The black waves were crashing all over the port And the sky roared above like a terrible storm Under lanterns of copper and cristal so bright The plaza was waiting, the fiesta tonight The strings, palmas, tambores were playing with fire Coloured capas were turning around and around higher I gave them the ritmo right next to the gate When a stranger came walking — a challenge to fate Heavy botas, with salt on his skin He carried the storms of the cold norte wind The old hombres laughed when they saw him appear Nobody knew what was coming so near The cuerdas went silent, the people did too He took just one step — nobody knew Who was this hombre who entered alone? And the cielo held its breath like the world turned to stone Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Toda Emberborne empezó a temblar Con sus botas marcando el compás Cada piedra quiso despertar Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Nadie quiso volver a parar Hasta el viento cambió de canción Cuando sus caderas dictaron el son ¡EH! ¡EH! ¡QUE RUGA EL TAMBOR! ¡EH! ¡EH! ¡BAILA LA TORMENTA! The bailarinas lifted their eyes The greatest maestros stood up with surprise One made a giro, one answered the song And he came back like a ciclón strong His botas threw chispas all over the floor The palmas climbed higher, then higher some more The norte and sur had no reason to fight Because his pasos could marry the left and the right The cuerdas caught fire, the tambor gave a roar Nobody knew who was challenging whom any more Because the whole plaza shouted, alive and as one One voz, one corazón, one beat of the drum Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Toda Emberborne empezó a temblar Con sus botas marcando el compás Cada piedra quiso despertar Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Nadie quiso volver a parar Hasta el viento cambió de canción Cuando sus caderas dictaron el son Then suddenly came that impossible slide That giro feroz with his fire and pride And his knees did a thing no reason could know Ay, madre — they bent impossibly low! The lámparas swung from the left to the right The guards lost their rango and danced through the night Even the statues began moving on Stone hips waking up to the beat of the song The calles were pounding beneath his two feet The luna spun round when she heard that beat And the thunder discovered, beneath every star What it means when the trueno learns how to bailar Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Toda Emberborne empezó a temblar Con sus botas marcando el compás Cada piedra quiso despertar Cuando el trueno aprendió a bailar Nadie quiso volver a parar Hasta el viento cambió de canción Cuando sus caderas dictaron el son
