These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El que no tenga de sonero el corazón
He who does not have a sonero heart
Que no cante un son
Don't sing a son
El que no sepa bailarlo como es
Those who do not know how to dance it as it is
Que no mueva un pie
Don't move a foot
Aquel que nunca quiso oír a Matamoros
The One Who Never Wanted to Hear Matamoros
Y nunca le hizo coro a su son de la loma
And he never chorused his son of the hill
Que no lo cante ahora
Don't sing it now
Y el que no quiso nunca al bárbaro del ritmo
And he who never wanted the barbarian of rhythm
Al gran Benny Moré, que mal cubano es
To the great Benny Moré, how bad Cuban is
Porque de Cuba es el son
Because Cuba is the son
Y el que se siente cubano
And the one who feels Cuban
Lo lleva en el corazón
He carries it in his heart
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
En el 50 y en el 2000
In the 50s and 2000s
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
No lo metan en la bimba
Don't put it in the bimba
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
No le cambien la camisa
Don't change your shirt
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Déjenlo de guyabera
Leave it guyabera
Que el pueblo lo quiere así
That the people want it that way
Como lo tocaba Arsenio
As Arsenio played it
En los tiempos de mi abuelo
In my grandfather's time
Para entonar la voz
To sing the voice
Para cantarlo corazón
To sing it heart
Para entonar la voz
To sing the voice
Para cantarlo corazón
To sing it heart
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Sigue soneando, sigue soneando
Keep sonringing, keep soning
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Hazme caso que yo sé
Listen to me I know
Que yo sé lo que te digo
That I know what I tell you
(el son sigue ahí)
(the son is still there)
El son está vivo, el son está vivo, el son está vivo
The son is alive, the son is alive, the son is alive
(el son sigue ahí)
(the son is still there)
Ay, no es cubano, no es cubano
Oh, he's not Cuban, he's not Cuban
El que no baila son, mi amigo
The one who does not dance are, my friend
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
El son sigue ahí, sigue ahí
The son is still there, it's still there
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
No quiero, no quiero, quiero que le cambien la camisa
I don't want to, I don't want to, I want his shirt changed
(El son sigue ahí, el son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there, the son is still there)
(El son sigue ahí, el son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there, the son is still there)
El son es lo más sublime
The son is the most sublime
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Para el alma divertir
For the soul to entertain
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Y con el son de la loma, caballero
And with the sound of the hill, gentleman
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Yo me quisiera morir, azúcar
I would like to die, sugar
(El son sigue ahí)
(The son is still there)
Baila ahora con mi son
Dance now with my son
Baila ahora con mi son
Dance now with my son
Baila ahora con mi son
Dance now with my son
Báilalo, el son sigue ahí
Báilalo, the son is still there
