Takiti Taki |
| Ay que lee ay que lea2 |
| One single palm |
| Alone and singing |
| Ay que lee |
| If San Juan knew |
| When his day was |
| San Juan would come down |
| From heaven to earth |
| Ay que lee ay que lea |
| Ae ae ay que lea |
| One single palm |
| Alone in solitude |
| Ay que lee… |
| One single palm |
| Alone in solitude |
| The wind brings it |
| And carries it away again |
| Ay que lee… |
| Ay Lola ay Lola |
| Aya tea huan bimbe… |
| I greet you tonight, people |
| To ladies and gentlemen |
| We come to you to sing |
| With all the sanjuaneros3 |
| Ay Lola ay Lola |
| Aya tea… |
| Of course I’m going to like it |
| In the Jordan river |
| What marvels have been seen |
| Christ baptized San Juan |
| And San Juan baptized Christ |
| Ay Lola ay Lola |
| Ay, we’re gonna change the language |
| Taki ti taki palm fruit |
| Taki ti taki no more |
| Here they don’t bust open the palm fruit |
| The way they do it over there |
| Taki ti taki… |
| That’s what I like |
| How am I not gonna like it |
| When you play the drum |
| The way you know how |
| Taki ti taki… |
| Swing your hips |
| Like you know how to do |
| A little step forward |
| And a little step back |
| Taki ti taki |
| Ay get up, aunt |
| Get up, my beloved aunt |
| Ae here comes the calumba… |
| I’m coming by here people |
| Before the rooster crows |
| I carried a cross |
| Of very heavy wood |
| Lumba lumba lumba lumba |
| Now play the calumbada |
| In the bloody calvary |
| My cousin was nailed up |
| Ay novillo alabaa |
| It’s gonna take you down |
