Translation
Chan Chan
From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I arrive in Cueto, I go to Mayarí
When Juanica and Chan Chan
were sifting sand at the sea
The way she shook the sifter
made Chan Chan sad
Clean the road of straws
because I want to sit down
on that tree trunk that I see
And that way I can't arrive
From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I arrive in Cueto, I go to Mayarí
- 1. "Se me sale la babita" literally means "my saliva comes out"

Better “ashamed” than “sad”. “Pena” in spanish means “sadness” but also “shame”. In the song, the Juanica’s butt shaking, makes Chan Chan feel ashamed. I think.
