Lyrics
¡Oh!, San Pedro de Macorís, ey
I'd like to live in the streets
of San Pedro de Macorís
I'd like to live in the streets
of San Pedro de Macorís
I'd like to sing my song
in the middle of malecón
I'd like to sing my song
in the middle of malecón
Drinking my guavaberry
watching the sun go down, oh
woman that's all I need
in San Pedro de Macorís, oh!
Quiero vivir junto a ti
en San Pedro de Macorís
quiero vivir junto a ti
en San Pedro de Macorís
Quiero bailar mi canción
en el medio del malecón
quiero bailar mi canción
en el medio del malecón
Bebiendo guavaberry
al ritmo de un tambor, oh
o bailando feliz
en San Pedro de Macorís, ¡oh!
I wanna dance in the streets
of San Pedro de Macorís
I wanna dance in the streets
of San Pedro de Macorís
I wanna hear the sound
of cocolos beating their drums
I wanna hear the sound
of cocolos beating their drums
Drinking my guavaberry
watching the sun go down, oh
woman that's all I need
in San Pedro de Macorís, oh!
Woman that's all I need
watching the sun dance in the streets
woman that's all I need
singing my song from Macorís
Woman that's all I need
bailando me siento feliz
woman that's all I need

Woman that's all I need
in the middle of the lonely street
woman that's all I need
I wanna dance it in the heat
Woman that's all I need
eh!, yeah, yeah, yeah
woman that's all I need
of San Pedro de Macorís
Watch out!...
Good morning, good morning
good morning my guavaberry
good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning

good morning, good morning
of San Pedro de Macorís
Watch out!...
Good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning

Woman that's all I need
watching the sun dance in the streets
woman that's all I need

Woman that's all I need
bailando me siento feliz
woman that's all I need
en San Pedro de Macorís, ¡oh!
Cocolo from San Pedro!
