La Banda [English translation]

The band came playing salsa

for those who arrived to the party.

Oh, everyone is very happy

because they came to play,

a group of bandits

from the music school.

Now you already see, how the whole world

has been satisfied,

step dancers are dancing

because we are going to enjoy it.

Oh, here come all the dancers

rumberito rumberazos

the band has played well

and now I am going to step dance.

Eh...always forward never backwards

nor to gain momentum

because I come enjoying myself

and ending when it's best.

Now yes, now the band arrives

eh bamba eh bamba eh bamba eh the band arrived

eh I bring my girl and don't do the bamba

ay for the Mazucamba

with a rhythm that's danced

with bells and drums

gentlemen, but the band arrives now

eh band band, here comes the band

Band, band, band, the band is the one that promises good times

because the rumberos, they don't know how to party.
