El Cantante

The Singer

El Cantante

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

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

They came to have funVinieron a divertirse
And paid at the doorY pagaron en la puerta
There's no time for sadnessNo hay tiempo para tristeza
Let's start singerVamos cantante comienza

They always stop me on the streetMe paran siempre en la calle
Many people commentMucha gente que comenta
Hey, Hector! You're made¡Oye, Hector! Tú estás hecho
Always with women and at partiesSimpre con hembras y en fiestas

And nobody asksY nadie pregunta
If I suffer if I crySi sufro si lloro
If I have a painSi tengo una pena
That hurts deeplyQue hiere muy hondo

I am the SingerYo soy el Cantante
Because mine 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 endsPero cuando el show se acaba
I am just another humanSoy otro humano cualquiera

And I continue my lifeY sigo mi vida
With laughter and sorrowsCon risas y penas
With bitter momentsCon ratos amargos
And good thingsY 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 will offer my songMi canción voy a brindar
