[English]

And this beautiful cumbia titled: "Lunar Cumbia"

And we go to the moon

With the flavor of El Gran Silencio, let’s go!, hey, now!

...

I was walking through the streets of my neighborhood

And a dark-haired girl approached me

I was walking through the streets of my neighborhood

And a dark-haired girl approached me

And she wants me to sing in her ear

The lunar cumbia, sun’s cumbia

And she wants me to sing in her ear

The lunar cumbia, sun’s cumbia

Lunar cumbia, jingle bell cumbia

I say what I say, I say, I say what I want

Let’s go inside, let’s go outside

Dance to rich cumbia with the limo, lemonade

Dance to rich cumbia with the limo, lemonade

Let’s go inside, let’s go outside

Luna, moonlit, jingle bell cumbia

I say what I say, I say, I say what I want

...

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, hey!

...

And this is for the great master

Andrés Lambulero

In his starry sky

...

I was walking through the streets of my neighborhood

And a dark-haired girl approached me

I was walking through the streets of my neighborhood

And a dark-haired girl approached me

And she wants me to sing in her ear

The lunar cumbia, sun’s cumbia

And she wants me to sing in her ear

The lunar cumbia, sun’s cumbia

Sun, little sun, so warm and bright

I say what I say, I say I need you

Let’s move forward, little by little

Give me your fire to light my cigarette

Give me your fire to light my cigarette

Let’s move forward, little by little

Sun, little sun, so warm and bright

I say what I say, I say I need you

...

And for the buddy

Celso Piña and La Ronda Bogotá

In Valle Verde, the princes of vallenato, hey!

Lunar cumbia, jingle bell cumbia

I say what I say, I say, I say what I want

Let’s go inside, let’s go outside

Dance to rich cumbia with the limo, lemonade

Dance to rich cumbia with the limo, lemonade

Let’s go inside, let’s go outside

Luna, moonlit, jingle bell cumbia

I say what I say, I say, I say what I want

...
