"Al Principio"The changui of Elio Reve Jr is the proof of a great musical legacy. The track is refreshing while keeping the flavour of the Cuban salsa.
At first, everything was rosy, at first, I thought you were my God, at first, I gave you all my love. You were life to me, you were my only illusion. At first when I didn't see you, I didn't know about life, I didn't live, I imagined you, I dreamed of you. At first I closed my eyes when kissing and we played at love anywhere. That was at the beginning, after getting to know you well, oh! I won't love you again even if I'm tied down. The charangón, the same as always. The perfume of her kisses, that woman drove me crazy. Yes bele, bele, bele, bele, belebá, Güiro! I flew out of your house. And I have my babalao. I'm still firm and I haven't fallen down. To come back with you, not even, crazy. Abel, Pónchalo, let's enjoy. Let go, Carlitín, La Trampa. Tribute, to someone who deserves it. How delicious this chorus is, for the whole world! So that it sticks. Against traffic. How? The Untouchables. I'm going. Respect Charangón. Don't mess with Van Van. Adalberto with his son. Hey, Chiquitico, respect those who are, and all those who play are. How? The Cuban son.
Al principio, todo era color de rosa,
al principio, creía que eras mi Dios,
al principio, te daba todo mi amor.
Eras para mí la vida, eras mi única ilusión.
Al principio cuando no te veía, no sabía de la vida, no vivía,
te imaginaba, yo te soñaba.
Al principio cerraba los ojos al besar
y en cualquier lugar jugábamos al amor.
Eso fue al principio, después de conocerte bien,
¡ay! ni amarrado te vuelvo a querer.
El charangón, el de siempre.
El perfume de sus besos, loco me volvía esa mujer.
Si bele, bele, bele, bele, belebá, ¡Güiro!
De tu casa salí volado.
Y yo tengo mi babalao.
Sigo firme y no me he tumbado.
Volver contigo, ni, loco.
Abel, Pónchalo, vamos a gozar.
Suéltate, Carlitín, La Trampa.
Homenaje, a quien bien merece.
¡Qué rico está este coro, para el mundo entero!
Para que se pegue.
Contra el tráfico.
¿Cómo?
Los Intocables.
Voy.
Respeta al Charangón.
No te metas con Van Van.
Adalberto con su son.
Oye, Chiquitico,
respeta a los que son,
y todos los que tocan son.
¿Cómo? El son cubano.
