El Cantante

The singer

El Cantante

I am the singerYo soy el cantante
That today they have come to listenQue hoy han venido a escuchar
The best of the repertoireLo mejor del repertorio
I am going to toast to youA ustedes voy a brindar

And I sing to lifeY canto a la vida
Of laughter and sorrowDe risas y penas
Of bad momentsDe momentos malos
And good thingsY de cosas buenas

They came to have funVinieron a divertirse
And they paid at the doorY pagaron en la puerta
There is no time for sadnessNo hay tiempo para tristezas
Come on singer startVamos cantante comienza

They always stop me in the streetMe paran siempre en la calle
Many people commentingMucha gente que comenta
Hey Hector ah! you are done¡Oye Héctor ah! Tú estás hecho
Always with females and at partiesSiempre con hembras y en fiestas

And no one asks if I suffer if I cryY nadie pregunta si sufro si lloro
If I have a shameSi tengo una pena
That hurts very deeplyQue hiere muy hondo
I am the singerYo soy el Cantante
Because my thing is to singPorque lo mío es cantar
And the public paysY el público paga
To be able to listen to mePara poderme escuchar

I am the singerYo soy el cantante
Very popular everywhereMuy popular donde quiera
But when the show is overPero cuando el show se acaba
I'm just another humanSoy otro humano cualquiera

And I continue my life with laughter and sorrowsY sigo mi vida con risas y penas
With bitter times and good thingsCon ratos amargos y con cosas buenas
I am the singerYo soy el cantante
And my business is to singY mi negocio es cantar
And to those who follow meY a los que me siguen
I'm going to toast my songMi canción voy a brindar
