About La Bamba

"La Bamba" is a folk song whose origins can be traced to the Mexican state of Veracruz over 300 years ago. It is best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. The traditional song inspired Ritchie Valens' rock and roll version "La Bamba" in the 1950s. Valens' "La Bamba" infused the traditional tune with a rock beat, making the song accessible to the population of the United States and earning it (and Valens) a place in rock history. .

La Bamba Lyrics

[00:06.04] Para bailar la bamba
[00:09.50] Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
[00:15.91] Una poca de gracia pa mí, pa ti, arriba y arriba
[00:22.49] Y arriba y arriba, por ti seré
[00:25.71] Por ti seré, por ti seré
[00:28.92] Yo no soy marinero
[00:32.20] Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán
[00:35.03] Soy capitán, soy capitán
[00:39.95] Bamba, bamba
[00:42.80] Bamba, bamba
[00:46.02] Bamba, bamba, va
[00:51.32] Para bailar la bamba
[00:54.45] Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
[01:00.72] Una poca de gracia pa mí, pa ti, arriba y arriba
[01:06.51]
[01:31.56] Para bailar la bamba
[01:34.10] Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
[01:40.69] Una poca de gracia pa mí, pa ti, arriba y arriba
[01:47.05] Y arriba, y arriba, por ti seré
[01:50.38] Por ti seré, por ti seré
[01:54.69] Bamba, bamba
[01:58.05] Bamba, bamba
[02:01.24] Bamba, bamba
[02:03.14]
