Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oye Mi Consejo by Celia Cruz from Spanish to English.
Oye mi consejo que el que
Listen to my advice that the one who
No oye consejos
Doesn't listen to advice
No llega a viejo
Doesn't reach old age
El que venga aquí a cantar
Whoever comes here to sing
Que lo haga con fundamento
Should do it with substance
Y enseñe conocimiento
And teach knowledge
De la escala musical
Of the musical scale
A todos quiero aguzar
I want to sharpen everyone
Para que tengan presente
So that they keep in mind
Que es mejor entre la gente
That it's better among people
Cantar bien o no cantar oye mi consejo
To sing well or not sing, listen to my advice
Que el que no oye consejos no llega a viejo
That the one who doesn't listen to advice doesn't reach old age
