Nino Lyrics - Singles - Browne Jackson

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
