Paraíso de Dulzura
Héctor Lavoe
Paradise of Sweetness
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
I come from the land
Of sweetness
Where am I going?
I'm going to spread richness
The rich and lively flavor
That Puerto Rico can give
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lai, lo le lo la
I distribute it
Wherever I go
In valleys, mountains
And the meadows
With my singing
Rich and unmatched
Whoever listens to me, I make them enjoy
Whoever listens to me, I make them enjoy
(Says!)
I come from the paradise of sweetness
That's what real flavor is
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
A la la eh, my partner
My guaguancó if it's tasty
You see
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Borinquen, the land of Eden
The one that Gautier the great
That's why he called
The pearl of the seas
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Oh, from paradise is the sweetness
Puerto Rico is flavor
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Listen, I come from Borinquen
That's why I have salsa, flavor, and control
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
And come and dance the rich plena
Elena's rich bonbon
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Mommy dances with flavor
Mommy moves her waist
Lo le lo lai
I sing like this
Jibarito swears it
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
In my jibarita I find
The earrings that the Moon is missing
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Listen, she has the good dough
Mommy, that's the hard dough
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
That's why I love my mommy so much
Jibarito doesn't rush
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Hard dough with bread
That's what you have
Hard dough with bread
The black man wants you, you see
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
That land drives me crazy
That land is my madness
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Puerto Rico, I adore you
Holy land, pure land
(Where do I come from)
(It's from paradise, it's sweetness)
Oh, come and see my land
If you doubt my word
