Tradición -

Glorita, ¡regálanos una canción!

I have to do the washing.

It’s a grey day here in Miami.

Bring back the sun.

Sing!

¡Guaguancó!

I can’t, I--

Fah la la la la la la la la la la la la!

(spoken)

Washing cleans the clothes, music cleans the soul!

¡Por favor, Glorita!

One song?

Una canción, ¿eh?

(sung)

Fah la la la la la la la la la la la la!

Joyful music for the world

Will be our responsibility

To share with the world our song

Our story to pass along

And our traditions carry on

(Cheers from the neighbors.)

¡Que siga la tradición!

¡Que siga, que siga la tradición!

¡Que siga la tradición!

¡Que siga la tradición!

¡Es mi guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!

¡Que siga la tradición!

¡Que siga, que siga la tradición!

(Instrumental break.)

¡Que siga la tradición!

Tradition, tradition to carry on!

¡Que siga la tradición!

From my soul my Cuba’s never gone!

¡Que siga la tradición!

It’s my guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!

¡Que siga la tradición!

It’s tradition, tradition to carry on!

¡Que siga la tradición!

My beautiful Cuba!

Mi Cubita bella!

¡Que siga!

My beautiful star shines forever in Cuba!

¡Que siga la tradición!

My beautiful Cuba!

Mi Cubita bella!

¡Que siga!

(Instrumental break.)

¡Que siga la tradición!

So that you never forget it!

¡Que siga!

Tradition, tradition, tradition to carry on!

¡Que siga la tradición!

So let your love for our country…

¡Que siga!

Live now and forever!

¡Que siga la tradición!

¡Que siga!

Gloria Maria, this is Emilio Estefan.

He plays music with the Miami Latin Boys!

It’s a pleasure to meet you!

So, your grandmother tells me that you want to be

a professional songwriter.

Oh, is that what she tells you?

I’m actually studying to become a psychologist.

Is that right?

Listen, we practice at my house on Tuesday nights.

Why don’t you come next week?

Maybe if you want you play one of your songs for

us then.

Yeah, Tuesdays are no good

I have class and then work

And after that I have to

Come back here and--

¡Abuela!

Yes!

Yes!

Say yes!

Fine!

She said fine!

That means yes!

Okay, alright!

Good, very good!

I’ll see you then.

Glorita, give us a song!

I have to do the washing.

It's a gray day here in Miami.

Bring back the sun.

Sing!

Guaguanco!

I can't, I--

Fah la la la la la la la la la la!

(spoken)

Washing cleans the clothes, music cleans the soul!

Please, Gloria!

One song?

A song, huh?

(sung)

Fah la la la la la la la la la la!

Joyful music for the world

Will be our responsibility

To share with the world our song

Our story to pass along

And our traditions carry on

(Cheers from the neighbors.)

Let the tradition continue!

Carry on, carry on the tradition!

Let the tradition continue!

Let the tradition continue!

It's my guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!

Let the tradition continue!

Carry on, carry on the tradition!

(Instrumental break.)

Let the tradition continue!

Tradition, tradition to carry on!

Let the tradition continue!

From my soul my Cuba's never gone!

Let the tradition continue!

It's my guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!

Let the tradition continue!

It's tradition, tradition to carry on!

Let the tradition continue!

My beautiful Cuba!

My beautiful cube!

Continue!

My beautiful star shines forever in Cuba!

Let the tradition continue!

My beautiful Cuba!

My beautiful cube!

Continue!

(Instrumental break.)

Let the tradition continue!

So that you never forget it!

Continue!

Tradition, tradition, tradition to carry on!

Let the tradition continue!

So let your love for our country…

Continue!

Live now and forever!

Let the tradition continue!
