Nino, walking around on Sunday

Nino, just one more kid in LA



With a hubcap and a stick in his hand

In his own parade, leading the band

His head in the sky, his feet nearly touching the sand



Nino, three thousand miles away

Nino, La Familia stares at the bay



Turning off sunset boulevard

Playing the fence around somebody's yard

Thinking of home and keeping tumbao on the hood of some car



Nino, people will know you one day

Nino, they're going to call you El Rey



Nino de la playa y la ciudad

Nino de las calles y la verdad

El Ritmo de tu pueblo se siente aqui

Al Canto de la tierra que vive en ti

La Magia de tu mano en el tambor

Retumba aqui con alma y con sabor

Y al toque de campanas al sonar

Los Angeles te guardan desde el mar



With a hubcap and a stick in his hand

In his own parade, leading the band

His head in the sky, his feet nearly touching the sand

At the heart of land



Nino walking around in LA

Nino this will be your time one day



Nino de la playa y la ciudad

Nino de las calles y la verdad

El Ritmo de tu pueblo se siente aqui

Al Canto de la tierra que vive en ti

La Magia de tu mano en el tambor

Retumba aqui con alma y con sabor

Y al toque de campanas al sonar

Los Angeles te guardan desde el mar
