about

A song about the lottery for a US Visa, in Cuba its called "EL BOMBO". If you win the BOMBO you will be doing the BOMBO dance...... We all want to win a little bombo .....

lyrics

El Bombo
Hay una Fiebre en la Habana
Aun mas caliente que el Son
y es mas Dulce que el chocolate
para el que baile el bombo

cuando se tira la bola
Ya nadie finje attencion
todos estan en las puntas
hay que saber quien gano

si se le seca la lengua
le entra un frio de pavor
se pellisca ha ver si esta despierto
ya todos saben quien gano

que lo esta jugando todita la gente

todo el mundo juega el Bombo
Que juegan el Bombo......

El Bombo (The Visa Lottery)
There is a fever in Havana
actually hotter than Son
its sweeter than chocolate
for whoever dances the Bombo

when the ball is thrown
nobody fakes their interest
everyone is holding their breath
to see who wins

if his tounge gets dry
he gets a chill of excitement
he pinches himself to see if hes awake
everyone knows who the winner is

everyone is playing
everyone is playing the Bombo
