The Lyrics
Oye como va, Mi ritmo,
Bueno pa' gozar, mulata
The Translation
Hey, dig this rhythm I'm playing.
It's fun to party to, ain't it, my sweet little thing.
The More Literal Translation
Hey, how's it goin? (Oye, como va?) My rhythm (Mi ritmo)
Is good (bueno) for (pa' -- short for para) for partying (gozar) my dark skined female (mulata*)
* apparently, in Cuba there are many different words used to differentiate skin color, and mulata is one of them. However, the term has now supposedly be "slang-ized" to mean any hot chick burnin' up the dance floor. So the theory goes that the lyric doesn't really mean some particular skin color, just a hottie in general.

"Oye" literally means "Hear" or "Listen" but is commonly translated "Hey!"
"Cómo va" is literally "How does it go", or "How's it going"?
so..."Hey, how's it going?"
