You should feel so lucky that you’re
Only one of a few
That makes me forget everyone else
And wanna be with you
You make me feel so good
We must not expect happiness. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well, it is a sudden gift; it cannot last forever.


Gloria Estefan: I really think that if you live in this country you should try to speak the language. But what happens is a lot of people came here older, and there were so many of us, so many Hispanics, that came, that they were able to live their life without speaking English. And it’s very hard to teach older people languages.
Marc Fest: But what about young people...?
Gloria Estefan: But young people all speak English here. They go to school. On the contrary, kids are losing their Hispanic... They don’t speak Spanish well. I had to work really hard for my son to keep Spanish as a second language, because thank God, his grandparents don’t speak English and a couple of the house keepers don’t speak English, so he was forced to... And I also made sure he was bilingual. Some of his friends, they don’t speak Spanish. But what happens – we get a lot of immigration from other countries here of people coming from Nicaragua, from Colombia, who are already older and don’t speak English, and those people obviously don’t need to. You can live here your whole life, especially if you live in Hialeah [laughs] You could live your whole life without speaking English. That’s probably what they’re complaining about. And at the same time I still have to fight my record company to release "Oye" [as a single]. Because it’s in Spanish.
