I'M GOING TO PLAY IT ON FOOT (SALSA)
I'm going to play it on foot
To the tune of Armado Molero
Like the group Barrio Obrero
Who plays it like it is (hey!)
I'm going to play it on foot
Like Rafael Rincón
Firmo Segundo y Mahón
And Deyanira Emanuels
It's that my gaita, when it's played on foot (that's my gaita),
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good
It doesn't have a piano, it doesn't have a bass, it's traditional
It walks barefoot wherever it wants
And now the children are singing it and they're carrying it around Venezuela
It's that my gaita, when it's played on foot (that's my gaita),
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good
It doesn't have a piano, it doesn't have a bass, it's traditional
It walks barefoot wherever it wants
And now the children are singing it and they're carrying it around Venezuela
That's how it was, it's my gaita
That's how it was, it's my gaita
That's how it was, it's my gaita
It's that the guitar gives it a Tun-Tun, Tu-Tun-Cun-Tun
Anabel
And the guitar gives a Tun-Tun
Cu-Tu-Cu-Tu-Cu-Tun, Cu-Cu-Tun-Cu-Tun
Cu-Cu-Tu-Cu-Tu-Cu-Tun, Cu-Cu-Tun-Cu-Tun
With lots of flavor and lots of bembé (whoa!)
When a gaita has bembé
Which is with cuatro, furro, and tambora
And the charrasca that is so sonorous
With the maracas of VHG, G-G-G, G-G-G
It's that when my gaita is played on foot
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good
It doesn't have a piano, it doesn't have a bass, it's traditional
It walks barefoot wherever it wants
And now the children are singing it and carrying it around Venezuela
(My Venezuela)
It's that when my gaita is played on foot
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, So, so, so, so good (so, so, so, so)
It doesn't have a piano, it doesn't have a bass, it's traditional
She walks barefoot wherever she wants
And now the children are singing it and carrying it around Venezuela
That's how it was, it was my gaita
That's Maracaibo, it was my gaita
Don't get it wrong, don't make a mistake
It's VHG, I carry you in my blood
Old, old, it has a Tan-Tan
It has a Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tran
Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tran
But very tasty and traditional (whoa!)
La Cabra Mocha has Tan-Tan
Paraguaipoa has Tan-Tan
Los Patinadores, Tri-Qui-Tri-Qui-Tran
But very tasty and traditional
It's that my gaita, when it sounds on foot (it's that my gaita)
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good (Jesucita)
She doesn't have a piano, she doesn't have a bass, she's traditional (of course)
She walks barefoot wherever she wants
And now the children are singing it and carrying it around Venezuela
It's that my gaita, when it plays on foot (the light came on)
It sounds so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good (the light of the children)
She doesn't have a piano, she doesn't have a bass, she's traditional
She walks barefoot wherever she wants (the love for our children)
And with us she goes singing and growing in other lands
That's how my gaita was, Bernando Bracho
That's how my gaita was
That Tun-Tun-Tun-Tun-Cu-Tun-Cun-Tu
That Cu-Tun-Cun-Tun-Cu-Tun-Cu-Tun
I copied it from Astolfo Romero and Ricardo Aguirre
That's how my gaita was, oh, Mom!
