Mi Vida Es Cantar Lyrics in English Celia Cruz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Vida Es Cantar by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
Cantar para mí es como ser dueña del universo
Singing, for me, is like owning the universe
Poder expresar con mi voz lo que llevo por dentro
Being able to express with my voice what I carry inside
Hacerles a ustedes sentir sensaciones grandiosas
Making you feel great sensations
Y en siete notas conjugar cantando muchas cosas
And singing in seven notes, combining many things
Y cuando la magia de algún son invade poco a poco el corazón
And when the magic of some song slowly invades the heart
Me envuelvo con su ritmo sabrosón y el sentimiento
I wrap myself in its delicious rhythm and feeling
Siento los cueros repicar y mi cuerpo no cesa de bailar
I feel my heartbeats ringing and my body never stops dancing
Dejándome llevar por el compás, qué bien me siento
Letting myself be carried away by the beat, how good I feel
Cantando yo viajo al mundo, brindándoles sentimiento
Singing, I travel the world, giving you feeling
Tres amores tengo dentro de mi alegre corazón
I have three loves inside my joyful heart
Cuba bella, el son, la rumba y mi cabecita de algodón
Beautiful Cuba, the son, the rumba, and my little cotton head
Lo que soy es la gracia de Dios
What I am is the grace of God
Su amor me dio este talento
His love gave me this talent
Que te brindo con mi voz, con mi voz
That I offer you with my voice, with my voice
Qué cosa bella, mi gente, que me ha traído hasta aquí
What a beautiful thing, my people, that has brought me here
Es que yo nací cantante y quisieron que fuera actriz, y lo hice

¡Azúcar!
Sugar!
Donde quiera que me llamen
Wherever they call me
Ahí yo tengo que cantar
there I have to sing
Y es que yo nací cantante
and it's because I was born a singer
Así voy a terminar
that's how I'll end up
Lo mismo canto en Europa

Y en América Central
and in Central America
Después me voy para el Asia

Y hasta el sur voy a parar
and I'll end up all the way south

Los cinco continentes me conocen ya

¡Azúcar, azúcar!
Sugar, sugar!
Qué lindo es cantarle al mundo
How wonderful it is to sing to the world
Y sentir su aplauso hermoso
and feel its beautiful applause
Señores, cuando les canto, miren
Gentlemen, when I sing to you, look
Que yo lo vivo y lo gozo

Les dejo mi vida, mi voz
I leave you my life, my voice
Muchas gracias por tanto amor
