El Nazareno
Celia Cruz
The Nazarene
I was having a blast
I was having a blast
I went to see what was going on
When I was having fun
And starting to dance
I heard a voice come out of nowhere
What a look on your face
It shows pure joy
But it’s surrounded by so much hypocrisy,
It’s the Nazarene
Who gives you good advice
To whom, don’t look at who
Help the fallen, and if they’ve been
Real bad, lend a hand too
Do good to your friends
And offer them your friendship
And you’ll see that bad things
Will never come near you
Instead, all the good
Will always be with you
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
That little saint told me, Celia
You gotta look out for your friends
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
I have a concept of friendship
I take care of my friends, and that’s the truth
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
The Nazarene told me
To take care of my friends
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
He’s truly miraculous, I swear
I have him in my house by chance
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
Oh, the Nazarene, the Nazarene, the Nazarene
Told me, Celia, take care of your friends
(The Nazarene told me)
(To take care of my friends)
On October 21st, his day is celebrated
(To take care of my friends)
And on that same day, my mother brought me to this world
(To take care of my friends)
Because the Nazarene told me
(To take care of my friends)
I have many, I have many, I have many friends
(To take care of my friends)
And I’m sure I don’t have any enemies
(To take care of my friends)
