Tradicion

Qu alegra s seor...

Aqu con toda mi gente

Y con gran admiracin

Brindo esta celebracin

De mis raices trascendentes

Yo les traigo un gaganco

Para que nunca te olvides

De este ritmo sin igual

Y con eso despertar

El orgullo de tu origen

Qu alegra s seor

De mi uba a todo el mundo

Yo no s quien lo empez

Para aqul que lo invent

Yo le rindo este tributo

Y aunque el tiempo pasar

Es nuestra responsabilidad

A travs de la cancin

Servir como educacin

Y seguir la tradicin...

Que siga la tradicin

Im so happy, yes sir

Here with all my people

And with great admiration

I offer this celebration of my roots

I bring you this guaguanco (another typical afro-cuban thythm)

So youll never forget this unusual rhythm

And to awaken your pride in your origins

Im so happy, yes sir

From my cuba to all the world

I dont know how it began

But to whoever invented it

I now offer this tribute

And although time will pass

Its our responsibility, through song

To serve as an education and

To continue the tradition

May the tradition continue ^[1]
