
It's Fernando Poo's Black Dance.
The pig in the mud growls: "pru-pru-pru"
The frog in the pond dreams: "cro-cro cro»
Pumpkin and bamboo. Bamboo and gourd
They break the junjunes in the Furious U
Gongs shake with deep or
It is the black race that undulating goes in the fat rhythm of mariyanda.
The botucos arrive at the party and Dance You Dance, The Black gives gourd and bamboo
The Great Cocoroco says, " tu-cu-tu»
The Great Cocoroca says, " to-co-to»
They pass red lands BitUN Islands:
Haiti, Martinique, Congo, Cameroon,
The papiamentous Antilles of rum
And the patualesas islands of the volcano
That in the grave are of singing are given
Pumpkin and bamboo, bamboo and pumpkin
It is the Iron Sun that burns in Timbuktu
It's Fernando Poo's Black Dance
The pig in the mud growls: "pru-pru-pru"
The frog in the pond dreams: "cro-cro cro»
Pumpkin and bamboo
Bamboo and pumpkin.
