El Son De Celia Y Oscar

Celia Cruz, I sing to you
Because you are my inspiration
It comes from the heart
To offer you my song

An excited sonero
Has no comparison
I, an excited sonero
You have no comparison

Oscar D'León, you are
For the whole world
A perfect gentleman
Friend unconditionally

Among the best soneros
I say it from the heart
Among the best soneros
I say it from the heart

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

Cuba has had soneros
Like Barroso and El Benny
And María Teresa Vera
Sang with a lot of swing

Yours has no end
Like you, there is no other like
You are like aged wine
More delicious to the palate

Now that you talk to me about El Benny
That great friend of mine
Who in heaven caused a stir
When he heard your song

He felt very proud
When they heard you singing
Because you sing deliciously, Oscar
No one can match you

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

I ask for forgiveness, I tell you
To your little cotton mouth
I am in love
With your rhythm and your son

You sang to the herb seller
Carlitos Pinar del Río
With your 'azúcar' I laugh
And you have no comparison

With your bass you make the orchestra
You play it with joy
And as you dreamed one day
Now you have by your side your beloved son

(To my nephew)
Who keeps you company
The orchestra got better
It's as you wanted

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
(who made my son famous)
(all over the world)

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Look, look Celia, I was looking at you
And I stayed still

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Oh, Venezuela, you brought out a roaring lion
In the whole world

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Look, I learned to sing, Celia
With your songbook

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Although people may doubt it
Oscar de León and I are the first

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Cuba and Venezuela
Tremendous school

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
Oscar and I have already sung
And for a big market, the dream achieved

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
My dear children
May God bless them, you say it

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
But the first is you, the first is you
That's why I respect you

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
But what a beautiful voice my black woman has
But what a look, the perfect sound

(Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León)
(are among the first)
In Venezuela we sing guajiro
And there a nest has formed... dove!

There you have what the audience wanted...
The black woman and her black man!
