Oyeme negrita te suplico
que deseo y necesito
tu candela pa' funcionar.
No navega un barco sin su vela
yo no sirvo sin candela
de la buena para gozar.
Tu candela,
tu candela y mi candela
es la candela.
Dame de la buena pa' gozar
y así todo irá mejor.
Tu candela es la que me hace
siempre perder el control.
Atropeya,
atropeya que este tiempo es la candela.
Salsa de la buena ya verás
con candela pasarás de la noche a la mañana
y ya nunca pararás.
Este es mi secreto y te lo digo
que la clave es la candela que yo llevo en mi corazón.
El sabor que corre por venas
y este ritmo que llena es la magia que tengo yo.
Tu candela,
tu candela y mi candela
es la candela.
Dame de la buena pa' gozar
y así todo irá mejor.
Tu candela es la que me hace
siempre perder el control.
Atropeya,
atropeya que este tiempo es la candela.
Salsa de la buena ya verás
con candela pasarás de la noche a la mañana
y ya nunca pararás.
