CHORUS: A song comes to me, sonero. A song comes to me, and it's for you. A song comes to me, sonero. A song comes to me, and it's for you. VOICE 1: I've poured my inspiration, soul, life, and heart into composing a song to honor you. You earned people's respect with perseverance and hard work, always playing your bass. And although you're not here today, your music teaches us why you were Orlando Peña, a man, a friend, and a good person. CHORUS: A song comes to me, sonero. A song comes to me, and it's for you. A song comes to me, sonero. A song comes to me, and it's for you. VOICE 1: Death surprised you when you least expected it, and in taking it, it took the master carpenter, a sonero exponent who never achieved fame. What it never took, nor can it ever take, was the musical legacy you left among us. CHORUS: A song comes to me, sonero. A song comes to me, and it's for you. A song comes to mind, sonero. A song comes to mind, and it's for you. VOICE 1: As an author, you were awarded for the tremendous Tumbal, where culture in the world and covering me with laughter, your work I will not forget, today it walks very fast. A song comes to mind, sonero. A song comes to mind, and it's for you. (…)
CORO: Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
VOZ 1: He puesto mi inspiración,
alma, vida y corazón
para componerte un son
que te pueda homenajear.
Tú te supiste ganar
con tesón y con trabajo,
siempre tocando tu bajo
el respeto de la gente.
Y aunque hoy no estés presente
tu música nos enseña
porque fuiste Orlando Peña
hombre, amigo y buena gente.
CORO: Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
VOZ 1: La muerte te sorprendió
cuando menos lo esperabas
y al llevarse se llevaba
el maestro carpintero,
a un exponente sonero
que nunca alcanzó la fama,
lo que sí nunca se llevó,
ni nunca podrá llevarse
fue el legado musical
que entre nosotros dejaste.
CORO: Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
VOZ 1: Como autor fuiste premiado
por el tremendo Tumbal
donde la cultura en el mundo
y cubriéndome de risa,
tu obra no olvidaré
hoy camina bien aprisa
Se me ocurre un son,
sonero.
Se me ocurre un son
y es para ti.
