Lyrics

La Bamba (Alternate)

Para bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti

Y arriba y arriba

Ay arriba y arriba

Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero

Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán

Soy capitán, soy capitán

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti

Ay y arriba y arriba

Para bailar la bamba

Para bailar la bamba

Se necesita una poca de gracia

Una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti

Y arriba y arriba

Ay arriba y arriba

Por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba

Bamba, bamba
