Esto Es El Guaguancó
Cheo Feliciano
This Is the Guaguancó
For me, the guaguancó is a new dawn
it's the sadness that makes me smile every morning
it's what comes from the neighborhood deep inside my soul
what seeps through my very heart
what drives wild feelings in my veins
what makes my heart race with emotion
for me, all of that is guaguancó
for me, all of that is guaguancó.
It's more than the girl who shakes
her hips like a revolution
it goes beyond the beat of a drum
and even love feels like a guaguancó.
For me, the guaguancó is a new dawn
because in my soul it lit up like a light
it's a penetrating force of truth
it's the rhythm that brings me happiness
it's the rhythm that brings me happiness.
Chorus:
(This is the guaguancó, this is the guaguancó).
Come on, partygoer, they're calling you to the good party
so you can enjoy it like I do.
Come on, come on, come on, come on to enjoy
then don’t say it got lost.
If everyone’s enjoying it,
if everyone’s dancing
dance it like I do.
Because right there, just right there,
just right there, just right there,
the good party, I bring the party.
This is the tasty rumba
this is the guaguancó.
Hey, I finally found what was missing
and the one who was missing was me.
Since you asked me for salsa
here’s my guaguancó.
Hey, let it sound, sound,
let the tasty quinto play
because the party is on.
Guaguancó is the most sublime
and here’s my guaguancó.
