Lyrics
El cariiao a, ue te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.
Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el 'jibe'
A Chan Chan le daba pena.
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me qriero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar.
De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayari.
Lyrics translation
The cariiao a, I got you
I can't deny it.
I get my babita
I can't help it.
When Juanica and Chan Chan
On the sea cernian sand
How the jibe shook
Chan Chan was sorry.
Clean the road of straw
That I would sit down
In that log I see
And I can't make it.
From high cedar I go to Marcane
Then I go to Cueto for Mayari.
