El guaguansón es un baile muy sabroso
The guaguansón is a dance so tasty
El guaguansón es un baile muy sabroso
The guaguansón is a dance so tasty
Báilalo despacito y tú verás qué sabroso es
Dance it slowly and you'll see how tasty it is
Báilalo despacito y tú verás qué sabroso es
Dance it slowly and you'll see how tasty it is
Allá por la serranía que está lo que tanto quiero
Over there in the mountains is where my heart lies
Esa es la madre mía, caramba, por ella muero
That's my mother, wow, I would die for her
Báilalo despacito y tú verás qué sabroso es
Dance it slowly and you'll see how tasty it is
Báilalo despacito y tú verás qué sabroso es
Dance it slowly and you'll see how tasty it is
A ve', vamo' a ver por qué
Come on, let’s see why
