Para ser rumbero
Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber llorado
Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber vivido
Tú tienes que haber soñado…
Y haber reído…
Para ser rumbero tienes que sentir por dentro.
Emociones dulces que agiten tu sentimiento
Si no naciste con clave… entonces no eres rumbero
Podrás cantar con sentido podrás tener buena voz
Pero ser rumbero nunca si te falta corazón
Para ser rumbero tienes que amar a la gente
Y tener el alma tan clara cual sol de oriente
Tú tienes que ser sincero…
Y entonces serás rumbero…
CORO
Si quieres ser rumbero…
Ay tú tienes, tienes que haber llorado
Coro
Oye… que tú tienes que haber vivido.
Coro
Tienes, tienes, tienes que haber soñado.
Coro.
Si quieres ser rumbero tienes primero que haber reído.
Coro
Tienes que amar a la esquina.
Coro
Y entender a la avenida.
Coro
Si tú quieres ser rumbero
Mambo
Coro
Tienes que entender, que nada sabes
Coro
El rompiendo no respeta clave
Coro
Y saber que los tambores
Coro
Son del barrio los pulmones
Coro
Respeta lo popular.
Coro
Tiene que saber cuándo cantar.
Coro
Y también cuando adornar
II mambo
Coro
Si quieres ser, si quieres ser, si quieres ser, si quieres.
Coro
Rumbero tienes que amar a la gente
Coro
Tienes que tener el alma cual sol de oriente.
Coro
Tienes que saber de clave, tienes que tener la llave del barrio.
Coro
De lo que se canta primero, tienes que sentir
Coro
Tienes que tener la experiencia el barrio y como vivir.
To be a partygoer
To be a partygoer you have to have cried
To be a partygoer you have to have lived
You have to have dreamed
And have laughed
To be a partygoer you have to feel inside
Sweet emotions that stir your feelings
If you weren't born with rhythm... then you're not a partygoer
You can sing with meaning, you can have a good voice
But you'll never be a partygoer if you lack heart
To be a partygoer you have to love people
And have a soul as clear as the eastern sun
You have to be sincere
And then you'll be a partygoer
CHORUS
If you want to be a partygoer
Oh you have, you have to have cried
Chorus
Listen... you have to have lived
Chorus
You have, you have, you have to have dreamed
Chorus
If you want to be a partygoer you first have to have laughed
Chorus
You have to love the corner
Chorus
And understand the avenue
Chorus
If you want to be a partygoer
Mambo
Chorus
You have to understand, that you know nothing
Chorus
Breaking the rules doesn't respect rhythm
Chorus
And know that the drums
Chorus
Are the lungs of the neighborhood
Chorus
Respect the popular
Chorus
You have to know when to sing
Chorus
And also when to embellish
II mambo
Chorus
If you want to be, if you want to be, if you want to be, if you want
Chorus
Partygoer you have to love people
Chorus
You have to have a soul like the eastern sun
Chorus
You have to know rhythm, you have to have the key to the neighborhood
Chorus
Of what is sung first, you have to feel
Chorus
You have to have the experience of the neighborhood and how to live
