[Verse 1]
Niño, walking around on Sunday
Niño, 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
Niño, three thousand miles away
Niño, la familia stares at the bay
[Verse 2]
Turning off Sunset Boulevard
Playing the fence around somebody's yard
Thinking of home and keeping tumbao on the hood of some car
Niño, people will know you one day
Niño, they're going to call you El Rey
[Chorus]
Niño de la playa y la ciudad
Niño de las calles y la verdad
El ritmo de tu pueblo se siente aquí
Al canto de la tierra que vive en ti
La magia de tu mano en el tambor
Retumba aquí con alma y con sabor
Y al toque de campanas al sonar
Los ángeles te guardan desde el mar
[Verse 3]
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
Of the homeland
Niño, walking around in LA
Niño, this will be your town one day
[Chorus]
Niño de la playa y la ciudad
Niño de las calles y la verdad
El ritmo de tu pueblo se siente aquí
Al canto de la tierra que vive en ti
La magia de tu mano en el tambor
Retumba aquí con alma y con sabor
Y al toque de campanas al sonar
Los ángeles te guardan desde el mar
