lyrics

Oye colegiala
Dame un poquito de tu sabor
Un fisquito na’mas
Para nuestro ritmo de mankala…oye mi cumbia!

(hey colegiala, give me a bit of your flavour, just a little bit, for our Mankala rhythm…listen to my cumbia!)

Baila el ritmo de mankala (dance to the rhythm of mankala)
Goza la musica sabrosa (enjoy our tasty music)
Canta
No llores
Alegren los corazones

(Sing, don’t cry, cheer up your hearts)

Mankala la gente esta bailando (mankala the people are dancing)
Mankala la gente esta gozando (mankala the people are enjoying)
Mankala la gente esta brincando (mankala the people are jumping)
Mankala la gente esta saltando (mankala the people are jumping)
