(Translation:
(Tradici)

i'm so happy, yes sir
here with all my people
and with great admiration
i offer this celebration of my roots
i bring you this guaguanco (another typical Afro-Cuban thythm)
so you'll never forget this unusual rhythm
and to awaken your pride in your origins
i'm so happy, yes sir
from my cuba to all the world
i don't know how it began
but to whoever invented it
i now offer this tribute
and although time will pass
it's our responsibility, through song
to serve as an education and
to continue the tradition
may the tradition continue )
