Cantor de Mambo Lyrics

Eu não volto mais pra cá não
Hoje eu sou cantor de mambo
Hoje eu vivo aqui na América
Ganho bem cantando mambo

Yo te quiero mi querida
Sin tus besos non soy nada
Baila el mambo que yo canto a ti

Yo te miro tu me miras
En tu cuerpo mi delírio
Baila el mambo que yo canto a ti

Eu já tenho um Cadilac
Moro aqui em Hollywood
Sou sucesso aqui na América
Sou o rei cantando mambo

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I personally think this song is making fun of Carlos Santana. All the guitar licks are a straight-up impression of him. All the lyrics are about a mambo singer performing in America. I think they're saying that he's acting like this big rock star, but he's really just another mambo singer.
