Carnaval!
Ayayayayai!
Carnaval!

El Mundo, El Cielo,
celebra Carnaval!

(Lala lala lala)

Ayayayayai!
(lala lala lala lala lala lala lala lala)

Have a party
Shake your body
Do the limbo
Dancin' a la Bimbo
Do it all night
See the sunlight
We go on and on and on

We gonna have a party
It's time to shake your body
Come on and do the limbo
Dancin' a la Bimbo
We can do it all night
'til we see the sunlight
We go on and on and on

(lala lala lala)
Carnaval!
(lala lala lala)
Ayayayayai!
(lala lala lala lala lala lala lala lala)

(lala lala lala)
El Ritmo Tropical
El Ritmo Tropical
(lala lala lala lala)
El Ritmo Tropical
celebra Carnaval!
(lala lala lala lala)
El Ritmo Tropical
El Ritmo Tropical
(lala lala lala lala)
El Mundo, El Cielo,
celebra Carnaval!
