Browne Jackson Nino Lyrics

Nino Lyrics

Nino, walking around on Sunday
Nino, just one more kid in L.A.
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 a 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
(Child of the beach and the
city
Child of the streets and of the truth
The rhythm of your people is
felt here
To the song of the country that lives in you
The magic of your
hand on the drum
Resonates here with soul and good feeling
And at the
strike of bells as they ring
The angels guard you from the sea)
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
Nino,
walking around in L.A.
Nino, this will be your town one day
