Mi vida para el Folklore

by Arturo Jorge y El Cuarteto Tradicion

'm going to dedicate my life

to defend my folklore.

I'm going to dedicate my life

to defend my folklore,

to water it like flower

which is not to be extinguished,

and the day of my departure

my song will be an example.

That's why with emotion

I ask that in front of my grave

sing a hymn of rumba,

guajira, guaracha and son

sing a hymn of rumba,

guajira, guaracha and son

Those who hate my nation

They want to kill my culture.

Those who hate my nation

They want to kill my culture.

that's why I'll make a sculpture

through my song

to the sound of the plain, to the nengón

the changüí, the kiribá,

to mambo, to chachacha,

to bolero, to Sucu juice.

Poor of the one who did not know

defend their identity.

Poor of the one who did not know

defend your identity
