El Son |
The Sound (Héctor Lavoe) I'll sing you a Puerto Rican sound That comes from an inland mountain In order to meet The one who feels like a brother I'll sing you a Puerto Rican sound With its rhythm and its joy So that day by day You have the satisfaction Of hearing the delicious sound That makes my fatherland happy Chorus: I'll bring you a Puerto Rican sound The Puerto Rican sound I composed for you Hey pretty mama and hear it Titi A Ponce sound, Puerto Rico. Squeeze it, squeeze it softly Take it to the corner and squeeze it Even though you don't want me to, I'm off to work I'm off, I'm off, I'm off to work A sound which comes from the mountain Where the little peasant bathes * In the river or in the sea Dance to it, move your hips Eh! How my black girl moves and how delicious When the sound gets her enjoying Even though you don't want me to, I'm off to work I'm off, I'm off, I'm off to work Hey how delicious and good it is Juana dances it right Pepe dances it the other way round But the Puerto Rican sound looks so good Squeeze the pretty girl good 'Cos the sound came from Puerto Rico |

Editor's note: * The word jíbaro in Puerto Rico means a man from the countryside, especially a small landowner or humble farmer from far up in the mountains. Jíbaro is a term strongly associated with preserving the traditional values and the culture of the Island.
