lyrics

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia, par mi par ti, arriba, arriba!
Arriba arriba, por ti seré
Por ti seré, por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán,
Soy capitán, soy capitán

You wanna dance the bamba?
You wanna dance the bamba?
Well first you need a graceful girl
A graceful girl from me, for you, go and give her a whirl
A whirl and a dirl, she will be for you
Oh yes my friend she is for you.

I am not just a sailor
I am not just a sailor; A captain I
A captain, I, A captain, I

You gotta dance the bamba!
Come on and do the bamba!
Your graceful girl on the merry-go-mound.
On the merry-go-round you ride with her
Go around and around.
