Para bailar, La Bamba
Para bailar, La Bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Ay, arriba arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba, bam

Para bailar, La Bamba
Para bailar, La Bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba

(guitar solo - Richie & instrumental)

Para bailar, La Bamba
Para bailar, La Bamba
Se necessita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Para mi, para ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Ay, arriba arriba
Por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
FADES-
Bamba, bamba.

English translation:

Dance the La Bamba
Dance the La Bamba
It's necessary to have a little grace (style)
A little grace for me and you

Up! Up!
Up! Up! for we are
For we are
For we are

I am not a sailor
I am not a sailor, I am a captain
I am a captain
I am a captain.

(repeats)
