Whenever Celia Sings
A little girl in Havana
Sings her brothers and sisters to sleep
Señores y señoritas
Stop to listen, you can't hear a peep
Except for luscious melodies
That sound like rolling waterfalls
And hummingbirds in mango trees
Now all Havana's smiling
Celebration
Music soars on heaven's wings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
The little girl grows up singing
Joins a popular Cubano band
Sonora Mantancera
They spread a new music throughout the land
She brings it to America
New York, Miami, Hollywood
Then Europe, Asia, Africa
She's crowned the Queen of Salsa!
Timbales! Trompetas!
Rhumba, Mambo, Jazz that swings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings
There is dancing (cuando canta Celia)
Stars are beaming above
Whenever Celia sings
There is laughter (cuando canta Celia)
There is love
We hear delicious melodies
That sound like rolling waterfalls
And hummingbirds in mango trees
Now all the world's rejoicing!
Celebration
Music soars on heaven's wings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings
Timbales! Trompetas!
Rhumba, Mambo, Jazz that swings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings
Sings her brothers and sisters to sleep
Señores y señoritas
Stop to listen, you can't hear a peep
Except for luscious melodies
That sound like rolling waterfalls
And hummingbirds in mango trees
Now all Havana's smiling
Celebration
Music soars on heaven's wings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
The little girl grows up singing
Joins a popular Cubano band
Sonora Mantancera
They spread a new music throughout the land
She brings it to America
New York, Miami, Hollywood

She's crowned the Queen of Salsa!
Timbales! Trompetas!
Rhumba, Mambo, Jazz that swings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings
There is dancing (cuando canta Celia)
Stars are beaming above
Whenever Celia sings
There is laughter (cuando canta Celia)
There is love
We hear delicious melodies
That sound like rolling waterfalls
And hummingbirds in mango trees
Now all the world's rejoicing!
Celebration
Music soars on heaven's wings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings
Timbales! Trompetas!
Rhumba, Mambo, Jazz that swings
Sweeter than sugar (azúcar!)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings (cuando canta Celia)
Whenever Celia sings
