Lyrics and translation Diomedes Díaz - Cantando

Cantando

Esta vida que yo tengo
És muy bonita, és muy bonita

Pa' que no se me acabara
Fuera bendita, fuera bendita
Pa' poder vivir cerquita
De las cosas que mas quiero
Que no me pusiera viejo
Pa' estar siempre jovencito
Ay cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

A la edad de quince años
Ya yo cantaba, ya yo cantaba

Y a los veintidós cumplidos
Ya yo grababa, ya yo grababa
Ya la gente comenzaba
A valorizar mi canto
Y al lado del gran Colacho
Me llené de requisitos
Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

He vivido todo el tiempo
Enamorado de una morena

La que meritoriamente
Hizo que fuera yo el dueño de ella
La pobre ha salio tan buena
Pero casi vive sola
Porque salgo a toda hora
A cumplir mis compromisos
Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Vivo muy agradecido
De aquella gente que me acompaña

Por donde quiera que voy
Cada dia mas dandome fama
Yo no sé cómo se paga
Ese gesto tan bonito
Quiero repartir mi alma
Dandole a todo' un poquito
Ay cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Cantando, cantando, cantando versos bonitos

Singing

This life I have
It is very beautiful, it is very beautiful

In order for it not to end
It must be blessed, it must be blessed
So that I can live very near
To what I love the most
That I never grow old
So that I can always stay young
Oh singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

At the age of fifteen
I was already singing, I was already singing

And when I turned twenty-two
I was already recording, I was already recording
People were already beginning
To appreciate my singing
And with the help of the great Colacho
I got everything I needed
Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

I have always been
In love with a girl with light brown skin

She is the one
Who made me the owner of her heart
That poor girl is so good
But she usually lives by herself
Because I'm always going out
To meet my obligations
Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

I am so grateful
For those of you who accompany me

Wherever I go
Each day helping me become even more well-known
I don't know how I could repay
Such beautiful gestures
I want to share my soul
Giving Everyone a little something
Oh singing, singing, singing beautiful verses

Singing, singing, singing beautiful verses
