Lyrics

Esto no es balada, esto no es rock
Esto es Salsa, Son y Rumba
Esto no es ensaladita Light
Arroz con habichuela y vianda es lo que hay
Esto no es lo que tu piensas
No te vayas a tirar
Si no aprendiste a conciencia
La clave te va a tumbar
Esto tiene su truquito
Esto no es llegué y pegué
Esto lleva sus añitos (Rafael!)
Pa tocarse como es Esto no es la A y la B Esto llega hasta la Z Esto no es mamá, papá y nené
Esta es la lección completa
Esto no viene en los libros
No se enseña en la academia
Esto es poquito a poquito
Luego el esfuerzo se premia
Cuatro décadas Gran Combo en la cocina
Cocinando Salsa para la gente latina
No, no es ensaladita Light de dieta
Pregúntale a Juan José que trajo la receta
Es la cadencia del Son de Cuba elegante
Y el Swing de Nueva York siempre pa adelante
Sabor, sabor, sabor de la vieja escuela
Salsa caribeña, rumba, plena
No se aprende ni en la academia más fina
En la calle, calle, calle, rumbón de esquina
Traigo melao, que rico que sabroso el tumbao
Lo que hay, esto es lo que hay

Lyrics translation

This is not ballad, This is not rock
This is Salsa, Son and Rumba
This is not light salad
Rice with beans and meat is what there is
This is not what you think
Don't go fuck yourself.
If you didn't learn conscientiously
The key will knock you down
This has its little trick
This isn't come and go.
This takes its years (Rafael!)
Pa touch each other as it is this is not the A and the B this goes up to the Z This is not Mom, Dad and Nene
This is the whole lesson
This doesn't come in the books.
It is not taught in the Academy
This is little by little
Then the effort is rewarded
Four decades great Combo in the kitchen
Cooking Salsa for Latin people
No, it's not diet light salad.
Ask Juan Jose who brought the recipe
It is the cadence of the elegant Cuban sound
And The New York swing always PA ahead
Flavor, flavor, flavor of the old school
Caribbean Salsa, rumba, plena
You don't even learn in the finest Academy
On the street, Street, street, corner
I bring melao, how rich that tasty the tumbao
What there is, this is what there is
