"Bomboío cao" is a fast conga straight out of a Cuban carnival by Hermanos Bravo.
CHORUS: The drums are already sounding, my black woman wants to guarachar, listen to the way the quinto sounds, and the grave wants to speak. And in the distance I hear a chorus that goes like this: Grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, bomboio cao cao, bomboio cao cao, bomboio cao caoooo.

CORO: Ya están sonando los tambores,
mi negra quiere guarachar,
escucha el quinto como suena,
y la tumba quiere hablar.
Y a lo lejos yo siento un coro que dice así:
Abue, abueyee, abue, abueyee,
bomboio cao cao, bomboio cao cao, bomboio cao caoooo.
