La Salsa Vive
Tito Nieves
Salsa Lives
I fell asleep listening to salsa
I dreamed of heaven and that Saint Peter was waiting for me
There was a huge party going on
And Hector Lavoe and Pete El Conde were singing
And I felt the sensational timbale resound
It was Tito Puente
And he started to improvise
Frankie Ruiz made himself known
And I hear this angelic chorus
Salsa lives, it reaches heaven
May God bless the tradition
Of our people
The Salsa does not die
My eyes teared up when they introduced
The unmistakable, the immortal Pete Rodriguez
But that madness began when
Ismael Rivera took the stage
And Tito Rodriguez was something to see
And together with them I sang
Sugar
Salsa lives, it reaches heaven
May God bless the tradition
Of our people
And when I woke up, I cried with joy
The joy of knowing they are where they deserved
Salsa lives, it reaches heaven
May God bless the tradition
Of our people
In heaven, a chorus is heard
A chorus so happy
Hector Lavoe, Pete El Conde
Ismael, Tito, and Frankie Ruiz
Salsa lives, it reaches heaven
May God bless the tradition
Of our people
Salsa lives, I tell you the truth!
May God have them in glory!
That thing was the thing
Like the firm Tito Santa Rossa
Blessed Tito
I will sing at the same time
It asks me that in all those who have gone
I was inspired by this verse
Although they are not with us
But their memory lives on and the music continues
And now comes our brother
Cheo Feliciano
This is pure joy
And there is no one who denies it
(Cheo sings)
Feliciano greets you
How, how are all of you?
I celebrate my friends
With my brother Tito Nieves
Hey family and they let loose again!
(Salsa lives)
The salsa lives in my heart
(Salsa lives)
And I ask the salsa lovers
Who remain to take care of it
(Salsa lives)
The salsa keeps playing
Look beautiful in its molinés
(Salsa lives)
The nobility of salsa
That's why it continues and continues
(Salsa lives)
And those who have passed away
Also gave it to you
Thank you!
(Salsa lives)
The salsa lives
(Reaches heaven)
Reaches heaven
May God bless the tradition
Of our people
