Cumbia Sobre el Río [English translation]

But this music,

Why isn't played live?

To see it play live

No but who's gonna play it live?

Well then I'll play homie

And there it is and it's been 20 years

Hey, I don't hear it from here Tony

I don't hear it fool

No... ahh...

And in the new millennium

he keeps riding triumphantly

The rebel of the accordion

Celso Piña and his Bogotá crew

And from Monterrey, a Columbian cumbia

For the whole world

Look, excited and sounded

If the rhythmic water takes her now

As she turns and flies

While it shakes

While it shakes....

And a greeting to all my followers...

Much respect to the 'hood

Celso Piña yesh... Yes in the area

Sonidero cumbia, sonidero, national sonidero

National sonidero, humming the beats

Out from the 'hood vallenato freestyle

National sonidero, humming the beats

Out from the meca-mexican 'hood

Meca-Mexican, meca-mexican, meca-mexican...

The river and the good rhythm

On the melody dream

As she turns and flies

While it shakes, it shakes, it shakes, it shakes, it shakes...

And for my good brother Lalo and his four magical cords

And the blue of Piña, The Quique, and Celso Piña

Here I present you homie... Sound,

Sound and excited

Our, our accordion

Cumbia by de river

Sweet bless this, you're the leader

Right no fighters,

Word of Jah, believe it

Columbia, I sing to you with the hand up

Cumbia reggae sound rejoicing your life

Chilling at the top, new rhyme sound

Dancing in the 'hood with my homeboy Celso Piña

Rubahada, fine cumbia

Dancing in the 'hood with my homeboy Celso Piña

I'm gonna try to send a greeting

To whoever starts to dance

The beat is shaking

To jam and tune

When you start to dream

From the river to the city

Never stop dreaming

Sound, sound and excited

Our, our accordion

What's up Nelly Santana?

Dance with the rebel

And to the good step, a huge greeting

And to the little white man from Venezuela, to New York,

From New York to Monterrey... look how they enjoy themselves

Sound, sound and excited

Our, our accordion

Sound, our accordion
