From Verbena to Carnival
La Rumbera
Joe Arroyo and La Verdad (Alvaro Arroyo)
Where were you María Inés (collecting caracuchas)
And now tell me with whom (with marucha's son)
Look crazy girl
Stop doing those things
It seems like you don't follow the advice of old people with experience
Just yesterday
I was talking to your boyfriend
To settle this issue
About the alleged marriage
Which they already have to see
Because he has realized
What you have love affairs
With a radio control
An announcer, a footballer
And the singer of this orchestra
If you continue from tingo to tango
Eating mango?, dancing mambo
With Rafael's nephew
You will see that it was not lies
What the evil tongues said
That predicted what could happen to you
Oh, be careful María Inés
(or you have another story)
Oh so you can learn
(that men respect each other) (Bis)
Oh, no-no-no-no-no, María Inés
That rumba of yours everywhere
Maybe it can affect you
Even if you change your wallet
And you put on new clothes
You will always be the rumbera
Oh, be careful María Inés
(or you'll have another joke)
Oh so you can learn
(that men respect each other) (Bis)
In the Plaza de Majagual, Sincelejo
