Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si silueta todos la conocen
En mi cuadra Toño es famoso
Su trompeta inunda la calle
Un sombrero viejo, un bote con monedas
Su perro va pasando y ladra al compas
música sabrosa el sol calando fuerte
Toño muy lento guarda sus monedas
Camina buscando una esquina pa' tocar
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
Ay viene Toño
En mi cuadra Toño es famoso su silueta todos la conocen
En mi cuadra Toño es famoso su trompeta inunda la calle
Un mercado viejo los vendedores gritan
La güera de los tacos le pide una canción
Y cuando cae la tarde esuna cantina
El mejor lugar pa' tocar un buen danzon
Toño tranquilo guarda su trompeta
La noche en el barrio acaba de llegar
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
Toca la trompeta, suena en toda la ciudad
