Le escribí a Juancito
Que yo no encontraba
La inspiración
Pa'hacer un merengue
Que lleve el sabor
Que hay en la provincia (bis)
Le pedí a Juancito
Que mande contestación
Y que lo más pronto
Me escriba ese merenguito.
Y le dí las gracias
Por toda su educación
Y quedé esperando
Tranquilo ese favorcito. (bis)
Me escribió Juancito
A pesar de que es
Hombre muy ocupado,
De su manuscrito
La carta que ha
Llamado mi atención. (bis)
Y en correspondencia
Rezaba a continuación:
Para hacer un merengue
Yo les tengo la receta.
Una guacharacha,
Una caja, un acordeón
Y una voz alegre
Que conserve la cadencia.
Y que en una paila
Los pongas en el fogón
Y los vas meneando
Pa'que tomen consistencia.
Le pones esencias
Que nazcan del corazón,
Le das la sazón
Con hojitas de paciencia.
Y después le rayas
Cascaritas de limón
Y haces las canción
Con tus propias experiencias.
El tiempo que se va y se va
Que no se lleve la inocencia. (bis)
Sigo leyendo abajito
De donde dice advertencia
Que para hace' un merenguito
La cosa tiene su ciencia. (bis)
Bailá, bailá
Que traigo mi merenguito. (bis)
Del Caribe colombiano
Como le pedí a Juancito
Con su toque provinciano
Pa'los pobres y los ricos.
Bailá, bailá
Que traigo mi merenguito. (bis)
Para todos mis hermanos
Pa'los grandes y los chicos,
Que ahí les traigo la receta
Para hacer un merenguito.
El tiempo que va y se va
Ya nunca podrás detenerlo. (bis)
Coje la vida con calma,
Dejemos tanto misterio
Que se nos pasan los años
Y pa' después no hay remedio. (bis)
