Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Spain)
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba
Con panderas y sonajas,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba,
No te metas en las pajas,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba,
Toca el pito y el rabel,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba,
Tamboril y cascabel.
English Translation
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba
With tambourines and rattles,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba
Do not get into the straws,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba
Play the whistle and the rebec*,
Gatatumba, tumba, tumba
Drum and bell.
*Medieval stringed instrument
