In a Mexican village a heavy week's working is done
All the boys and the girls comin' out in the streets having fun
They're doin' la bamba, come on
Tomorrow's so far away
Let's dance 'till the morning sun
All our troubles and sorrow can wait 'till tomorrow's back again
Drink tequilla and wine, find a friend now the evening began
Bamba
Forget what you are and the music takes you away
So come on and dance with me
Bamba
Under the moon and the stars lovers must be
So come on and dance with me
In the Mexican village the moon says hello to the sun
Will two lovers discover another week's workin' begun
They're doin' la bamba, come on
Tomorrow's so far away
Dancing for six days on
Bamba
Under the moon and the stars lovers must be
So come on and dance with me
Bamba
Under the moon and the stars lovers must be
Come on, dance with me
