El Cantante Lyrics in English Marc Anthony

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cantante by Marc Anthony from Spanish to English.
I am the singer that you have come to hear today
The best of the repertoire, I'm going to offer to you
And I sing to life of laughs and sorrows
Of bad moments and of good things, you came to have fun
And you paid at the door, there's no time for sadness
Come on, singer, start
They always stop me on the street, lots of people who comment
Hey Héctor, huh, you're made, always with chicks and at
Parties, and nobody asks if I suffer, if I cry, if I have
A sorrow that hurts very deep
I am the singer, because singing is my thing, the audience
Pays to be able to hear me
I am the singer
Very popular everywhere
But when the show is over I'm just another ordinary human
And I go on with my life with laughs and
Sorrows, with bitter moments and with good things
I am the singer and my business is to sing and to those who
Follow me I'm going to offer my song
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
I'm better than those from yesterday, compare me, critics
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
If you don't love me alive, when I die don't cry for me
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
I sing to you about life, forget your sorrow and your pains
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
Today I dedicate to you, my best calls
My best calls
Today I dedicate to you, my best calls
Dance if you wanna dance, sing if you wanna sing, babe
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
I am the singer let's celebrate I don't want sadness
Singing is my thing, to sing
Today I dedicate to you my best calls
There are those who sing with a skirt, I sing with pants
Today I dedicate to you my best calls

SONG MEANING

Step right up, the spotlight is on! In “El Cantante,” Marc Anthony slips into the shoes of the show-stopping performer who greets a buzzing crowd ready for good vibes, big brass, and contagious rhythm. He promises “lo mejor del repertorio” and urges everyone to dance, sing, and forget their worries. Onstage he is larger than life, a magnet for applause, rumors, and headlines that paint him as an unstoppable party machine.

But behind the curtain there is a very human heartbeat. The lyrics peel back the glitter to reveal a man who also suffers, cries, and wrestles with lonely moments once the music fades. Fame pays the bills, yet it won’t shield him from heartache. Still, he keeps delivering his “mejores pregones” – energetic vocal calls that lift the room – because entertaining is both his calling and his escape. “El Cantante” is a salsa anthem celebrating the power of music to unite and heal while reminding us that every shining star carries hidden shadows.
