Lyrics

En el barrio La Cachimba se ha formado la corredera
Allá fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas
Allí fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas
Ay mama, ¿qué pasó? ¡Ay, mamá! ¿qué pasó?
Al cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela
Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela
¡Que llamen a Ibrahim Ferrer, que busquen a los bomberos!
Que yo creo que Tula lo que quiere es que le apaguen el fuego
Ay, por ahí viene Eliades, en tremenda corredera
Viene a observar el cuarto de Tula que ha cogido candela
Carlos y Marcos están mirando este fuego
Si ahora no se apaga, se apaga luego, candela
Puntillita, ve y busca a Marco', pa' que busque al Sierra Maestra
Que vengan para acá rapido que la Tula, mira cogió candela
Hey, Marcos, coge pronto el cubito y no te quedes allá fuera
Llénalo de agua y ven a apagar el cuarto de Tula, que ha cogido candela
Tula está encendida ¡Llama a los bomberos!
Tú eres candela ¡afina los cueros!
(dicho)
Candela, muchacho
Se volvió loco, Barbarito, ¡Hay que ingresarlo!

Lyrics translation

In the neighborhood La Cachimba has been formed the corridor
There went the firemen with their bells, their sirens
There were the firemen with their bells, their sirens
Oh, mama, what happened? Oh, Mom! what happened?
In Tula's room, he took a candle
She fell asleep and didn't put out the candle
Call Ibrahim Ferrer, get the firemen!
That I think Tula what he wants is to put out the fire
Oh, Here Comes Eliades, on a tremendous slide
He comes to observe Tula's room that candela has taken
Carlos and Mark are watching this fire
If it doesn't turn off now, it turns off later, candela
Puntillita, go and look for Marco', pa ' to look for the Sierra Maestra
Let them come here fast as the Tula, look took candela
Hey, Marcos, grab the bucket soon and don't stay out there
Fill it with water and come extinguish the room of Tula, who has caught candela
Tula's on. call the fire department!
You're candela. sharpen the skins!
(say)
Candle, boy
He's gone mad, Barbarito, we have to get him in!
