Lyrics of Rock & Roll - Celia Cruz, Sonora Matancera

Rock & Roll (original)

El mambo hizo furor en Nueva York
Pero el cha cha cha lo derrotó
Ahora un nuevo ritmo apareció
Y es el inquietante rock and roll
El mambo hizo furor en Nueva York
Pero el cha cha cha lo derrotó
Ahora un nuevo ritmo apareció
Y es el inquietante rock and roll
Ven a bailar (ven a bailar)
El rock and roll (el rock and roll)
Ven a sentir su sabor
Con su compás (con su compás)
Tú sentirás (tú sentirás)
Una deliciosa sensación
El nuevo ritmo es
Dime si lo quieres conocer
Ah… ven para que aprendas
El rock and roll (el rock and roll)
Es el furor (es el furor)
De Nueva York y hasta aquí llegó
Y hasta aquí llegó
Rock, rock, rock, rock
(Rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) rock and rooll y
Ritmo nuevo
(Rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) rock and rooll y
Ritmo nuevo
(Rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) rock and rooll y
(rock, rock) te lo brindo yo
Te lo brindo yo

(translation)

The mambo was all the rage in New York
But the cha cha cha defeated him
Now a new rhythm appeared
And it's haunting rock and roll
The mambo was all the rage in New York
But the cha cha cha defeated him
Now a new rhythm appeared
And it's haunting rock and roll
Come dance (come dance)
The rock and roll (the rock and roll)
Come to feel its flavor
With his compass (with his compass)
You will feel (you will feel)
a delicious feeling
The new rhythm is
Tell me if you want to meet him
Ah… come to learn
The rock and roll (the rock and roll)
It's the rage (it's the rage)
From New York and here came
And here it came
Rock, rock, rock, rock
