Vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Vamo' a ver como es que bailan los rumberos
Vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Vamo' a ver quien es el bravo con los cueros
Vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Vamo' a ver como repica ese bongó
Vamo' a ver como es que goza un pueblo entero
Cuando en la calle yo le canto un guaguancó
Vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Ay, vamo' a ver como es que bailan los rumberos
Vamo', vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Vamo' a ver quien es el bravo con los cueros
Vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver, vamo' a ver
Vamo' a ver como repica ese bongó
Vamo' a ver como es que goza un pueblo entero
Cuando en la calle celia canta un guaguancó
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Oh, bambarakatunga pa' changó
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Melao melao melao melancó papará papará papará
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Eh, santa bárbara bendita bambarakatunga pa' changó
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Eh, como goza un pueblo entero
Bambarakatunga y guaguancó
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Bambara bambara bambara bambarakatunga y bailo yo
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Bambarakatunga, bambarakatunga, bambarakatunga, bambarakatunga
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga y guaguancó)
Bambara quimbara quimbara bambarakatunga y guaguancó
(ombelé ombelé con bambarakatunga el guaguancó)
(bambarakatunga y guaguancó)...
