Lyrics and Translations for Tonight's Program

Jubilate Deo
Translation:

Rejoice in the lord, hallelujah

Agnus Dei

Translation:
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Shosholoza

Translation:

The train is coming from the mountains.
Stimela pushes the train to South Africa.
You must run to catch the train.

Lizela

Translation:
O, ululate when the spirit enters
When we enter, the spirit is present
When the sopranos enter, the spirit is present
When the altos enter, the spirit is present
When the tenors enter, the spirit is present
When the basses enter, oh mama, the spirit is present

Sanctus

Translation:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth
heaven and earth are full of Thy glory
Hosanna in the highest.

Vivir Mi Vida
Translation:
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance.
I’m going to live my life!
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance.
I’m going to live my life!
Sometimes rains comes to clean the wounds. Sometimes only a drop (of rain) can defeat a drought.
And why cry? What for? If you feel the pain
of sorrow, you try to forget.
And why suffer? What for? If that is life,
you have to live it!
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance.
I’m going to live my life!
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance. I’m going to live my life!

Quimbara
Translation:
Quimbara, quimbara qumba quimbamba, Quimbara, quimbara qumba quimbamba, Quimbara, quimbara qumba quimbamba, Quimbara, quimbara qumba quimbamba!
The rumba is calling me.
(The) bongó tells them that I’m coming.
Wait a moment
while I sing a guaguancó.

Rap
Translation:
Just come watch, this is my race. Now let me explain to you why I threw myself in. The movement was surrounding me and your pure heart was beating.
