Lyrics
El día de los candombes
el domingo había de ser,
se bailaba en el “recinto”
mi ciudad bella de ayer.
La fiesta se prolongaba
hasta la puesta del sol,
bailando todos los negros
del tamboril a su son.

Calunga… Caluncangué…
Decían en su cantar,
sensuales sus movimientos
enervantes sin igual.
Calunga… Caluncangué…
Y siga el son del tán-tán,
la negrada enloquecía
con el candombe oriental.

Los amos y las amitas
presenciaban la reunión,
la fiesta de sus esclavos
de notable animación.
Morenos y morenitas
en su sensual viborear,
mostraban sus blancos dientes
como las perlas del mar.
English translation
The day of the candombes
Sunday was to be,
it was danced in the "recinto"
my beautiful city of yesterday.
The party lasted
until sunset,
dancing all the blacks
of the tamboril to its sound.

Calunga... Caluncangué...
they said in their singing,
sensual their movements
enervating without equal.
Calunga... Caluncangué...
And follow the sound of the tán-tán,
the negrada went crazy
with the oriental candombe.

The masters and mistresses
witnessed the gathering,
the party of their slaves
of remarkable animation.
Brunettes and brunettes
in their sensual vibration
they showed their white teeth
like the pearls of the sea.
