Gotta Get Down (La negra tiene tumbao) Songtext
von Celia Cruz

La negra tiene tumbao (¡ay, tumbao!)
And she can shake it in style
(My chocolate lady, gotta get down)
La negra tiene tumbao (Nunca camina de la′o, de la'o)
And she will always get down

Its rhythm′s sold out temptation
Queen of la salsa caliente (ha ha!)
Moving in every direction (por aquí, por allá)
She takes control of mi gente (contigo, baby)

That way she moves like she's crazy (loca, crazy)
She'll taught you that she′s amazing (gotta get down)
She wakes that body with passion (¡cariño!)
And she′s the queen of the action (¡azúcar!)

La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style (you gotta get down, you gotta get down)
La negra tiene tumbao (¡eh, tumbao!)
And she will always get down


La negra tiene tumbao
And she can shake it in style (you gotta get down, you gotta get down)
La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she will always get down
(You gotta get down, you gotta get down)

Cuando la gente se muere
Se dice que eran tan buena
Moving in every direction
She takes control of mi gente

Que a mí me vengan a decir la verdad (¿cómo?)
No aguanto ya más mentiras (ha ha!)
She wakes that body with passion (¡cariño!)
And she's the queen of the action (¡azúcar!)

La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style
(You gotta get down, you gotta get down)
La negra tiene tumbao (¡eh, tumbao!)
Nunca camina de la′o, de la'o

My chocolate lady, gotta get down
My chocolate lady, gotta get down
My chocolate lady, gotta get down
My chocolate lady, gotta get down


Body to the left, I know she gets down
Body to the right, I know she gets down
That she going crazy with that body
That she moves ′cause they know she gets down

Esa negrita tiene tumba'o
Todos la siguen por su camina′o
Esa negrita tiene tumba'o
Todos la siguen por su camina'o

Gotta get down! Ha ha ha ha!

Nunca camina de la′o, de la′o

La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style
(You gotta get down, you gotta get down)
La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style
(You gotta get down, you gotta get down)

(Esa negrita que va caminando)
La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style
(Ella baila de la'o, también apreta′o)
La negra tiene tumbao
(Gotta get down, gotta get down)
And she can shake it in style
(Nunca camina de la'o)
