Hombre De Blues

Today I want to tell you
that I'm a blues man
and that I haven't received
any education
other than what the neighborhood and the city have given me,
the voice of my people
the folk song.
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
that's not going to change.
If they amplify my voice
above all else;
in the things I say
I can't go wrong,
that's why I affirm
that to not make mistakes;
I sing what I feel
because that's my truth.
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
and that's not going to change.
There are only three tones
that I can play;
more than enough
if I know how to express myself.
All I want
is to be able to reveal
that I'm not foreign
to popular feeling.
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
I'm a blues man;
that's not going to change.
I'm a blues man;
that's not going to change.
I'm a blues man;
that's not going to change.
