Celia Cruz La Dicha Mia Letra

Lucky me, to be born in Havana*

And there, I became a singer of songs

They led me to the great Mamboleros

In all of Cuba, the toast of the town

Singing at the Tropicana

My fantasies finally came true

Imagine, going to New York

Seeing the great ones, filled my heart and soul

We saw Arsenio with his swinging band

Al Señor Rodríguez, that magical man

I took the subway to El Barrio,

Got hugs and kisses from mi gente

Lucky me, I saw Machito

Ay Dios Mío, El Excelente

Listening to Machito, dancing, drinking vino

Machito was for us El Count Basie Latino

Made it up to the Palladium

It didn't disappoint at all

Had a ball, with Tito Puento

Tito Puento the king of them all

With Tito Puente, we began to dance

El rey Tito Puente, created a trance

When Tito finished playing

How could anything fill the hall

Surprise came Tito Rodríguez

With his conjunto, to top it all

Better two Titos, than only one

Better for dancing, and also for fun

El Señor Me Dio La Dicha de grabar

Con Tito Puente Y Cantar Con Tito Rodríguez

(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)

Ven A Gozar Con La Dicha, A Gozar Con La Dicha

(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)

wueaa

(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)

Ay Yo Le Canto a Yemaya a Oshun y a Obatala

(Esa Dicha Me La Dio El Señor)

Y Al Que Dios Se Lo Dio San Pedro Se Lo Bendiga

La Dicha Mia me la dio El Señor
