Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco Bernabé, come to the ravine
Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco Bernabé, come to the ravine
Por culpa de ti Bernabé Because of you Barnabas
Pero la fiesta ya se echó a perder But the party is already spoiled
Tú no quieres bailar, tú no quieres gozar You don't want to dance, you don't want to enjoy
Ey, deja que los negros bailen al son Hey, let the blacks dance to the tune
Acuérdate bien Bernabé Remember well Barnabas
La fiesta de casa 'e Manuel The house party 'e Manuel
Te pusiste a pelear, no quisiste bailar You started to fight, you didn't want to dance
Y toda la gente se fue del bongó, oye! And all the people left the bongo, hey!
Acuérdate bien Bernabé Remember well Barnabas
Tú no bailas la bembé You don't dance the bembé
(Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco) (Barnabé, come to the ravine)
Bernabé, Bernabé Barnabas, Barnabas
Vente acá al barranco a gozar Come here to the ravine to enjoy
(Bernabé, ven pa' el barranco) (Barnabé, come to the ravine)
Canto a la raza, raza de bronce I sing to the race, race of bronze
Raza jarocha, que el sol quemó Jarocha race, that the sun burned
A los que sufren, a los que loran To those who suffer, to those who cry
A los que esperan, les canto yo To those who wait, I sing
Alma de jarocha que nació morena Soul of jarocha who was born brunette
Calle que se mueve con vaivén, deja marcas Street that moves with swing, leaves marks
Tarde perfumada con besos de arena Afternoon perfumed with kisses of sand
Tarde que se quejan, paisajes de nácar Afternoon that complain, mother-of-pearl landscapes
Boca donde gime la queja doliente Mouth where the suffering complaint moans
De toda una raza llena de amarguras Of a whole race full of bitterness
Alma de jarocha que nació valiente Soul of jarocha who was born brave
Para sufrir toda desventuraTo suffer all misfortune
