Lyrics

Caracoles de colores que en el mar andan nadando
Caracoles de colores que en el mar andan nadando
Se arruman por montón por las olas que van pasando
Se arruman por montón por las olas que van pasando
Y van pasando
Los caracoles
Son de colores
Y van pasando
Lo bailan en Barranquilla, Santa Marta y Cartagena
Lo bailan en Barranquilla, Santa Marta y Cartagena
Lo bailan en la Guajira allá en el cabo de la vela
Lo bailan en la Guajira allá en el cabo de la vela
Allá en el cabo
Los caracoles
Ahí van paseando
Con sus amores
Voy el domingo a la playa voy en busca de un amor
Voy el domingo a la playa voy en busca de un amor
Y me dicen las muchachas ya llegó mi caracol
Y me dicen las muchachas ya llegó mi caracol
Ay caracoles
Hay de colores
Los caracoles
Son de colores
Caracoles de colores que en el mar andan nadando
Se arruman por montón por las olas que van pasando
Y van pasando
Los caracoles
Son de colores
Con sus amores
Ay van pasando
Los caracoles
Y van pasando los caracoles
Y van bailando con sus amores
Los caracoles
Son de colores

Lyrics translation

Colorful snails that swim in the sea
Colorful snails that swim in the sea
They get packed up by the waves that go by
They get packed up by the waves that go by
And they go on
The snails
They're colored.
And they go on
They dance in Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Cartagena
They dance in Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Cartagena
They dance in the Guajira over there at the Cape of the sail
They dance in the Guajira over there at the Cape of the sail
There at the Cape
The snails
There they go for a walk
With their loves
I go Sunday to the beach I go in search of a love
I go Sunday to the beach I go in search of a love
And they tell me the girls already arrived my snail
And they tell me the girls already arrived my snail
Ay caracoles
There are colors
The snails
They're colored.
Colorful snails that swim in the sea
They get packed up by the waves that go by
And they go on
The snails
They're colored.
With their loves
Oh, they're passing by.
The snails
And the snails go by
And they go dancing with their loves
The snails
They're colored.
