La Candela
Celia Cruz
The Candle
Listen to me, dark-skinned girl, I beg you
that I desire and need
your fire to function.
A boat doesn't sail without its sail
I don't work without fire
of the good kind to enjoy.
Your fire,
your fire and my fire
is the fire.
Give me the good one to enjoy
and everything will go better.
Your fire is what always
makes me lose control.
Crush,
crush because this time is the fire.
Good salsa you will see
with fire you will go from night to morning
and you will never stop.
This is my secret and I tell you
that the key is the fire that I carry in my heart.
The flavor that runs through my veins
and this rhythm that fills is the magic that I have.
Your fire,
your fire and my fire
is the fire.
Give me the good one to enjoy
and everything will go better.
Your fire is what always
makes me lose control.
Crush,
crush because this time is the fire.
Good salsa you will see
with fire you will go from night to morning
and you will never stop.
