Si vienen a bailar, pues vamos a gozar
Si vienen a dormir, salgan fuera de aquí

Este es el ritmo de mi cumbia que te va a mover
La technocumbia que te traigo te dará el placer
Para que muevas tu cuerpo, de la cabeza a los pies
Y ahora que estamos de fiesta, repitan todos después

Hey (Hey), oh (oh), Hey (Hey)
No me dejen sola
Este reventón sí es para toda la bola

Si vienen a bailar, pues vamos a gozar
Si vienen a dormir, salgan fuera de aquí
Porque esta cancion no es pa' ningún flojón
Si aún está sentado, tira la silla a un lado

Baila, baila sin parar
No hay tiempo para descansar
Este baile es para ti
Quiero verte hasta sudar

Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es el nuevo baile de la techno technocumbia

Miro alrededor y algo estoy notando
Que hay unas personas que no están bailando

Baila, baila sin parar
No hay tiempo para descansar
Este baile es para ti
Quiero verte hasta sudar

Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es el nuevo baile de la techno technocumbia

Mira a Juan no se puede ni mover
Pues le pesan los zapatos, mucho lodo ha de traer
Mira a María, no se mueve de su silla
Es lo que te pasa siempre si comes muchas tortillas 
Mira José pues no más está sentado
Se tomo muchas cervezas y ahora camina de lado
Mira, Rosa no se quiere levantar 
Porque trae rotas las medias, no la vayan a mirar

Baila, baila sin parar
No hay tiempo para descansar
Este baile es para ti
Quiero verte hasta sudar

Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es el nuevo baile de la techno technocumbia

Muévele, muévele y alto
Muévele, muévele y alto
Muévele, muévele y alto
No le muevas tanto, alto

All right, oh yeah
All right, oh yeah
All right, oh yeah
All right, oh yeah

Baila, baila sin parar
No hay tiempo para descansar
Este baile es para ti
Quiero verte hasta sudar

Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es es el nuevo baile de la technocumbia
Le mueves pa'ca, le mueves pa' allá
Es el nuevo baile de la techno technocumbia
