El Tieso Y La Negra Soledad

I have a cousin stiff as a board
at parties, he just sits there
won't dance, no way.

But one day he met Soledad at a party
and then he saw her shake it.

That girl is pure fire,
how she moves her hips,
and my cousin, poor guy,
was ready to marry her right then,
there he goes.

Soledad, girl,
my cousin finally learned to dance.
All about SKA, merengue, and son,
mambo, calypso, and guaguancó.

Soledad, girl,
my cousin's a great dancer.
It's the truth that love
can do it all, yes sir.

let's dance, dance

The day came when my cousin
could take Soledad out to dance
at a party, how great.
Right away they formed a circle, amazed,
seeing them enjoy the pure fire, just like that.

And the girl was shining with her prettiest smile
and my cousin looking sharp,
he had his own style too.

Soledad, girl,
you found your perfect match.
All about SKA, charanga, and son,
mambo, calypso, and guaguancó.

Soledad, girl,
you won't have to search anymore.
It's the truth that love
can do it all, yes sir.
