"A song for their friend Andres, about playing music and partying.
Hey, I'm here! We're going to the dance that María is giving with Don José. We'll have yuca with mojo there, and we'll eat the congrí that's there, friend Andrés. Hey, I'll be there. If you're there, you'll dance with Doña Juana and also have fun with Doña Inés. If you see me in a corner, keep enjoying yourself like friend Andrés is already doing. Enjoy! Don't forget about Don Bartolo, he's drunk and he's looking at his wife. Oh! I'm telling my two friends, don't tell them that I told them. I've already heard myself, Compay Andrés, your party is delicious, with the Gloria Matancera this place is enough to drive you crazy. They also play rumba, guaracha or bembé here, don't just sit there. Oh! Come and enjoy yourself, Compay José. Hey, my people here are already getting inspired, it's not the rum or the beer, but the son we're singing, and that's why I never stop attending your party. I'm telling you, my brother, oh! I can't live without Cuban son, I'm telling you, my brother, I can't live without Cuban son. But how delicious the leathers of my Matancera sound, come and enjoy, you. Bongosero! What do you say? Batá cuncún, batá cuncún. Deliciousness! They told me that the Glory is carrying delicious, oh!, what you like. Juanito came with his little dog that adds and multiplies with her tail, you see. Let's go to the dance, I'm telling you, let's go to the dance, Compay Andrés. And hey, if you don't dance this guarachón with me, if you don't dance with me I'd better leave. Compay Andrés.
¡Oye, ya llegué!
Vamos al baile que da María
en compañía de Don José.
Si allí tendremos yuca con mojo,
y comeremos del congrí
que hay, compay Andrés.
Oye, allí estaré.
Si allí usted baila con Doña Juana
y también goza con Doña Inés.
Si a mí ve en un rinconcito, siga gozando
como hace ya el compay Andrés.
¡Goza!
No se descuide de Don Bartolo,
está borrachito y mira a su mujer.
¡Ay!, se lo digo a mis dos compadres
no le cuenten que yo se lo conté.
Yo ya me escuché, Compay Andrés,
su guateque está sabroso,
con la Gloria Matancera
esto está para volverse loco.
Que aquí se toca también la rumba,
la guaracha o a un bembé,
no se quede sentadito.
¡Ay!, venga a gozar, Compay José.
Oye, aquí mi gente ya se está inspirando,
no es el ron ni la cerveza,
sino el son que estamos cantando,
y por eso es que a su guateque
yo no dejo de asistir.
Se lo digo, hermano mío,
¡ay! sin son cubano yo no puedo vivir,
se lo digo, hermano mío,
sin son cubano yo no puedo vivir.
Pero que rico suenan los cueros
de mi Matancera venga a gozar, usted.
¡Bongosero!
¿Cómo dice? Batá cuncún, batá cuncún.
¡Sabrosura!
Que me dijeron que va la Gloria
llevando rico, ¡ay!, lo que le gusta a usted.
Vino Juanito con su perrita
que con el rabo suma y multiplica, usted ve.
Vamos al baile yo se lo digo,
vamos al baile, Compay Andrés.
Y oye, si no bailas conmigo este guarachón,
si no bailas conmigo mejor me voy.
Compay Andrés.
