The singer

Héctor Lavoe

El Cantante

Yo soy el cantante
Que hoy han venido a escuchar
Lo mejor del repertorio
A ustedes voy a brindar

Y canto a la vida
De risas y penas
De momentos malos
Y de cosas buenas

Vinieron a divertirse
Y pagaron en la puerta
No hay tiempo para tristezas
Vamos cantante comienza

Me paran siempre en la calle
Mucha gente que comenta
¡Oye Héctor ah! Tú estás hecho
Siempre con hembras y en fiestas

Y nadie pregunta si sufro si lloro
Si tengo una pena
Que hiere muy hondo
Yo soy el Cantante
Porque lo mío es cantar
Y el público paga
Para poderme escuchar

Yo soy el cantante
Muy popular donde quiera
Pero cuando el show se acaba
Soy otro humano cualquiera

Y sigo mi vida con risas y penas
Con ratos amargos y con cosas buenas
Yo soy el cantante
Y mi negocio es cantar
Y a los que me siguen
Mi canción voy a brindar

Son mejor que los de ayer, comparenme criticones
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Si no me quieren en vida, cuando muera no me lloren
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Yo te canto de la vida olvida tus penas y tus dolores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Baila si quieres bailar, canta si quieres cantar, mamá
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Yo soy el cantante, vamo' a celebrar
No quiero tristezas lo mío es cantar, cantar
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
El pregón de la montaña esas sí, que eran canciones
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Oh, le, lo, la, la, a, la, la, la, ah-ah-ah
Escucha mi pregón que dice
Lo, le, lo, la, le, lo, la, la, la, la, le, le, le, la, la, la

No es tan fácil el cantar, como creen cierto' señores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
La vida me ha dado todo, desengaños e ilusiones
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Un saludo a mi contrario, mando yo también merecen honores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Al mundo estremezco yo preparence bailadores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Cantando olvido las penas y también los sinsabores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Escucha bien ese toro, dice todo sí, señores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Ay quienes cantan con falda, yo canto con pantalones
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Vamos a ser una descarga, con los cantantes mejores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Mi saludo a Celia, Rivera, Feliciano esos son grandes cantores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)
Ellos cantan de verdad ellos, siempre ponen a gozar a la gente
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Escuchen bien su cantar, aprendan de los mejores
(Hoy te dedico, mis mejores pregones)

Ele, le, le

The singer

I am the singer
That today they have come to listen
The best of the repertoire
I am going to toast to you

And I sing to life
Of laughter and sorrow
Of bad moments
And good things

They came to have fun
And they paid at the door
There is no time for sadness
Come on singer start

They always stop me in the street
Many people commenting
Hey Hector ah! you are done
Always with females and at parties

And no one asks if I suffer if I cry
If I have a shame
That hurts very deeply
I am the singer
Because my thing is to sing
And the public pays
To be able to listen to me

I am the singer
Very popular everywhere
But when the show is over
I'm just another human

And I continue my life with laughter and sorrows
With bitter times and good things
I am the singer
And my business is to sing
And to those who follow me
I'm going to toast my song

They are better than yesterday's, compare me critics
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
If you don't love me in life, when I die don't cry for me
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

I sing to you about life, forget your sorrows and your pains
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
Dance if you want to dance, sing if you want to sing, mom
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

I am the singer, let's celebrate
I don't want sadness, my thing is to sing, sing
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
The proclamation of the mountain, those were songs
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Oh, le, lo, la, la, a, la, la, la, ah-ah-ah
Listen to my proclamation that says
Lo, le, lo, la, le, lo, la, la, la, la, le, le, le, la, la, la

Singing is not as easy as certain gentlemen believe.
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
Life has given me everything, disappointments and illusions
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Greetings to my opponent, I also deserve honors
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
I shake the world I prepare dancers
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Singing I forget the sorrows and also the disappointments
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
Listen well to that bull, he says everything yes, gentlemen
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Oh those who sing with a skirt, I sing with pants
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
Let's be a download, with the best singers
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

My greetings to Celia, Rivera, Feliciano, those are great singers.
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)
They really sing, they always make people enjoy themselves.
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Listen well to their singing, learn from the best
(Today I dedicate to you my best proclamations)

Ele, le, le
him, him
him, him
