El Vendaval

The gale comes knocking down roofs
Oh my goodness where do I go
I throw myself to the ground even if it breaks my skin
I throw myself to the ground even if it breaks my skin
What I care about is my hat
Get ready because it's about to start
In Barranquilla during carnival
Like Curramba, there will never be another like it
Like Curramba, there will never be another like it
Long live Junior and the carnival
Battle of flowers with the grand parade
And a corn-dressed brunette
And a corn-dressed brunette
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
What I feel is my hat

Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived

The gale comes knocking down houses
Oh my goodness, what a threat
The Currambero always goes far
And returns for the carnivals
Ester Forero, Barranquilla's girlfriend
Come for a hug, breaking ribs
On Tuesday we bury Joselito
With rum and cornstarch we accompany him
Festival of orchestras and accordions
Festival of orchestras and accordions
Water and cornstarch, throw it, gentlemen
Water and cornstarch, pour it, gentlemen

Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived
Come here, let's enjoy
Come here, carnival has arrived
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay!
