Lyrics

The Tenth World

Baila mi rumba

Batela, goza y mira mama

Baila, mira mama

Batela, goza, mira eh

Rumbando bello es que yo voy

Bailala bailala bailala

Bailala baila baila

Eh eh mama

[??????]

Baila baila my rumbo[?]

Ele eh ele eh

Bailala bailala baila

Din din baragadin dan dan

Baila baila baila baila

Venezolano en Nueva York

En California y en todos lados

Te la traigo

Para que vos...para que gozes gozes cosa buena

Gozes con todo el mundo

El africano y todo el mundo

Bailala

Bailala

Bailala

Bailala

Bailala

Gringos!

Izquierdo! Izquierdo! Vamos, oye!

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Me voy

Gringos! [This is funny. "Gringo" is a pejorative way that some South Americans have to refer to Anglo-Saxons. It's clear that some North Americans are actually dancing to the music in]
