Lyrics
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Que me pone lo' pie' a bailar
A la hermana Antonia allá en la capital
que el Señor le da un gozo y la fiesta ya va a empezar
Dile a Mamá Sara que salga a predicar
Que el Señor la da un gozo
Que le pone lo' pie' a bailar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar (ay, caramba)
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Que me pone lo pie' a bailar
Ve dile a Jorgito allá en Nueva York
Que este gozo se pega y le alegra su corazón
Y como aspirina yo lo comprobé
El Señor quita pena
Pero no es por vista es por fe Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar (te lo dije)
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Que me pone lo' pie' a bailar
Imagínate un gozo (gozo, gozo)
Que te pone lo' pie' a bailar
Y repíteme el gozo (gozo, gozo)
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Quiero alabar (eh)
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Que me pone lo' pie' a bailar
Dijo en el Principio «hágase la luz»
Me formó con sus manos y pintó su Cielo de azul
Todos tus cabellos él ya los contó
Y me gozo y me gozo
Porque así de bueno es mi Dios
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar (ay, caram…)
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Vamos a celebrar, vamos a celebrar
Que el Señor me dio un gozo
Que te pone lo' pie' a bailar
Imagínate un gozo (gozo, gozo)
Que te pone lo' pie' a bailar
Y repíteme el gozo (gozo, gozo)
Lo que yo quiero es alabar
Quiero alabar (eh)
O… joye
Lyrics translation
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
What I want is praise
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
That makes me 'foot' to dance
To sister Antonia there in the capital
that the Lord gives you a joy and the feast is about to begin
Tell mama Sara to go out and preach.
That the Lord gives her a joy
That makes him 'foot' to dance
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate (ay, caramba)
That the Lord gave me a joy
What I want is praise
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
That makes me walk ' to dance
Go tell Jorgito back in New York.
That this joy sticks and rejoices his heart
And as aspirin I checked it
The Lord takes pity
But it's not by sight it's by faith let's celebrate, let's celebrate (I told you)
That the Lord gave me a joy
What I want is praise
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
That makes me 'foot' to dance
Imagine a joy (joy, joy)
That makes you 'foot' to dance
And repeat to me the joy (joy, joy)
What I want is praise
I want to praise (eh)
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
What I want is praise
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
That makes me 'foot' to dance
He said in the beginning " let the light be made»
He formed me with his hands and painted his Sky Blue
All your hair he already counted
And I rejoice and I rejoice
'Cause that's how good my God is
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate (Oh, caram…)
That the Lord gave me a joy
What I want is praise
Let's celebrate, let's celebrate
That the Lord gave me a joy
That makes you 'foot' to dance
Imagine a joy (joy, joy)
That makes you 'foot' to dance
And repeat to me the joy (joy, joy)
What I want is praise
I want to praise (eh)
Joye
