Translation of the song lyrics Las Caras Lindas - Ismael Rivera

Las Caras Lindas (original)

Letra de «Las caras lindas»
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra
Son un desfile de melaza en flor
Que cuando pasa frente a mi se alegra
De su negrura, todo el corazón
Las caras lindas de mi raza prieta
Tienen de llanto, de pena y dolor
Son las verdades, que la vida reta
Pero que llevan dentro mucho amor
Somos la melaza que ríe
La melaza que llora
Somos la melaza que ama
Y en cada beso, es conmovedora
Por eso vivo orgulloso de su colorido
Somos betún amable, de clara poesía
Tienen su ritmo, tienen melodía
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra
Coro:
Las caras lindas, las caras lindas
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra
Que lindas pero.
pero mira que lindas son
Tienen, tienen, tienen, tienen de llanto
Mucha melodía, te digo Belen tienen belleza
Y también tienen poesía de la bien linda
Caritas lindas de gente negra
Que en La Calma tengo un montón
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra, son un vacilón
Somos te digo, la melaza que ríe, jajajajaja
Que canta y que llora y en cada beso
Bien conmovedora y cautivadora
Te digo que en PortoBello Panamá
Yo vi la cara más bella y pura
Y es por eso que mi corazón
Se alegra de su negrura.
!Esa si que es linda!
Que lin, que lin, que lindas son
Negrura de la pura
Que lin, que lin, que lindas son
Oyeme, pero que bonitas son, lindas son
Chulas son, bonitas son, lindas que son
Lindas como tú veras, así son
Lindas como aquellas que dije son un vacilón
Un riquito vacilón, con tu corazón, rico de melón
Que lindas, que lindas, que lindas, que lindas
Que chulas que son, bonitas que son, bien bonitas
Chulitas que son, que lindas son, caritas lindas
Lindas lindas son.¡llévame!
Lindas que son, lindas son
Pero que lindas son, pero que lindas son
Lindas que son, lindas son
Muchas caras lindas
Pero que lin, que lin, que lindas son
Roco toco tin pero que lindas que lindas son
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra, son un montón
Desfile de negrura, de la pura que viene de allá bajo
Las caras lindas de mi gente negra son un vacilón
Melaza que ríe, melaza que ríe, jajajaja
Ay que canta y que llora, y en cada beso bien conmovedora
Pero que linda!

"Pretty Faces" lyrics
The cute faces of my black people
They're a parade of molasses in bloom
That when he passes in front of me he is happy
Of his blackness, all the heart
The pretty faces of my dark race
They have tears, grief and pain
They are the truths that life challenges
But they carry a lot of love inside
We are the molasses that laughs
the molasses that cries
We are the molasses that loves
And in every kiss, she's soulful
That's why I live proud of its color
We are kind bitumen, of clear poetry
They have their rhythm, they have melody
The cute faces of my black people
Chorus:
The pretty faces, the pretty faces
The cute faces of my black people
How cute but.
but look how cute they are
They have, they have, they have, they have crying
A lot of melody, I tell you Belen they have beauty
And they also have poetry of the very pretty
cute faces of black people
That in La Calma I have a lot
The pretty faces of my black people, they are a fun
We are I tell you, the molasses that laughs, hahahahaha
That sings and that cries and in each kiss
Very moving and captivating
I tell you that in PortoBello Panama
I saw the most beautiful and pure face
And that is why my heart
He rejoices in his blackness.
That is so cute!
What a lin, what a lin, how cute they are
blackness of the pure
What a lin, what a lin, how cute they are
Hear me, but how beautiful they are, beautiful they are
They are cool, they are pretty, they are cute
Pretty as you will see, that's how they are
Pretty like those that I said are a vacilón
A delicious little fool, with your heart, rich in melon
How cute, how cute, how cute, how cute
How cool they are, pretty they are, very pretty
Chulitas they are, how cute they are, cute little faces
Pretty pretty they are. Take me!
beautiful they are, beautiful they are
But how beautiful they are, but how beautiful they are
beautiful they are, beautiful they are
many cute faces
But what a lin, what a lin, how beautiful they are
Roco played tin but how cute they are
The pretty faces of my black people, they are a lot
Parade of blackness, of the pure one that comes from down there
The pretty faces of my black people are a fun
Molasses that laughs, molasses that laughs, hahahaha
Oh who sings and who cries, and in each kiss very moving
But how cute!
