Aquello años sesenta tiempo que ya no volveraaa
Recordando aquella calle.
Que feliz me siento yo el partido de bola de trapo
Y el juego de domino.
Mis amigos en el barrio nunca los olvidares las
Cerveza en las esquinas y el piano de richi rey.
Ay ay ay aquello años sesenta...
Aquello tiempo felices de la gran vida de la 100 vacilando
En la casa del flaco bailando gozando hasta el amanecer...
Ay ay ay aquello años sesenta...
Ay ay ay aquellos a los setenta ...
De esa gente de mi barrio yo nunca me olvidares echando
Cuento la esquina paro para la noche cuidado que viene la ley
Ay ay ay aquello años sesenta
Ay ay ay aquellos a los setenta
Esta es la salsa de siempre la que traigo yo.
Preparen ce bailadores que hay viene raíces con mas saboorrr...
Eeeeeee pa...
Que viva la salsa...
Que viva la salsa...
Quiero de nuevo escuchar el piano de richy rey
Y por que siempre perdure la cosa de cheo ismael.
Que viva la salsa...
Que viva la salsa...
Un tributo a los gigante rey barreto y tito
Fuentes la ponceña tu queria ese gran combo de siempre
Que viva la salsa
Que viva la salsa
Yo recuerdo a hector lavoe también a rey de boobaloo y para
La reina de la rumba su majestad la de celia cruz azúcar y se
Soltaron los caballo
Otra ve...
