I am, the boy on the corner,
the one that in a bembé is inspired by a night of San Juan.
But I am, I am, the one who in love one day
The fence jumped one day for a serenade to give.
That's you, and I am, from the pentagram a note,
the laughter of the bootblack and the cry of my mother,
I am, that voice that rises
when injustice tears the flower of integrity.
It is that I am, and I am the surprise of a little boy
that discovers in a kiss that can fall in love.
-r-
I bring life and the morning in my singing
the vellonera and the symphony also
and that is that I sing to everything I can see, and be
in this world of injustice and duty.
Every morning is just the opportunity, for me,
to show you that tomorrow is yesterday
that you do not need eyes to see, and be
that you have to live to love.
I am?? the white rum in conito (health)
the record of a dominito (trancao) in a patronal feast
And I am the husband who drunk
crying like a boy
go back to your doña contentar ¡Perdoname Mamita!
I want I want you to listen to my songs
and open their hearts
sincerely, as always
Just to sing I was born one day
it was my mom the joy and singing was my dad
Is that crazy crazy, crazy we all have a little
and whoever does not have it, oh blessed!
He does not know what it is to enjoy
-r-
Chorus:
(Only to sing I was born one day).
I thank God for giving me the opportunity
to express what I feel from the depths of my soul.
To offer you my soul my feeling,
my taste and my energy
But I tell you that the joy of being able to live doing
what we like Cheo and Gilberto who would say it.
I was just born, and I plan to continue like this
while there is melody
Just to sing to you and tell you that I still love you
Just so you know that I love you
Beloved baby, my beloved.
One August 21, 1962
Cheo, who gave birth to Ana Maria.

Just to sing, just to sing
to love and the earth to peace and war
To pain and joy
The drums sound in celebration
to the heat of my people who know how to enjoy
the heat of my ghent, but who knows how to dance
And if I die and I am reborn,
I swear to you Cheo that undoubtedly and tasty,
I would sing again
If you my friend are the great promise and confirmation
You have the flavor but you have the breeding.
I have inspiration in you, I have plenty of admiration
and I learn my lesson of your mastery
But make a mistake the banquet is for the people
this tremendous rumbon, who the hell would plan it.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
