Voy por el mar vengo en mi lanchita, a buscar me amor
Traigo cosa rica
Ella espera con todo carino, me da su bombon y yo
Le doy lo mio

Poquito para aqui, poquito para alla
Poquito para arriba, poquito para abajo
Poquito para aqui, poquito para alla
Se baila esta cumbia

Yo soy un hombre me gusta lo bueno
Y gozar tambien, con la de mis suenos
Ya me handa por mi morena, yo la quiero ver
Y darle cosa buena

Poquito para aqui, poquito para alla
Poquito para arriba, poquito para abajo
Poquito para aqui, poquito para alla
Se baila esta cumbia

I'm going by the sea, I come in my little boat, to look for my love
I bring something delicious
She waits with all her love, she gives me her sweetness and I
I give you mine

A little here, a little there
A little bit up, a little bit down
A little here, a little there
This cumbia is danced

I am a man I like good things
And also enjoy, with the one of my dreams
She already wants me for my brunette, I want to see her
And give him good things

A little here, a little there
A little bit up, a little bit down
A little here, a little there
This cumbia is danced

Me gusta cumbia! The added pleasure of Los Lobos doing it is icing on the cake.

Ouch - this is a very tough transition from Spoon's "Wild" for me.

Glad to hear latin rithms in Radio Paradise!! Go for more, guys, there is a ton of great music in Spanish... Rubén Blades, Juan Luis Guerra, Celia Cruz, to name just 3 outstanding figures...

Makes me want to get back to Ibague, Mompos, and Pereira in the heart of Colombia where it's 24/7 cumbia&romance. Miss you, Edilsa!

These guys are the masters of their game and a true American treasure! Never miss a chance to see them live.

I can't believe this tune only has a 6 rating. Saw them do a live acoustic show last week and they played this amongst many others from their catalogue. Superb. Definitely one of the best live acts touring these days. Outstanding musicians. Everyone was up dancing.

Whether or not you like this song is one thing, but comparing Los Lobos to Status Quo or the one trick ponies that were Chas n Dave just makes me shake my head. I can only assume that either you haven't heard much stuff by Los Lobos or you've heard too much stuff by Quo and it's addled your pate.
 
Well, they may be 9,999 trick ponies, but couldn't this still be just a trick? After seeing them live, I'm pretty sure Los Lobos can just about pull off anything they want to.

After a year of Latin my teacher retired and was not replaced, so I switched to Spanish (or more precisely Castilian, since there are several Spanish languages). I've been living in Mexico for the last four decades. Is this an example of the butterfly effect?

Lláme (anda) por mi morena (?)

(?) Not sure about this phrase ... either bad ears (mine)
or bad Spanish (theirs)

This is written: "Ya me anda por mi morena", it means something like "I'm eager to be with my brown woman"

This is a good album, and tracks like this one are great live, they just simmer along.

I can't embed youtubes in song comments for some reason but here's a good video. When I saw them this summer, the songs were so new, they had the sheet music in front of them, and I see Cesar does here, too...
