One day I been to a festival
Me and me melodious band
They were having bacanal
They were happy to see the calypsonian
One day I been to a festival
Me and me melodious band
They were having bacanal
They were happy to see the calypsonian
Someone is playing the tumba
Someone is singing melodiously
But now they wanted a rumba
And they beg me to bring them my melody
And I'm singing, oye mi rumba, mi rumba, mi rumba
Mi rumba de Cahuita, mi rumba chiquitita
Pero baila la rumba, oye mi rumba
Mi rumba de Cahuita, oye mi rumba
Oye mi rumba
Una morenita tocando la tumba
La otra chiquitita bailando la rumba
Pero, baila la rumba, oye mi rumba
Mi rumba de Cahuita, oye mi rumba
Mi rumba chiquitita, oye mi rumba
El mono y la mona, sentados en la grada
La mona dijo al mono, yo soy tu camarada
Pero baila la rumba, oye mi rumba
Mi rumba de Cahuita, oye mi rumba
Mi rumba chiquitita, oye mi rumba
Pero baila la rumba, rumba de Cahuita
Oye mi rumba, rumba chiquitita
Mi rumba, mi rumba, mi rumba, mi rumba
Rumba de Cahuita
