Candela (reprise) Lyrics – Buena Vista Social Club

(Finale)

[JUAN DE MARCOS, spoken]
There is a music studio in Old Havana
On San Miguel, between Lealtad and Campanario
Right now, you and I are a thousand miles away
But a sound like this
It traveled all the way to Paris
To talk you to the Sydney Opera House
Even to the Grammy's
And eventually, to a venue built for Mozart, Bach, and Rachmaninoff
Because it's about damn time that Carnegie Hall heard about us
The Buena Vista Social Club

[MUSICIANS, sung]
(Me quemo, aeh) Oye, humana, que me quemo
(Me quemo, aeh) Pero mira, que me quemo
(Me quemo, aeh) Y es que yo quiero seguir barajando
(Me quemo, aeh) Y la candela, me está quemando
(Me quemo, aeh) La mujer cuando se agacha
(Me quemo, aeh) Celebra el entendimiento
(Me quemo, aeh) Y el hombre cuando lo mira
(Me quemo, aeh) Se le para el pensamiento
(Me quemo, aeh)
(Me quemo, aeh) Dice
(Me quemo, aeh) Camina
(Me quemo, aeh)
(Me quemo, aeh)
