This is the sixth music video in the Cumbia Transmission music video series.

This video features the lyrics within the song, Cumbia Transmission 5th Gear.

This song is also in the 4/4 time signature. However, there are various elements of the number five or groups of five represented. Look for musical parts like the slide guitar. The guitar’s slide should sound like it’s shifting through all five gears.
Video elements in sequences of five.
The lyrics might be a sneaky hint at elements of five.

For example, the lyrical content is comprised of a group of five. Each phrase contains five words.

(1) “Please” (2) “don’t” (3) “grind” (4) “my” (5) “gears.”

(1) “I’ll” (2) “stay” (3) “strong” (4) “for” (5) “years.”

Isn’t that what you would say if you were a Cumbia Transmission?

Poem For 5th Gear

This is fifth gear, we are here at the top.

You are here for top speed, stay in the left lane because there’s no need to stop.

If you’ve come this far, then your intentions should be clear.

Keep the wheel steady and never oversteer.

Drop it down to 4th if you need a boost otherwise just cheat keep it here and enjoy the cruise.

Like my predictable rhyme, loving fifth gear is not a crime.

Too slow while in 5th and your engine will rumble.

If you’re bogging the engine down, it’s because your RPMs are too low.

It might feel like you’re driving a bubble.

5th gear is for high speeds, top in miles per hour.

Hold your head high, have no fear and let the clown cars cower.

Does your vehicle feel shaky?

*It’s because you’re going faster, don’t forget, no matter how fast you go, aerodynamics is everyone’s master.
