ele y velo y baila este montuno,
bien (coro)
este ritmo agita poco a poco
tiene pica pica y tambi saoco
por qu sera
porque ha nacido del vientre del caribe
y el mundo recibe
todo el calor que trae, el son montuno
elo y velo y baila este montuno
bien (coro)
hace maravillas en la gente
de jaleo y fiesta es la fuente
por qu sera
porque creci en el trico candente
de amores ardientes
y es el calor que trae, el son montuno
elo y velo y baila este montuno
bien (coro)
no tiene fronteras (coro) es libre
ni tiene banderas (coro) de todos
es tumbao de calle y de hermandad
es de ron y azar (coro) melao
de ca y carreta (coro) bragao
es sudor de pueblo hecho canci
elo y velo y baila este montuno, bien
elo y velo y baila este montuno, bien
elo y velo y baila este montuno, bien
tiene yunfa y tiene saoco tambi
calor y sabor de mi tierra
ay, qu bbaro, mi montuno
a bailar, a gozar
ay, ay, ay, qu bueno esta tumbao
elo, blalo
qu rico, qu sabroso este gjeo del monte
hace maravillas en la gente
todos bailan con, el montuno
montuno, el montuno
con el montuno me voy
me voy
(Translation:)
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
this rhythm picks up little by little
it has pica pica and also saoco
(your guess is as good as mine)
why is that ??
'cause it was born in the womb of the carribean
and the world receives
all the warmth it brings..the son montuno
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
it works miracles on people
it springs from commotion and parties
why is that ??
because it grew in the tropics of the heart
from ardent loves
and that's the warmth it brings
the son montuno
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
hear it, live it and dance this montuno well
it has no borders..it's free
it has no flags...it's everyone's
it's the beat of brotherhood and the street
it's from rum and sugar...molasses
from sugarcane and horsedrawn
carts...strong
it's the sweat of the nation is song
it has yunfa and saoco too
the warmth and the taste of my homeland
hey, it's great my montuno
let's dance, let's enjoy
ay, ay, ay, the beat is so good
hear it...dance it
