La Perla

The Pearl
Guaguancó for The Pearl, from Puerto Rico
The Pearl, The Pearl hides its sadness
And that watercolor of poverty
That plays a little with beauty
And no one tells its pain
And The Pearl, where patriots are buried
Oh, it has a desire that is not noticed
A bitterness of a broken wing
And it never deserved it
Oh, in its Sunday joy
Of its streets without sidewalks
A call to the heart
It's a suburb of poor people
Of noble citizenship, who earn their bread with sweat
And The Pearl, your youth dreams of a tomorrow
Oh, let's give it hope
With prompt help
With joy and with love
To connect with The Pearl, The Pearl
When I go to San Juan, Puerto Rico
I never miss The Pearl
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
But the sea knocked down my little house
But since I like the noise, I rebuilt it
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Good rumbero if you don't know
Look, I'll teach you to love it
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Where patriots are buried
Youth with a broken wing
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Cumbara cumbara cumbara cumbara cumbara cumbara
For good rumba, rumbero
It forms in The Pearl
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Listen well
So you can enjoy, rumbero, rumbero
I see you in The Pearl
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Chimboró
But how cool, how cool The Pearl is
Let's go!
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Don't sing far, I find myself
Good rumbero, I won't die without seeing her
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Yimboro, Yimboro, Yimboro, Yimboro was formed
My tasty rumba, I tell you in The Pearl
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
Cumbara cumbara cumbara cumbara cumbara
Take the good dancing, I tell you, you have to love it
For The Pearl, this guaguancó is for The Pearl
For the people of Guaypao
And for those of San Miguel
Let's go!
Listen Rigo, play the drum
Let it sound here!
This Guaguancó is for The Pearl
That no no no, I won't die without seeing The Pearl
This Guaguancó is for The Pearl
Listen well, good rumbero
This Guaguancó is for The Pearl
Here a cool rumba is formed
This Guaguancó is for The Pearl
I'll teach you to love it
This Guaguancó is for The Pearl
