Paroles et traduction Rubén Blades - Para Ser Rumbero

Para Ser Rumbero

Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber llorado
Para ser rumbero tú tienes que haber vivido
Tú tienes que haber soñado
Y haber reído

Para ser rumbero tienes que sentir por dentro.
Emociones dulces que agiten tu sentimiento
Si no naciste con clave entonces no eres rumbero
Podrás cantar con sentido podrás tener buena voz
Pero ser rumbero nunca si te falta corazón

Para ser rumbero tienes que amar a la gente
Y tener el alma tan clara cual sol de oriente
Tú tienes que ser sincero
Y entonces serás rumbero

To Be a Rumbero

To be a rumbero you have to have cried
To be a rumbero you have to have lived
You have to have dreamed
And have laughed

To be a rumbero you have to feel inside.
Sweet emotions that stir your feelings
If you weren't born with clave then you are not a rumbero
You can sing with feeling, you can have a good voice
But you will never be a rumbero if you lack heart

To be a rumbero you have to love people
And have a soul as clear as the eastern sun
You have to be sincere
And then you will be a rumbero
