Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da
Celia Cruz
Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da
Pedro on stage plays his trombone
Celia with the orchestra is going to sing
Pedro tells Celia 'you're a bombshell'
And Celia, smiling, starts to hum
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
The party is about to start
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
Look how delicious it is
Pedro on the tram goes to the jeweler
And buys a gold ring
He goes to see Celia who is in the orchestra
He gives it to her to the rhythm of this song
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
The party is about to start
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
Look how delicious it is
A few years later, a quiet home, oh
A love nest to enjoy
The affection of both
Oh, Pedro conducting does his job
And his boys follow him in rhythm
Celia at home colors her blush
And at night she goes to sing with the orchestra
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
The party is about to start
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, let's go there
Look how delicious it is
Singing now, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Time passes and life goes on the same
And I sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da
What am I going to complain about
Pedro, that little ring
Is very beautiful and very affectionate
Hug me a little
Because, my dear, you are delicious
Time passes and life goes on the same
And I sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da
What am I going to complain about
That orchestra sounds complete
So you can dance with its salsa
The ob-la-di has its swing
The ob-la-da has good rumba
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, oh, ob-la-di to enjoy
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
This little black one is like a treasure
And if not, let the chorus say it
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
Look how good it sounds and strong
With these drums, you dance safely
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
Here, there, back and forth, ob-la-di, ob-la-di
Ob-la-di, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
The party is about to start
Don't miss it, come and dance
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
My Pedro plays the trumpet so well
That it reaches even my flip-flop
(if you want to enjoy, sing ob-la-di, ob-la-da)
