Voy pa' Cayo Arena
I'm headed to Cayo Arena
A cantar de veras
To sing for real
Con la güira 'e Yapo
With Yapo's güira
En un bote de vela
On a sailboat
Ya te lo decía yo
I told you already
Sube la marea
The tide is rising
Y voy pa' Cayo Arena
And I'm going to Cayo Arena
De cualquier manera
In any way
Voy pa' Cayo Arena (voy)
I'm going to Cayo Arena (I'm going)
Anda y dile a Mon (voy)
Go tell Mon (I'm going)
A tocar la güira que llevo en el corazón (voy, voy)
To play the güira that I carry in my heart (I'm going, I'm going)
Yo te lo decía (voy)
I told you so (I'm going)
Con satisfacción (voy)
With satisfaction (I'm going)
Busca la tambora, anda pronto y dile al saxofón
Get the tambora, hurry up and tell the saxophone
Voy pa' Cayo Arena
I'm headed to Cayo Arena
A cantar de veras
To sing for real
Con la güira 'e Yapo
With Yapo's güira
En un bote de vela
On a sailboat
Ya te lo decía yo
I already told you
Sube la marea
The tide is rising
Y voy pa' Cayo Arena
And I'm heading to Cayo Arena
De cualquier manera
In any way
Tócame una suite (voy)
Play me a suite (I'm going)
Toca apambichao (voy)
Play apambichao (I'm going)
Tócame la güira, derecho, tócala joyao (voy, voy)
Play me the güira, straight, play it joyfully (I'm going, I'm going)
Toca a contratiempo (voy)
Play offbeat (I'm going)
Con inspiración (voy)
With inspiration (I'm going)
Tócame la güira que llevo en el corazón
Play me the güira that I carry in my heart
Voy pa' Cayo Arena
I'm heading to Cayo Arena
A cantar de veras
To sing for real
Con la güira 'e Yapo
With the güira of Yapo
En un bote de vela
On a sailing boat
Ya te lo decía yo
I already told you
Sube la marea
The tide is rising
Y voy pa' Cayo Arena
And I'm headed to Cayo Arena
De cualquier manera
In any way
(Voy) allá en Punta Rusia (voy)
(I'm going) there in Punta Rusia (I'm going)
Toca apambichao (voy)
Play it apambichao (I'm going)
Y por la ensenada (voy)
And through the cove (I'm going)
Tócala joyao (voy)

De cualquier manera
Anyway you look at it
