La Dicha Mía

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
