The lyrics are. "Oye como va, mi ritmo, bueno pa gosar mulata
+10
Oye como va: Listen how it goes Mi ritmo: My rythm Bueno pa gozar: It is good to enjoy Mulata: Mulata (a latin girl mixture of black and spanish parents)
It's NOT derogatory in Spanish, depending how it is used. Sorry for the error there.
