Para Ser Rumbero - Rubén Blades

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.

To be a rumbero you have to have cried

To be a rumbero you have to have lived

You must have dreamed...

And having laughed...

To be a rumbero you have to feel inside.

Sweet emotions that stir your feeling

If you weren't born with a password... then you're not a rumbero

You can sing with meaning you can have a good voice

But never be a rumbero if you lack heart

To be a rumbero you have to love people

And have a soul as clear as an eastern sun

You have to be honest...

And then you will be a rumbero…

CHORUS

If you want to be a rumbero…

Oh you have, you must have cried

Chorus

Hey… you have to have lived.

Chorus

You have, you have, you must have dreamed.

Chorus.

If you want to be a rumbero you first have to have laughed.

Chorus

You have to love the corner.

Chorus

And understand the avenue.

Chorus

If you want to be a rumbero

Mambo

Chorus

You have to understand, that you know nothing

Chorus

The breaking does not respect key

Chorus

And know that the drums

Chorus

The lungs are from the neighborhood

Chorus

Respect the popular.

Chorus

You have to know when to sing.

Chorus

And also when to decorate

II mambo

Chorus

If you want to be, if you want to be, if you want to be, if you want to be

Chorus

Rumbero you have to love people

Chorus

You have to have the soul like an eastern sun.

Chorus

You have to know the key, you have to have the key to the neighborhood.

Chorus

Of what is sung first, you have to feel

Chorus

You have to have the experience of the neighborhood and how to live.
