Chorus :
Today we pay tribute
We pay tribute
To Mr. Héctor Lavoe
Singer of the singers
[Domingo Quiñones]
Singer who deserves
All the respect in the world
Well, sing from the deep
That existed in his heart
In his living school
Pride of Puerto Rico
I sang with aico
Together with Willie Colón
Hey the Murga that good goes
This is the Murga of Panama
Hey, how rich is that good
This is the Murga of Panama
Che Che Cole, How good is it?
Che Che cholera, dead e ?? Laughter
Coqui saranga, hold my sleeve
Caca chilanga, which comes from catanga
[Van Lester]
After a lot of sweating
And a lot of work
He formed his own orchestra
To be able to continue
With his musical work
He continued being handsome
In order to be able to sing
That tasty message
The almighty is the lord
The almighty is the lord
And my rhythm is hot
Let My People Sing
I want you to sing that my people sing
Let my people sing
[Domingo Quiñones]
King of Punctuality
That he was always late
And when singing to his boast
He was not scared
Canto Bomba, full song
Guaguancó, guaracha and rumba
And the occasional bolerito
More than once he sang it
[Van Lester]
Hector, we thank you
For your beautiful songs
You are always in our minds
You live in hearts
Now all the singers
We pay tribute to you
How well you deserve
Singer of the singers (bis)
Chorus :
Today we pay tribute to the singer of the singers
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
