The Red Skirt

(Colombia and Mexico!)
(In the house!)
(Give it to me!)
 
Oh, at the sound of the drums
this black girl sure knows how to do it
and with the sound of the woodwinds
they're offering up toasts to their loves
 
It's the black girl Soledad
the one that enjoys my cumbia
it's that black tasty fruit, wow!
with the red skirt.
 
From here to there,
From there to here, how good she is
(with her red skirt)
 
Look at how she dances
look at how she moves
the red skirt
(with her red skirt)
 
That black darling, that pretty black girl
Wow mama
So that Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Panama dance it!
(With her red skirt)
 
(Listen, Yuri!)
(That's what it's like)
(In time with the accordion)
(How nice!)
(With Sonora Santanera)
 
Oh when I sing to Soledad
I feel happy
(Why?)
because with her moves
she gives me admiration
 
Oh, she's the color of cinnamon
and smells a lot like pepper
How happy am I? Wow!
with her red skirt
 
From here to there
From there to here, how good she is
(with her red skirt)
 
Look at how she dances
look at how the red skirt moves
(with her red skirt)
 
That beautiful pretty girl
how pretty and tasty she is
(with her red skirt)
 
Oh, from here to there
From there to here, how good she is
(with her red skirt)
 
And I want to give a warm hello to my country Colombia
(with her red skirt)
 
(Hey, Charlie, how do they do this dance in Colombia?)
(In Colombia we dance it very smooth, like this, really shameless, which the church doesn't like.)
 
(And with the Santanera?)
(Like this!)
 
(Red skirt red)
(Red skirt red)
(Red skirt red)
(Red skirt red)
 
(These guys!)
(Tasty)
(Just look)
(How do you say it?)
 
(with her red skirt)
(with her red skirt)
(with her red skirt)
(with her red skirt)
 
From here to there
From there to here, how good she is
(with her red skirt)
 
That black darling
That pretty black girl, wow mama!
(with her red skirt)
 
And to me, what a great thing it is to dance
"La Pollera Colorá"
(with her red skirt)
 
Oh, look how she dances
look how she moves that red skirt
(with her red skirt)
 
(Look at Colombia!)
(And Mexico in the house.)
(And Veracruz! Yes, sir!)
