Llegaron las fiestas de los carnavales
se dijo alegrarse, curarse los males
Cholos y cholitas bailan muy contentos
declaran la guerra, declaran la guerra
a los sufrimientos (bis)
Bom, bom, bom, suena el bombo
ratatatá, suena el tambor
yin, yin, yin, suena el violín
todos a cantar, todos a bailar
viva el carnaval
todos a cantar, todos a bailar
viva el carnaval
Se ha perdido un niño
en la muchedumbre
comerse las uñas tiene por costumbre
cholos y cholitas lo andarán buscando
Pantalones cortos, pantalones cortos
calzoncillo’ largo’ (bis)
Bom, bom, bom, suena el bombo
ratatatá, suena el tambor
yin, yin, yin, suena el violín
todos a cantar, todos a bailar
hasta desmayar
todos a cantar, todos a bailar
viva el carnaval
viva el carnaval
viva el carnaval
The carnival season has arrived
it’s time to get happy
to forget your troubles
cholos and cholitas dance very happily
declaring war against suffering
Bom, bom, bom, beats the bombo
ratatata, beats the drum
yin, yin, yin, sings the violin
let’s all sing, let’s all dance
carnival forever!
A boy got lost in the crowd
biting his nails is his habit
cholos and cholitas go looking for him
short pants, long underpants
Bom, bom, bom, beats the bombo
ratatata, beats the drum
yin, yin, yin, sings the violin
let’s all sing, let’s all dance
until someone faints
let’s all sing, let’s all dance
carnival forever!
