Intro

I was born where life made me a man
Surrounded by good people
Excited by the idea of being great
Avoiding pain and sorrow
I was born among dark streets
I was born where I live
I was born where undoubtedly
For many people it's forbidden

Here I have dreamed of life
Here I have played with luck
Here evil is forbidden
Among us
Among my people
I proudly call it the neighborhood
Outsiders call it the neighborhood
And the honor of being born here
I attribute it to myself
I am who I am in my own way
From the neighborhood
But from a Fine Neighborhood
Like my people
People who fight
People who feel
I'm not from a neighborhood
Adrift
Still active
No

I am from the neighborhood
But from a Fine Neighborhood
And from there a young man is born
Who didn't know what destiny had prepared for him
Destiny that led him to music
Which has given him great satisfactions
And great rewards
But none of them
Have as much meaning for him
As the love
And respect of his audience
Yankee!
