Arroz con Habichuela

Would somebody please translate this song into english for me?

Esto no es balada, esto no es rock
Esto es Salsa, Son y Rumba.
Esto no es ensaladita Light
Arroz con habichuela y vianda es lo que hay.

Esto no es lo que tu piensas
No te vayas a tirar.
Si no aprendiste a conciencia
La clave te va a tumbar.

Esto tiene su truquito.
Esto no es llegué y pegué.
Esto lleva sus añitos (Rafael!)
Pa tocarse como es

ESTRIBILLO

Esto no es la A y la B,
Esto llega hasta la Z.
Esto no es mamá, papá y nené,
Esta es la lección completa.

Esto no viene en los libros,
No se enseña en la academia.
Esto es poquito a poquito,
Luego el esfuerzo se premia.

ESTRIBILLO

Cuatro décadas Gran Combo en la cocina
Cocinando Salsa para la gente latina.

No, no es ensaladita Light de dieta
Pregúntale a Juan José que trajo la receta.

Es la cadencia del Son de Cuba elegante
Y el Swing de Nueva York siempre pa adelante.

Sabor, sabor, sabor de la vieja escuela
Salsa caribeña, rumba, plena.
No se aprende ni en la academia más fina.
En la calle, calle, calle, rumbón de esquina.
Traigo melao. Que rico que sabroso el tumbao.

Lo que hay, esto es lo que hay.

This is no ballad, this is no rock (n'roll)
this is salsa, sound and rumba
this isn't "light" little salad
Rice and beans and stewed food, that's what we have here for you.

This isn't what you think
Don't throw yourself (because of this, to the floor)
If you didn't learn (it) consciously
The clave is going to knock you out

You need to get the knack of this
This isn't any "I came and I hit"
This has taken some years (Raphael!)
to get to be played like this

CHORUS

This isn't the A and the B (ABC)
This goes to the Z
This isn't mum, dad and baby,
this is the whole lesson.

This doesn't come from books,
this isn't taught in academies
this is little by little
then the effort is rewarded

CHORUS

Four decades Great Combo in the kitchen
cooking salsa (sauce) for the latin people

No, it isn't "light"-of-dietetic little salad
Ask John Joseph who brought the recipe

It's the cadence of the elegant Cuban Sound
and New York's swing always-forward.*

Flavour, flavour, old school flavour
caribbean salsa, rumba, at its peak
Can't be learned even in the finest (dance) academy
Out on the street, street, street, huge rumba of a streetcorner
I bring melao (molasses). How tasty how delicious the tumbao

What we have, this is what we have here for you.


T.N.: "tumbar" means literally to be on the ground something that used to be standing up. That's why I translated "this clave is gonna knock you out", that's in the real sense. But tumbao is the beat of the rhythm section (percussion) of a Salsa band.
"clave" is the rhythm x--x--x---x-x--- from salsa.
* It could also be translated as "always ahead".

Thank you very much for your help.
