El Tambor de La Alegria

Panamanian, Panamanian
Panamanian, my life
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

I want to ride in a car
And also on a streetcar
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

To the drum of joy
Where my life is found
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

Girl, don’t be coy
Marry a cop
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

I come to my land every week
To sing with your joy
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

I love you madly
Panama, my homeland
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

Panamanian, Panamanian
Panamanian, my life
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

Poison from Puerto Rico
Panamanian, my life
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

With my songs
All our sympathy
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

Panamanian, you look divine
You spread joy all around
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

Little Panamanian girl
Charming little girl
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

How crazy it is to be with you
Panamanian, my life
I want you to take me
To the drum of joy

The guys want your laughter
Your dancing and your joy
