Voy pa'cayo arena
I'm going to pay for sand
A cantar de veras
To sing for real
Con la guira de yapo
With the yapo guide
En un bote de vela
On a sailing boat
Ya te lo decía yo
I was telling you
Sube la marea
Turn up the tide
Y voy pa'cayo arena
And I'm going to pay for sand
De cualquier manera
Either way
Voy pa cayo arena
I'm going to go to sand
Anda y dile a mon
Go and tell mon
S tocar la guira
S touch the guide
Que llevo en el corazón
What's in my heart
Yo te lo decía
I was telling you
Con satisfacción
With satisfaction
Busca la tambora
Look for the drum
Anda pronto y dile al saxofón
Go soon and tell the saxophone
Voy pa'cayo arena
I'm going to pay for sand
A cantar de veras
To sing for real
Con la guira de yapo
With the yapo guide
En un bote de vela
On a sailing boat
Ya te lo decía yo
I was telling you
Sube la marea
Turn up the tide
Y voy pa'cayo arena
And I'm going to pay for sand
De cualquier manera
Either way
Tócame una suite
Touch me a suite
Toca apambichao
Play apambichao
Tócame la guira derecha
Touch my right guide
Tócala joyao
Play it jewel
Toca a contratiempo
It's a setback
Tócame la guira
Touch my guide
Que llevo en el corazón

Sube la marea
Turn up the tide
Y voy pa'cayo arena

Allá en punta rusia
Over there on The Russian tip
Toca apambichao
Play apambichao
Y por la ensenada
And for the cove
Tócala joyao
Play it jewel
En un bote de vela
On a sailing boat
La guira la llevo
I'll take the guide
