El Cañonazo
Maracaibo 15
The Cannon Shot
It's time to toast with joy
It's time to toast with joy
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug (give me a hug)
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
I was singing a melody
Bidding farewell to the year with melancholy
I was singing a melody
Bidding farewell to the year with melancholy
And he's very sad with his suitcases at the door
And his eyes fixed on the cathedral clock
I know old year that you won't come back
(I know old year that you won't come back)
It's time to toast with joy
It's time to toast with joy
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug (give me a hug)
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
When it's twelve and your ship is gone
You'll be present in my chest
When it's twelve and your ship is gone
You'll be present in my chest
Because you left so many memories inside me
And in the new year, I may erase them from my existence
And I, old year, will toast for you
(And I, old year, will toast for you)
It's time to toast with joy
It's time to toast with joy
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug (give me a hug)
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
They run through the streets of many places
Men, children heading home
They run through the streets of many places
Men, children heading home
They look for their mother to embrace her tightly
Because in the air, a rumor is heard of a cannon shot
Happy New Year, I want to wish you
(Happy New Year in family unity)
It's time to toast with joy
It's time to toast with joy
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug (give me a hug)
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
Give me a hug
Give me a hug
It's about to strike twelve and the cannon shot will sound
