Yo Viviré (I Will Survive)

Celia Cruz Celia Cruz

I Will Survive

My voice can fly, it can go through
Any wound, any time
Any loneliness, without being able to control it
It takes the form of a song, that's my voice
That comes from my heart
And it will fly, without me wanting
Through the farthest paths
Through the dreams I dreamed
It will be a reflection of the love of what I had to live
It will be the background music of all that I felt

Listen to my sound, my old sound
It has the key to any generation
In the soul of my people, in the drum skin
In the hands of the conguero, in the feet of the dancer
I will live, I will be there
While a parade passes by, I will sing my rumba
I will always be what I was, with my sugar for you
I will live, I will live

And now I remember again, that time back
When I left looking for the sky of freedom
How many friends I left behind and how many tears I cried
I will live, to meet them again
And I will continue, with my song
Dancing hot music like I do
And when a guaracha plays
And when a Guaguancó plays
In the blood of my people, in their bodies I will be

Listen to my sound, my old sound
It has the key to any generation
In the soul of my people, in the drum skin
In the hands of the conguero, in the feet of the dancer
I will live, I will be there
While a parade passes by, I will sing my rumba
I will always be what I was, with my sugar for you
I will live, I will live

Listen to my sound, my old sound
It has the key to any generation
In the soul of my people, in the drum skin
In the hands of the conguero, in the feet of the dancer
I will live, I will be there
While a parade passes by, I will sing my rumba
I will always be what I was, with my sugar for you
I will live, I will live

(Surviving)
In this life what I am doing
Surviving
I am surviving, I am surviving
(Surviving)
So that people keep listening to me

(Breaking barriers, I am surviving
Crossing borders, I am surviving)
I thank God for this gift
He gave me the voice and I have given it to you
With pleasure!
(Breaking barriers, I am surviving
Crossing borders, I am surviving)
For you my people I will always sing
I will give you my sugar, damn it, and I will survive
(Breaking barriers, I am surviving
Crossing borders, I am surviving)
I will live, I will live, I will live and survive
