Candela Verde

I started dancing cumbia
Without shoes and without a shirt
I started dancing cumbia
Without shoes and without a shirt
With four lit candles
And a bottle of rum
And an old dancer
Who passed by and gave me a good burn
Oh, be careful with the old lady
Who's happy with her chalice
She burned my ribs
And made me see a green candle
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well then
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well then
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well then
Oh, be careful, it burns me, well then

And now comes the good part

Come on, she burned me
I'll give you a slap to spoil the party
Oh yes, if nothing happened here, let the party continue

I started dancing cumbia
With a shoe in my hand
I started dancing cumbia
With a shoe in my hand
But an old man with shoes
Who gave me a big stomp
But an old man with shoes
Who gave me a big stomp
Oh, be very careful with the old man
Who can't see or hear a thing
He stomped on my callus
And made me see even more fire
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well then
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well then
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well then
Oh, be careful, he steps on me, well then

Come on, he stepped on me
Well, I'll give you a slap to spoil the party
But if I tell you that nothing happened here, let the party continue
