La Repiqueteada

Stomping dance, full of life
How it cheers us up, how we love it
It gets us ready for love
Eyes of fire, tenderness of a flower

Walking to the beat
Slowly you start
Later on, you won't know
If you're dancing or if you took off

Easy and hard, hard and easy
The art and science of stomping
A drum beats under your feet
The earth and the man
Upside down, right side up

If you seek love
With love you find it
If you want to give love and don't know how
With love you learn

So salty and sweet, sweet and salty
Like rivers, like seas
Like the ritual of sharing
The weight and joy of living

Stomping dance, full of life
How it cheers us up, how we love it
Pure rhythm of the heart
Ending in a spin, embracing love

Playful and restless, the stomping dance
Like hips, like hands
Pleasures that love gives
Heaven's treasure, God's gift

Walking to the beat
Slowly you start
Later on, you won't know
If you're dancing or if you took off

Easy and hard, hard and easy
The art and science of shaking
Invincible with love, pure faith
The music dances like a woman

If you seek love
With love you find it
If you want to give love and don't know how
With love you learn

So bitter and sweet, sweet and bitter
Like mate, like days
Like the bitter absence of love
Like a sweet mouth burning with passion

Stomping dance, full of life
How it cheers us up, how we love it
Pure rhythm of the heart
Ending in a spin
Embracing love.
