Lyrics

No tendría mucho pa' contar
Si no fuera porque el tiempo
Se tomó un respiro pa' bailar
Aquí en el Salón Moderno;
Hay sabor de mambo y de bayón
Regado con lastre y garrafón
Y hay una mujer madura
Que luce medias con costura
Mira un Caribe pintado en la pared
Con olas imposibles
Y un sol color butano reventón
Que amenaza salirse;
Y ella sabe que a base de ron
También va a salir ese hombretón
A estrecharle la cintura
Para que se sienta segura
Y qué sorpresa
Por malo que sea el ron
Él siempre la besa
Y desde entonces
Por malo que sea el ron
Bailan cada noche
Una vez, que se sepa
Le ocurrió que no tuvo bastante
Con tragar todo el falso Bacardí
Que había en el estante
Y cansada de esperarlo a é
El Caribe se hizo de papel
Voló como una sombrilla
A estrellarse contra la orilla
Y qué sorpresa
Ella vuelve del desmayo
Cuando él la besa
Y desde entonces
Por malo que sea el ron
Bailan cada noche

Lyrics translation

I wouldn't have much to tell
If it weren't for the weather
He took a breath to dance
Here in the Modern Living Room;
There is a taste of Mambo and Bayon
Watered with ballast and garrafon
And there's a mature woman
Wearing stockings with stitching
Look at a Caribbean painted on the wall
With impossible waves
And a burst butane Sun
That threatens to get away;
And she knows that based on rum
That big man's coming out too.
To tighten her belt
To make you feel safe
And what a surprise
No matter how bad the rum is
He always kisses her
And since then
No matter how bad the rum is
They dance every night
Once, let it be known
It occurred to him that he did not have enough
With swallowing all the false Bacardi
That was on the shelf
And tired of waiting for him
The Caribbean was made of paper
Flew like an umbrella
To crash into the shore
And what a surprise
She comes back from fainting
When he kisses her
And since then
No matter how bad the rum is
They dance every night
