Lyrics
Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber llorado
Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber vivido
Tú tienes que haber soñado…
Y haber reído…
Para ser rumbero tienes que sentir por dentro.
Emociones dulces que agiten tu sentimiento
Si no naciste con clave… entonces no eres rumbero
Podrás cantar con sentido podrás tener buena voz
Pero ser rumbero nunca si te falta corazón
Para ser rumbero tienes que amar a la gente
Y tener el alma tan clara cual sol de oriente
Tú tienes que ser sincero…
Y entonces serás rumbero…
CORO
Si quieres ser rumbero…
Ay tú tienes, tienes que haber llorado
Coro
Oye… que tú tienes que haber vivido.
Coro
Tienes, tienes, tienes que haber soñado.
Coro.
Si quieres ser rumbero tienes primero que haber reído.
Coro
Tienes que amar a la esquina.
Coro
Y entender a la avenida.
Coro
Si tú quieres ser rumbero
Mambo
Coro
Tienes que entender, que nada sabes
Coro
El rompiendo no respeta clave
Coro
Y saber que los tambores
Coro
Son del barrio los pulmones
Coro
Respeta lo popular.
Coro
Tiene que saber cuándo cantar.
Coro
Y también cuando adornar
II mambo
Coro
Si quieres ser, si quieres ser, si quieres ser, si quieres.
Coro
Rumbero tienes que amar a la gente
Coro
Tienes que tener el alma cual sol de oriente.
Coro
Tienes que saber de clave, tienes que tener la llave del barrio.
Coro
De lo que se canta primero, tienes que sentir
Coro
Tienes que tener la experiencia el barrio y como vivir.
Lyrics translation
To be a Rumber you must have cried
To be a Rumber you must have lived
You must have dreamed…
And have laughed…
To be a Rumber you have to feel inside.
Sweet emotions that shake your feeling
If you weren't born with a key ... then you're not rumbero.
You can sing with meaning you can have a good voice
But to be rumbero never if you lack heart
To be a Rumber you have to love people
And to have the soul so clear as the sun of the East
You have to be honest.…
And then you'll be rumbero…
CHOIR
If you want to be rumbero…
Oh you have, you must have cried
Choir
Hey ... you must have lived.
Choir
You have, you have, you must have dreamed.
Choir.
If you want to be a rumbero, you must have laughed first.
Choir
You have to love the corner.
Choir
And understand the avenue.
Choir
If you want to be rumbero
Mambo
Choir
You have to understand, you know nothing
Choir
Breaking does not respect key
Choir
And know that the drums
Choir
They're from the neighborhood the lungs
Choir
Respect the popular.
Choir
He has to know when to sing.
Choir
And also when to adorn
II mambo
Choir
If you want to be, if you want to be, if you want to be, if you want to be.
Choir
Rumbero you have to love people
Choir
You must have the soul like The Sun of the East.
Choir
You have to know the key, you have to have the key to the neighborhood.
Choir
From what you sing first, you have to feel
Choir
You have to have the experience the neighborhood and how to live.
