Fire
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
A rodent made a dance, for some great fun
a kettle drummer rat who brought joy to the field one day
A cat also came, elegant and pleasant
Good night companion, always fixed on the kettle drum
there the type of playing, in order to rest a little
the rat came out half crazy, I'm also going to rest
and the cat in his good dancing, danced a light dance*
the rat climbs a palm tree and says very pleasant
And now if they want to dance they look for another drummer
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Hey I need Faustino Oramas and your companion
to put out my fire
Margarita call the firefighters soon
so they come to put out the fire
Hey, if you are lost dial the seven zeroes
and that way the firefighters will come sooner
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh mama!
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
Oh fire, fire, fire I'm burning oh
I'm burning oh, I'm burning oh
Dilan, dilan
I'm burning oh
dilan, diriran
I'm burning oh
diriran, diriran...
Margarita how I'm burning (I'm burning oh)
I want to keep enjoying myself (I'm burning oh)
The fire is calling me (I'm burning oh)
I like to keep dancing guaracha (I'm burning oh)
This afternoon we've kept on ending (I'm burning oh)
As I want to keep playing (I'm burning oh)
The woman when she bends over (I'm burning oh)
It opens the mind (I'm burning oh)
The woman when she bends over (I'm burning oh)
It opens the mind (I'm burning oh)
And the man when he looks at her (I'm burning oh)
his thinking stops (I'm burning oh)
I like one thing about you (I'm burning oh)
Without costing me work (I'm burning oh)
I like one thing about you (I'm burning oh)
Without costing me work (I'm burning oh)
from the stomach on up (I'm burning oh)
from the waist on down (I'm burning oh)
Look she's burning, she's burning mama...
*danzón.. one of Cuba's most popular dances

Hello!
I don't know why but I don't see the entire lyrics to the song here ☹️
Also there are some small mistakes in the spanish version like "oye se esta perdida llama los siete ceros" and "el hombre quando lo mira" instead of the feminine pronoun.
Other than that great job and thanks!

This is a typical Cuban song and dance. The character words I would leave in the original, with a note, if necessary:
*"guarachando" (They are dancing guaracha")
*"danzón" one of Cuba's most popular dances
* In the last stanza "seguimo' tocando", = "we keep on plying", no "touching"
