Yo Viviré (I Will Survive) Celia Cruz (English Translation) Lyrics

My voice can fly, can cross

Any wound, any time

Any loneliness, without being able to control it

It takes the form of a song, that’s my voice

That comes from my heart

And it will fly, without me wanting

Through the farthest paths

Through the dreams I dreamed

It will be a reflection of the love of what I had to live

It will be the background music of how much I felt

Listen to my sound, my old sound

It has the key of any generation

In the soul of my people, in the drum’s skin

In the hands of the conguero, in the feet of the dancer

I will live, I will be there

While a carnival parade passes by, I will sing my rumba

I will always be what I was, with my sugar for you

I will live, I will live

And now I remember again, that time back then

When I left looking for the sky of freedom

How many friends I left behind and how many tears I cried

I will live, to find them again

And I will continue, with my song

Dancing hot music like I do

And when a guaracha sounds

And when a Guaguancó sounds

In the blood of my people, in their body I will be

Listen to my sound, my old sound

It has the key of any generation

In the soul of my people, in the drum’s skin

In the hands of the conguero, in the feet of the dancer

I will live, I will be there

While a carnival parade passes by, I will sing my rumba

I will always be what I was, with my sugar for you

I will live, I will live

Surviving

In this life, what I am doing

Surviving

I am surviving, I am surviving

Breaking barriers, I am surviving

Crossing borders, I am surviving

I thank God for this gift

He gave me the voice and I have given it to you

With pleasure!

Breaking barriers, I am surviving

Crossing borders, I am surviving

For you my people I will always sing

I will give you my sugar, damn, and I will survive

Breaking barriers, I am surviving

Crossing borders, I am surviving

I will live, I will live, I will live and survive
