Oiga, señorita cumbia, yo quiero con usted gozar
Oiga, señorita cumbia, yo quiero con usted bailar
Oiga, señorita cumbia, yo quiero con usted gozar

A mí me llaman "señorita cumbia"
Porque la bailo con el corazón
Bailo la cumbia, también la rumba

Bailo guaracha, también el son

Ritmo de cumbia, cumbia caliente
Esa es la música que bailo yo
La baila toda, toda la gente
Y todos gozan igual que yo
