Bamba (Hush version)

    Seven sold-out shows resulted in this special recording by the quietly dynamic Erin Corday in concert. Live with special guests and featuring Joel Litwin on percussion.
    -
    Painted Door offers a rare look at Corday's solo acoustic years and her folk roots beginnings before her ten year hiatus brought on a shift towards electro-acoustic, alternative and cinematic americana. Longtime fans will find their favorite acapella songs, surprises and songs in Spanish and Portuguese. Here too is the love of subtlety and nuance that Corday continues to explore in her music today.

lyrics

(Traditional)

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Arriba y arriba iré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

En mi casa me dicen
En mi casa me dicen
"El Inocente"
porque tengo muchachos
De quince a veinte
Arriba y arriba iré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitán
Soy capitán
Soy capitán
Arriba y arriba iré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Para subir al cielo
Para subir al cielo
Se necesita un escalera grande
Y otra chiquita
Arriba y arriba iré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Bamba, bamba
Por ti seré
Por ti seré


ENGLISH:
In order to dance the Bamba
A little charm is needed
And another thing
Up and up I’ll go
I will be yours
I will be yours

At home
They call me the innocent one
Because I have fifteen to twenty boyfriends
Up and up I’ll go
I will be yours
I will be yours

Bamba, bamba
I will be yours

I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor
I'm a captain
I'm a captain
I'm a captain
Up and up I’ll go
I will be yours
I will be yours

To climb to heaven
You need a big ladder
And a small one too
Up and up I’ll go
I will be yours
I will be yours

Bamba, bamba
I will be yours
