Así Se Compone Un Son

To compose a son
You need a reason
And a constructive theme
And also inspiration

It's like making a seasoning
With all the ingredients
Oh, you have to be patient
Or you'll lose control
And the dancer who doesn't dance
Can't enjoy it, brother, listen well

To compose a son
You need a reason
And a constructive theme
And also inspiration

When you have the reason
Apply it with the theme
This way with this system
You'll never fail, brother
Then add inspiration
And Cuban feeling, listen well

But add a little bit of spice to everything
Apply it with the theme and you'll see what the son is
This is how a son is composed

The son that is born deep in the heart
This is how a son is composed

But add a little bit of spice to everything
This is how a son is composed
Give it a tasty little shake
This is how a son is composed
This is how a son is composed, this is how a son is composed
This is how a son is composed

But mama, mama, listen well to the inspiration
It comes from the heart but so playful
This is how a son is composed
This is how a very tasty son is composed
This is how a son is composed

Apply it with the theme and with that system
You'll never fail with the son
This is how a son is composed

The son that is born deep in the heart
This is how a son is composed
Hey good mama, good mama, look how rich and fun
This is how a son is composed
Hey, just a little sway, a tasty son
This is how a son is composed
Alright, Miguelito
This is how a son is composed

This is how a very tasty son is composed
This is how a son is composed
And I come from deep in the mountains, I have flavor
This is how a son is composed
Add a little bit of ajiaco, mama
This is how a son is composed
Don't come to me with stories I don't like
When I come singing my son
This is how a son is composed
