Translation
Chan Chan
"From Alto Cedro, I go to Marcane,
I get to Cueto, I head for Mayari."
(3X)
"The love that I'm feeling,
Cannot be denied,
I want you all over,
It's something I can't hide.
"Johnnie and Chan Chan,
Are playing in the sand,
Johnnie shakes her sifter,
He wants to be her man.
"'I see a friendly tree trunk,
I want to sit me down,
Clear out the path, please,
And I will stay around.'
"From Alto Cedro, I go to Marcane,
I get to Cueto, I head for Mayari."

This translation draws freely on two previous translations on this site. I do not speak Spanish well and this version is more designed for singability and flavor than fidelity to the original words.
