Translation:
En el barrio La Cachimba, se ha formado la corredera,
En el barrio La Cachimba, se ha formado la corredera.
Allá fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas,
Allí fueron los bomberos con sus campanas, sus sirenas.
In the Cachimba neighborhood, a running line has formed,
In the Cachimba neighborhood, a running line has formed.
There went the firefighters with their bells, their sirens,
There went the firefighters with their bells, their sirens.
