Oiga, Mire, Vea

If it smells like sugarcane
Tobacco and tar
You’re in Cali
Oh, look and see!

If the women are
Pretty and gorgeous
There’s no ugly one here
Just so you know

My Cali is getting dressed up
For its most popular party
With sugarcane, sweet syrup
Boiling in the pot till dawn

There’ll be bullfights
And at night, parties and dancing

In Cali, look
We know how to have fun
In Cali, look
We know how to have fun

By day, the blazing sun
Makes my Cali heat up
By night, its little streets
Look beautiful with lanterns

Tune the orchestras well
Because this year we’re gonna blow it up
The party started on Sixth Street
Let’s go to Juanchito to finish it off

With salsa from there
With lots of peanuts
With salsa from there
With lots of peanuts

Hey, look, see
Come to Cali so you can see!
Hey, look, see
Enjoy the fair so you can see!

If you’re just arriving
Start getting in the mood
Because from dance to dance
You’ll find your groove

By day in the plaza
Bullfights
By night, booths
No girls, no way

Hey, look, see
Come to Cali so you can see!

If you go to Juanchito
You’ll have a great time
If you go to the working-class neighborhood
You’ll become a party animal
If you get too hot
Don’t check the time
Grab a snow cone
And that’s the end of the story!

Hey, look, see
Enjoy the fair so you can see!

Here there’s no problem
Here there’s no fight
My people from Cali
Enjoy and party

Order a bottle
Order a keg
Because in my beautiful Cali
People respect each other

Hey, look, see
Come to Cali so you can see!

Drive slow
If you’re already tipsy
If you’re driving
You’ll get into trouble

Stay still
It’s already dawn
And after the tiredness
Head to Pance

Hey, look, see
Come to Cali so you can see!
Hey, look, see
Enjoy the fair so you can see!

What what what what what?

They wanted me to sing to you
Cali, I sing to you and I will sing to you!
After the fair is over
The party keeps going as it should

This proves it
And here it’s confirmed
That the women of Cali
Have flavor

Salsa!
Because they move their waist

The women of Cali
Have flavor

Salsa!
Because they move their waist
