Hi Laurent,
here goes Quimbara by Amaru Murar:

Quimbara, cumbara
Qimba quim bam ba

Quimbara, cumbara
Qimba quim bam ba

Eh mama, eh mama

La rumba me esta llamando
Bongo dile que ya voy
Que se espere un momentico
Mientras canto un guaguanco

Dile que no es un desprecio
Pues vive en mi corazon
Mi vida es tan solo eso
Rumba buena y guaguanco

Eh mama, eh mama

Azucar (probably specific to this performance by Haila)

Quimbara, cumbara
Qimba quim bam ba

Si quieres bailar
Si quieres gozar

Quimbara, cumbara
Qimba quim bam ba

Lo baila Marieta
Tambien Joseito
Quimbara, cumbara
Qimba quim bam ba

Hope this helps... sorry I couldn't get the accents going.
By the way, did you ever find the words to Cuba Linda?
I'd love to get my hands on those.
