They tell if you’re bold that you don’t feel the cold
And in the rainy season it don’t pay to be old
Walking in the rain don’t bring you down
If you’re seeking love then you won’t hear – a sound
A sound, a sound that’s all around!

   When you’re in Havana
   Or down in the savannah
   If you ain’t with your mama
   One good slap and you jump me back
   Do the salsa! Salsa!

Take me to the rhythm of a good conga beat
Something that you hear on every single street
They say if you seek love it can be found
Coming from the air and from the ground
A sound, a sound, the sound is all around!

   When you’re in Havana
   Or down in the savannah
   If you ain’t with your mama
   One good slap and you jump me back
   Do the salsa! Salsa!

If you can hear a drum in the calypso song
Bet your bottom dollar that it won’t be wrong
If there’s a feel it will appeal
And if you have the feel it’s all around
A sound, you found a sound, a sound, a sound!

   When you’re in Havana...
