At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive (hey-hey)
Y ahora vuelvo a recordar, aquel tiempo atras Cuando me fui buscando el cielo de la libertad Cuantos amigos que deje y cuantas lagrimas llore Yo vivire, para volverlos a encontrar Y seguire, con mi cancion Bailando musica caliente como bailo yo Y cuando suene una guaracha Y cuando suene un huahuanco En la sangre de mi pueblo en su cuerpo estare yo Oye mi son, mi viejo son Tiene la clave de cualquier generacion En el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor En las manos del conguero, en los pies del bailador Yo vivire, alli estare Mientras pase una comparsa con mi rumba cantare Sere siempre lo que fui, con mi azucar para ti Yo vivire, yo vivire (Ehh..ehhh)
