La Fama

I am fame
I am sadness and a paid smile
That with money you can get
And listen why
I give pleasure and in return I ask for nothing
If I work I will become famous
And to know how to maintain fame

I have no friends
And if I get an easy love
That's how easy I have to lose it
My mother said: Don't think you're a great tenor
You will stop at a sanatorium
And there you will lose fame
Because I, I am fame
I am the one that people claim
But no one can understand
Listen to me, I am fame
I am the one that people claim
But no one can understand

Because I am fame
I am the one that people claim
But no one can understand

Oh my singing is unique
I didn't copy anyone
Listen to me tremendous
The jibaro is tremendous

I don't have any friends
I have no one
But I have a heart sauce
That is what matters most

I sing guajiras, bolero
Aquinaldo and Guaguancó
He who did not believe was surprised
When the male won again

It's that I have three races
Jíbaro, Taíno and Niche
Mommy, mommy what's happening?

And I don't say goodbye to you
I tell you, goodbye forever
