La Bamba Lyrics

Para bailar la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mi e para ti e para mi

Ay arriba ay arriba
Ay arriba ay arriba
Ay arriba ay arriba por ti sere, por ti sere, por ti sere

Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan

Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan

Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mi e para ti e para mi

Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
Bamba la Bamba
