Lyrics
Tu que eres de piel morena, de ojos castaos y pelo enredado
tienes la sangre africana, orula es tu guia eres lucumi
tu que conoces el guarapo, que fumas tabaco y tomas caf
tienes grandes sentimientos, respectas al muerto y al vivo tambien.
el que conoce la clave, porque en el barrio nacio
es buen quinto, buen cajon y en el canto se arrebata
por eso dice mulato, el de la clave soy yo!
tumbador, bongosero, timbalero
Lyrics translation
You who are dark-skinned, brown-eyed and tangled hair
you have African blood, orula is your guide you are lucumi
you who know the guarapo, who smoke tobacco and drink coffee
you have great feelings, you respect the dead and the living as well.
the one who knows the key, because in the neighborhood born
it is good fifth, good drawer and in the song snatches
that's why mulato says, I'm the one with the key!
tumbador, bongosero, timbalero
