    CANDOMBERO (MILONGA)

    Hablado

    Hay que poner atención
    candombe va a comenzar,
    hay que ser de mi color
    para poderlo bailar.

    Ponete negra el vestido punzó
    porque al candombe te llevaré,
    y haceme negra ese movimiento
    igual que cuando me enamoré.
    Limpiame el traje y los zapatos
    con mucho brillo tienen que estar,
    y echame un poco de aguita fuerte
    porque el candombe me hace sudar.
    Vamos mi negrita, vámonos para el candombe
    vamos que ya suenan los compases del candombe,
    apurate negra que estoy loco por bailar el candombe
    cuando lo siento no me puedo aguantar.

    Hay que poner atención
    ˇatención! ... ˇatención! (Coro)
    hay que poner atención,
    candombe va a comenzar...
    A reir a gozar (coro)
    hay que ser de mi color
    ˇsu color! ... ˇsu color!
    para saberlo bailar.

    Oigan los cueros ya empiezan a repicar
    los tamboriles nos invitan a bailar,
    y los morenos no se pueden aguantar
    oigan los * y entran a repicar
    ˇOva! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh!
    ˇova! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh! (Coro)
    ˇova! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh!
    ˇova! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh! (Coro)
    hay que ser de mi color
    ˇsu color! ...!su color! (Coro)
    para poderlo bailar...

    You have to pay attention
    The African Dance will begin
    You have to be of the same colour skin as I am
    For being able to dance it.

    Get dressed, black woman, with the bright red dress
    Because I’ll take you to that African Dance
    And show me that move, you black woman
    Just like when I fell inlove
    Clean my suit and the shoes
    They have to shine
    And pour some hard liquor.
    Because the African Dance makes me sweat
    Come on, my black woman, let’s go to the African Dance
    Come on, the beats of the African Dance are already singing
    Hurry, black woman, I’m anxious to dance the African Dance
    When I feel it, I cannot hold back.

    You have to pay attention
    Attention! … Attention! (Choir)
    You have to pay attention
    The African Dance will begin…
    To laugh, to enjoy (Choir)
    You have to be of the same colour skin as I am
    Of his colour! … Of his colour!
    For knowing how to dance it.

    Listen to the whips, they are already beginning to ring
    The small drums invite us to dance
    And the dark-haired ones cannot hold back
    Listen to the and enter to ring
    ˇOva! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh!
    ˇova! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh! (Choir)
    ˇova! ˇova! ˇova! ˇoh!
