[English]

Miami confirmed it for me

Gente de Zona

Puerto Rico gave it to me

Marc Anthony

Dominican Republic already responded

Yelelei yelelei ohh

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me (Put it)

And the party started, Miami confirmed it for me (What did it confirm?)

And the rice and beans, Puerto Rico gave it to me

And the merengue drums, Dominican Republic already responded

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me

Echoing

Things are really tough, things are divine

Peru with Honduras, Chile with Argentina

Panama brings the dance, Ecuador's got the rhythm

And Uruguay with Paraguay, brothers with Costa Rica

Bolivia is arriving, Brazil is on its way

The world is joining in the Latin party (Put it)

And the party started, Miami confirmed it for me

And the rice and beans, Puerto Rico gave it to me

And the merengue drums, Dominican Republic already responded

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me

And the party started, Miami confirmed it for me

Oh, the rice and beans, Puerto Rico gave it to me

And the merengue drums, Dominican Republic already responded

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me

(Marc Anthony)

Let's go Guatemala, the party awaits you

Call Nicaragua, El Salvador sneaks in

I sing from Cuba, and the world hears

If you're Latino, wave your flag

Put it

And the party started, Miami confirmed it for me

And the rice and beans, Puerto Rico gave it to me (What's up, dad?)

And the merengue drums, Dominican Republic already responded

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me

And the party started, Miami confirmed it for me

Oh, the rice and beans, Puerto Rico gave it to me (Boricua)

And the merengue drums, Dominican Republic already responded

With Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela

And from the Caribbean, it's you and me

For the friends, let's go

How's it going, dad?

Now no one can bring us down

Put it there, cuchi cui

Joyful, and look how I enjoy (Botin)

I told you

Gente de Zona

You know

The best thing playing today

...
