La Rumba Me Llamo Yo - Dayme Arocena

Dice mi madre, que el negro está regala’o

Que se me acerca pa' sombra

Y que no los quiere a mi la’o

Que soy hija de la suerte

Que lo mio es natural

Que no reparta mi gloria

Pa que no me quiera mal

Dice mi madre, tu ocha no es babalawo

Pero si fueras un hombre, tambor fueras consagrado

Moyugba Eggun, que no te deja caer

Que va a la guerra contigo para que pueda vencer

Dice mi madre será fina y delgade

Pero la conga contigo, Bailando te pal bembe

Que te regala la risa, y un tumbao que tumba

Y que por eso los muertos, te van a halar pa' la rumba

Soy Iya, soy Bongo, la rumba me llamo yo

La rumba me llamo yo, la rumba me llamo yo

Soy Iya, soy Bongo, la rumba me llamo yo

Soy Iya, soy Bongo, la rumba me llamo yo… (x5)

Imborooooo

Qué es lo que tu quiere' que te den?

Rumba, ven ven

Qué tu quiere hacer?

Qué es lo que tu quiere' que te den?

Rumba, ven ven

Qué es lo que tu quiere' que te den?

Rumba, ven ven

(Dime que tu quieres que te den?)

Qué es lo que tu quiere' que te den?

Rumba, ven ven…

My mother says that the black man is a gift

That comes close to me for shade

And that he doesn't want them by my side

that I am the daughter of luck

that mine is natural

Don't spread my glory

So that he doesn't want me bad

My mother says, your ocha is not a babalawo

But if you were a man, drum you were consecrated

Moyugba Eggun, who does not let you fall

That he goes to war with you so that he can win

My mother says she will be fine and thin

But she conga with you, dancing te pal bembe

That she gives you laughter, and a tumbao that tomb

And that's why the dead are going to pull you to the rumba

I'm Iya, I'm Bongo, my name is rumba

The rumba is my name, the rumba is my name

I'm Iya, I'm Bongo, my name is rumba

I'm Iya, I'm Bongo, my name is rumba… (x5)

Imborooooo

What is it that you want to be given?

Rumba, come come

What do you want to do?

What is it that you want to be given?

Rumba, come come

What is it that you want to be given?

Rumba, come come

(Tell me what do you want them to give you?)

What is it that you want to be given?

Rumba, come come…
