Diagnóstico Lyrics in English Celia Cruz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diagnóstico by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
Un día como a todo el mundo me dio un resfrío
One day, like everyone else, I caught a cold
Y fui como todo el mundo a ver al doctor
And I went, like everyone else, to see the doctor
Y cuando me tomó el pulso, el médico se extrañó
And when he took my pulse, the doctor was surprised
Con cara de preocupado me examinó
With a worried face, he examined me
Me dijo: 'No reconozco tales sonidos
He said: 'I don't recognize such sounds
Que suenan como maracas, clave y bongó'
That sound like maracas, claves, and bongos'
Y yo le dije riendo: 'Doctor, lo que usted está oyendo
And I said, laughing: 'Doctor, what you're hearing
Es el sonido del son en mi corazón'
Is the sound of the son in my heart'
Ay, yo llevo el son
Oh, I carry the son
A mí me suena el son
The rhythm resonates within me
Que por el son tiene la razón de vivir latiendo mi corazón
Because the rhythm gives my heart the reason to live
Yo llevo el son
I carry the rhythm
A mí me suena el son
The rhythm resonates within me
Que por el son tiene la razón de vivir latiendo mi corazón
Because the rhythm gives my heart the reason to live
Doctor, si chequea mi sangre, no se me asombre
Doctor, if you check my blood, don't be surprised
Con los niveles de azúcar que en mí es normal
By the sugar levels, which are normal for me
Recuerde que soy oriunda de la tierra más fecunda
Remember that I am from the most fertile land
Y por las venas me corre un cañaveral
And a sugarcane field runs through my veins
Y en mi garganta oirá cantar al sinsonte
And in my throat you will hear the mockingbird sing
Y escuchará en mis pulmones brisa del mar
And you will hear the sea breeze in my lungs
También llevo en las caderas el vaivén de las palmeras
I also carry in my My hips sway like the palm trees
Y llevo en la piel la noche tropical
And I carry the tropical night on my skin
Es que llevo el son
Because I carry the rhythm
A mí me suena el son
The rhythm resonates within me
Que por el son tiene la razón de vivir latiendo mi corazón
Because the rhythm gives my heart the reason to live
Yo llevo el son
I carry the rhythm
A mí me suena el son
The rhythm resonates within me
Que por el son tiene la razón de vivir latiendo mi corazón
Because the rhythm gives my heart the reason to live
No se te olvide que tengo el corazón y también la clave
Don't forget that I have the heart and also the clave
Ay, yo tengo azúcar, llevo la clave
Oh, I have sugar, I carry the clave
Yo tengo el son en el corazón, en el corazón
I have the rhythm in my heart, in my heart
Tengo la clave, tengo el bongó y tengo a Cuba en mi corazón
I have the clave, I have the bongos, and I have Cuba in my heart
Ay, que por el son tiene la razón de vivir latiendo mi corazón
Oh, because the rhythm gives my heart the reason to live
