Yo soy la más cumbanchera del solar
La negra más linda que nació
En la habana en el barrio 'e belén
Yo, yo soy la que llega al baile
Y al bailar con mi cinturita de panqué
Arrastro a los hombres más guapos
Y valientes de la población
Yo tengo salsa y pimienta
En mi atómica cintura
Y cuando bailo la rumba
Que yo le imprimo sabrosura, sí señor!
Porque yo soy la más cumbanchera en belén
Por mi cinturita,
Los hombres se vuelven locos por mí,
Por mi cinturita
(por tu cinturita)
Pero yo soy la más cumbanchera en belén
(por tu cinturita)
Oye, los hombres se vuelven locos por mí
(por tu cinturita)
Es que yo tengo salsa y pimienta en mi andar
(por tu cinturita)
Oye, belén, mari belén, mari belén que me muero
(por tu cinturita)
A mí me dicen la guarachera de cuba
(por tu cinturita)
Ay, belén, mari belén, mari belén que me muero
(por tu cinturita)
Belén, belén, belén, belén, belén, belén...
