Candela

Ay candela, candela, candela me quemo así.
Ay candela, candela, candela me quemo aé.
Puso un baile un jutía, para una gran diversión.
De timbalero un ratón, que alegraba el
campo un día.
Un gato también venía, elegante y placentero,
Buenas noches, compañero
siempre dijo así el timbal
Para alguien aqui poder tocar,
para descansar un poco.
Salió el ratón medio loco
también voy a descansar.
Y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un
danzón liviano.
El ratón se subió al guano, y dice
bien placentero:
Y ahora si quieren bailar, búsquense otro timbalero!
Ay candela, candela, candela me quemo aé.
Oye Faustino Orama¹ y sus compañeros,
necesito que me apaguen el fuego.
Margarita llama pronto a los bomberos para
que vengan a apagar el fuego.
Oye, si estás perdida llama a los siete ceros,
y así vendrán mas pronto los bomberos.
Ay candela, candela, candela me quemo aé.
mama Aaaay!
