This is not a ballad, this is not rock
This is Salsa, Son, and Rumba
This is not a light salad
Rice with beans and root vegetables is what we have
This is not what you think
Don't go throwing yourself
If you didn't learn it thoroughly
The clave will knock you down
This has its little trick
This is not a hit and run
This takes its years
To be played as it should
This is not A and B
This goes all the way to Z
This is not mommy, daddy, and baby
This is the complete lesson
This is not found in books
It's not taught in academia
This is little by little
Then the effort is rewarded
Four decades, Gran Combo in the kitchen
Cooking Salsa for the Latin people
No, it's not a light diet salad
Ask Juan José who brought the recipe
It's the cadence of elegant Cuban Son
And the Swing of New York always moving forward
Flavor, flavor, flavor of the old school
Caribbean Salsa, Rumba, Plena
You don't learn it even in the finest academia
In the street, street, street, corner party
I bring melao, how delicious and tasty the groove
What we have, this is what we have
