"FURÚMBELA"

By: Dr Enrique Gines Aguirre 

Furúmbela, furúmbela, 

danza conmigo, 

deja que vuele tu cuerpo,

al ritmo de los vaivenes del alma, 

mueve tus encantos, 

esa hermosa cintura deja que gire, 

que enamore, que cautive, 

que el ritmo de furúmbela, 

dibuje la magia de tu baile.

Furúmbela tiene cadencia en su cuerpo, 

pero ella baila para mí, 

ella permite que revoloteen a su lado,

bellas mariposas, 

baila y le da vida a nuestra tierra, 

ella es la naturaleza que canta,

y emite sonidos de flora y de fauna, 

baila mi hermosa furúmbela, 

enamórame con tu danza. 

Furúmbela tiene color de piel del que la ama, puede ser morena o blanca, 

ella mueve sus caderas, 

le danzan sus ojos y cantan sus labios, 

tiene un aura de colores vivos, 

que tienen armonía musical, 

y juegan con el cabello suelto al viento, 

uno de los encantos de mi furúmbela.

Furúmbela tiene nombre, 

a veces es mi mariposa en primavera, 

a veces es el rocío después de una tormenta, ella es la dueña de mis letras, 

de mis poesías, 

ella es encantadora, 

ella baila mis poemas,  

sin tener música, 

ya que la música es ella.

Furúmbela es la mujer linda de mi bella tierra, de esta tierra que tiene folklor, 

que tiene calor, 

ella mueve sus caderas, 

al tono de un verso tropical, 

ella se desliza por los valles, 

por los campos y montañas, 

seduciendo las raíces de mi bella tierra.
