La Dicha Mia Lyrics

Celia Cruz La Dicha Mia

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
