La Dicha Mía
Celia Cruz Johnny Pacheco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there, I became a singer of songs
They led me to the great mamboleros
In all of cuba, the toast of the town
Singing at the tropicana
My fantasies finally came true
Imagine, going to new york
We saw arsenio with his singing bandit
And señor rodríguez, that magical man
I took this earthquake to el barrio,
That hot and from mi gente
Lucky me, I saw my tito
Ay dios mío, el excelente
Listening to my machito, dancing, drinking vino
Machito was for us el latino
He made it up in
It didn't disappoint our
At the ball, with tito puento
Tito puento the king of them all
With tito puente, you'd be so glad to dance
El rey tito puente, at a glance
When tito finished playing
How could anything feel so low
Surprise came tito rodríguez
With his conjunto, to top it all
Bere to tito, that only one
Better for dancing the only one
El señor me dio la dicha (negra)
Con tito puente y cantar con tito rodríguez
(esa dicha me la dio el señor)
Ven a gozar con la dicha, a gozar con la dicha
(esa dicha me la dio el señor)
(esa dicha me la dio el señor)
Ay yo le canto
(esa dicha me la dio el señor)
Y al que dios se lo dio san pedro se lo bendiga
