Hector Lavoe
I, I am the singer
who you came to hear today
the best in my repertoire,
I'm going to offer it to you.
And I sing to the life
of laughter and pain
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, the singer is starting.
I'm always stopped in the streets
by people who comment
"Hey, Hector! You've got it made,
always with women and at parties."
And no one asks
if I'm suffering, if I'm crying,
if I have a pain
that hurts deeply.
I am the Singer
because singing is what I do
and the public pay
to be able to hear me.
I, I am the singer,
very popular everywhere
but when the show is over
I'm just another human.
And I continue my life
with laughter and pain
with bitter times
and with good things.
I am the singer
and my business is singing
and to those who follow me
I will offer my song.
