El Cantante [English translation]

I am the singer

That today they have come to hear

The best of repertoire

I am going to present to you

And I sing to life

Of laughters and sorrows

Of bad moments

And of good things.

They came to have fun

And paid at the door

There is no time for sadness

Let singer begins.

They always stop me on the street

Many people that comment

Hey Hector ah! You are done

Always with females and parties.

And nobody asks

If I suffer if I cry

If I have a sorrow

That hurts deeply.

I am the singer

Because mine is singing

And the public pays

For make me able to hear

I am the singer

Very popular where I want;

But when the show is finished

I'm another human whatever.

And I continue my life

With laughters and sorrows

With bitter moments

And with good things.

I am the singer

And my business is singing

And those who follow me

My song is going to present.
