lyrics

Yo le dije a Torbellino
Que no andara conmigo
Torbellino se ha perdido
Yo no se donde andará

Ay Torbellino! Ay Torbellino!

Subiendo miro pa’rriba
Bajando miro pa’bajo
Torbellino se ha caído
Todavía nadie lo ha encontrado

Ay Torbellino! Ay Torbellino!

Ay Torbellino!
Ay!
Ay Torbellino!
Torbellino se ha perdido
Yo no se dónde andará
Preguntale al marimbero
Que por ahí lo anda buscando
Torbellino majadero
Torbellino apareció
Entre una botella ‘e ron
En tremendo parrandón
