La Bamba Lyrics

Ara bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita
Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Y arriba y arriba

Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba

Y arriba y arriba y arriba irй
Por ti sere, por ti serй, por ti serй
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan

Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita
Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Ay y arriba y arriba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba

Y arriba y arriba y arriba irй
Por ti sere, por ti serй, por ti serй
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan

Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
Bailar la bamba
