(Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Que este ritmo agita poco a poco Tiene pica pica y también saoco (¿Porqué será?) Porque ha nacido del vientre del Caribe Y el mundo recibe todo el calor que trae el son montuno (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien ÓYelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Hare maravillas en la gente De jaleo y fiesta es la fuente (¿Porqué será?) Porque creció en el trópico candente De amores ardientes y es el calor que trae el son montuno (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) No tiene fronteras (es libre) Ni tiene banderas (de todos) Es tumbado de calle y de hermandad Es de ron y azúcar (melado) De caña y carreta (bragado) Es sudor de pueblo hecho canción (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien ÓYelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Tiene yunfa y tiene saoco también (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Calor y sabor de mi tierra (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Ay, qué bárbaro, mi montuno (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) A bailar, a bailar, a gozar, a gozar (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Ay, ay, ay, qué bueno está este tumbado (Óyelo, báilalo) (Óyelo, báilalo) No tiene fronteras (es libre) Ni tiene banderas (de todos) Es tumbado de calle y de hermandad Es de ron y azúcar (melado) De caña y carreta (bragado) Es sudor de pueblo hecho canción (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Ay qué rico, que sabroso este guajedo del monte (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Que hace maravillas en la gente (Óyelo y vívelo, y baila este montuno bien) Todos bailan con el montuno El montuno, el montuno (montuno) Todos bailan con el montuno El montuno El montuno Con el montuno me voy (me voy, me voy, me voy) Con el montuno me voy (ay me voy, me voy, me voy) Con el montuno me voy (con el montuno, montuno me voy) Con el montuno me voy, me voy
