Tradición Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of On Your Feet

On Your Feet (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[OLD MAN, spoken]
Glorita, ¡regálanos una canción!
[LITTLE GLORIA, spoken]
I have to do the washing. 
[OLD MAN, spoken]
It's a grey day here in Miami. Bring back the sun. Sing! ¡Guaguancó!
[LITTLE GLORIA, spoken]
I can't, I--
[OLD MAN]
Fah la la la la la la la la la la la la!
(spoken)
Washing cleans the clothes, music cleans the soul! ¡Por favor, Glorita! One song? Una canción, ¿eh?
(sung)
Fah la la la la la la la la la la la la!
[LITTLE GLORIA]
Joyful music for the world
Will be our responsibility
[LITTLE GLORIA & FEMALE NEIGHBOR]
To share with the world our song
Our story to pass along
[LITTLE GLORIA]
And our traditions carry on
(Cheers from the neighbors.)
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[LITTLE GLORIA]
¡Que siga, que siga la tradición!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[LITTLE GLORIA]
[?]
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[LITTLE GLORIA & OLD MAN]
¡Es mi guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[LITTLE GLORIA]
¡Que siga, que siga la tradición!
(Instrumental break.)
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
Tradition, tradition to carry on!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
From my soul my Cuba's never gone!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
It's my guaguancó, guaguancó, guaguancó!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
It's tradition, tradition to carry on!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
My beautiful Cuba!
Mi Cubita bella!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga!
[GLORIA]
My beautiful star shines forever in Cuba!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
My beautiful Cuba!
Mi Cubita bella!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga!
(Instrumental break.)
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
So that you never forget it!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga!
[GLORIA]
Tradition, tradition, tradition to carry on!
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[GLORIA]
So let your love for our country...
[NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga!
[GLORIA]
Live now and forever!
[GLORIA & NEIGHBORS]
¡Que siga la tradición!
[COMPANY]
¡Que siga!
[CONSUELA, spoken]
Gloria Maria, this is Emilio Estefan. He plays music with the Miami Latin Boys!
[EMILIO, spoken]
It's a pleasure to meet you! So, your grandmother tells me that you want to be a professional songwriter. 
[GLORIA, spoken]
Oh, is that what she tells you? I'm actually studying to become a psychologist. 
[EMILIO, spoken]
Is that right? Listen, we practice at my house on Tuesday nights. Why don't you come next week? Maybe if you want you play one of your songs for us then. 
[GLORIA, spoken]
Yeah, Tuesdays are no good
I have class and then work
And after that I have to
Come back here and--
¡Abuela!
[CONSUELA, spoken]
Yes!
 
 
Yes!
 
[CONSUELA, spoken]
Say yes!
[GLORIA, spoken]
Fine!
[CONSUELA, spoken]
She said fine! That means yes!
[EMILIO, spoken]
Okay, alright! Good, very good! I'll see you then.
