Anyone can notice thatEso cualquiera lo nota
How it sticks and growsComo se pega y se crece

I've asked myself a thousand timesMe he preguntado mil veces
I've answered in a thousand waysMe he contestado en mil formas
It's the joy of the peopleEs la alegría de la gente
And that drives me to singY eso me impulsa a cantar

When the town has funCuando el pueblo se divierte
Everything gets stirred upTodo se revoluciona
The heart beats strongerEl pecho late más fuerte
And I can't stopY ya no puedo parar
And it's because my life is to singY es que mi vida es cantar
