The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Moreno Soy" by Sonora Ponceña.
Lyrics
Nací moreno porque así tenía que ser
Por mi color soy muy fácil de entender
Cantando voy haciendo el mundo feliz
Yo soy candela para los pies hasta morir
Nací moreno porque así tenía que ser
Y en mi cantar le voy a explicar porque
Yo nací y mi madre fue la rumba
Y a mi padre lo apodaban guaguancó
Me bautizaron con tres toques de conga
En un manantial de sabor
Moreno soy porque nací de la rumba
Y el sabor yo le heredé del guaguancó
Señores nací moreno, soy moreno con sabor
Por eso yo fui llamado con tres toques de tambor
El día que nací yo nacieron tres cosas bellas
Nació el sol, nació la luna, y nacieron las estrellas
Dílo Papo Luca!
Vaya!
Lyrics translation
I was born Brown because it had to be
Because of my color I am very easy to understand
Singing I'm making the world happy
I am candle for the feet to die
I was born Brown because it had to be
And in my singing I'm going to explain why
I was born and my mother was the rumba
And my father was nicknamed guaguancó
I was baptized with three touches of conga
In a spring of flavor
Moreno I am because I was born from the rumba
And the taste I inherited from guaguancó
Gentlemen I was born Brown, I'm Brown with flavor
That's why I was called with three drum touches
The day I was born I was born three beautiful things
The sun was born, the moon was born, and the stars were born
Say It Papo Luca!
Wow!
