1 She came without luggage
Like stranded from a shipwreck
In the holds of a cargo ship
She left her island
For a new world
Far from the slums
R Oh Macumba, Macumba, she dances every night,
For the port dockers who only think about drinking
Oh Macumba, Macumba, she dances every night
br/>For jilted sailors looking for a fight
Oh Macumba
2 To find the strength to wait
She invents tender dreams,
The glasses of Tequila
Warm her memory
Of these words of yesteryear
Burning like hope
R Oh Macumba, Macumba, she dances every night,
br/>To the rhythm of salsas, to the chords of guitars
Oh Macumba, Macumba, she dances every night
And she offers her night to be a few dollars
Oh Macumba
