Ever wonder what the La Bamba lyrics actually mean? Well I did, and after doing a little bit of research I stumbled into a few sites discussing the song. The original song was said to be the name of a dance, which has no direct English translation, and is presumably connected with the Spanish verb bambolear, meaning "to shake" or perhaps "to stomp". Translations around the web are controversial, but this is the best translation I could find. See the debated Spanish to English translation below. (Not Verified)
