Lyrics

La Bamba

(traditional)

Bam, bam, bamba

Bam, bam, bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia y otra cosita

Y arriba y arriba

Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire

Yo no soy marinero

Yo no soy marinero, por ti sere

Por ti sere, por ti sere

Bam, bam, bamba

Bam, bam, bamba

Para subir al cielo

Para subir al cielo

Y otra chiquita

Ay y arriba y arriba

Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire

Yo no soy marinero

Yo no soy marinero, por ti sere

Por ti sere, por ti sere

Bam, bam, bamba

Bam, bam, bamba

Bam, bam, bamba

Bam, bam, bamba
