Rana, sagüero y rumba, araña peludi… ta

Rana, sagüero y rumba, araña peludi… ta

Rana, sagüero y rumba, araña peludi… ta

Rana, sagüero y rumba, araña peludi… ta

¡Eeeh!

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Pero que ran kan kan, que ran kan kan

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Y ahora Tito Puente1 viene a tocar su 'timbar'2

Ran kan kan, kan kan

y nadie lo puede igualar.

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Y ahora viene Tito, y ahora viene Tito.

¡Reeey!3

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Toca, toca, toca tu 'timbar',

Ran kan kan, kan kan

porque yo sé, porque yo sé que tú quiere',

Ran kan kan, kan kan

porque cuando tú toca', nadie te pueden igualar.

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Ahora viene Tito, oye con su 'timbar'.

Ran kan kan, kan kan

Y si la rumba lo llama,

Ran kan kan, kan kan

el hombre dice: Rombi, prepárame los timbales4

Ran kan kan, kan kan

—porque ahora me voy a rumbear,

Ran kan kan, kan kan

—Y no quiero a nadie, oye, que me pare

Ran kan kan, kan kan

¡Y el rey, Tito Puente!

Rey - Tito Puente was often called "El Rey (the king) de los Timbales". See here.4. Timbales - Timbales or pailas are shallow single-headed drums with metal casing. They are shallower than single-headed tom-toms, and usually tuned much higher.... The player (called a timbalero) uses a variety of stick strokes, rim shots, and rolls to produce a wide range of percussive expression... and usually plays the shells of the drum or auxiliary percussion such as a cowbell [cencerro] or cymbal to keep time in other parts of the song.
