Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician
I went to a concert to see Nina Simone
The concert was over, there was still a band playing the rap-up
The bongo man laid his plead with his hands
I closed my eyes and looked at him
Victor should have been a jazz musician
I said to myself, Victor should have been a jazz musician
I looked at his face, and I saw Victor
I looked at his smile and I saw Victor
I looked at his hair, I thought
Victor should have been a jazz musician
Victor should have been a jazz musician
There were people dancing on the floor, they were so high
You should have seen Victor smile, you should have seen Victor smile
As they danced all the while all around on the floor
And he laughed
Victor should have been a jazz musician
Oh, Victor should have been a jazz musician
He was playing so nice, the jazz musician
He’s living in a fast beat, in a city that’s hot
Telling all the Latinos and the Puerto Ricans
Victor seems happy but doesn’t even know himself
He’s gotta look inside to know where his first life is
Victor was a jazz musician, gotta look inside to know
He was a jazz musician, in his first life, he was a jazz musician
Victor was a jazz musician
Somewhere, Victor plays his music, he loves his music
Somewhere, Victor loves his music, he plays his music
Somewhere, Victor is a jazz musician, jazz
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Fui a un concierto a ver a Nina Simone
El concierto había terminado, todavía había una banda tocando el rap-up
El bongo puso su alegato con sus manos
Cerré los ojos y lo miré
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Me dije a mí mismo, Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Miré su cara, y vi a Victor
Miré su sonrisa y vi a Víctor
Miré su cabello, pensé
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Había gente bailando en el suelo, eran tan altos
Deberías haber visto a Víctor sonreír, deberías haber visto a Víctor sonreír
Mientras bailaban todo el tiempo alrededor en el suelo
Y se rió
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Victor debería haber sido músico de jazz
Tocaba tan bien, el músico de jazz
Vive en un ritmo rápido, en una ciudad que está caliente
Contar a todos los latinos y a los puertorriqueños
Victor parece feliz, pero ni siquiera se conoce a sí mismo
Tiene que mirar adentro para saber dónde está su primera vida
Victor era un músico de jazz, tengo que mirar adentro para saber
Fue músico de jazz, en su primera vida, fue músico de jazz
Victor era un músico de jazz
En algún lugar, Victor toca su música, le encanta su música
En algún lugar, Victor ama su música, toca su música
En algún lugar, Victor es un músico de jazz, jazz
