I, lbrahim Ferrer Planas...
:15:09
...was born in a small town,
:15:12
in Santiago de Cuba
:15:15
San Luis
:15:18
I am the son of Aurelia Ferrer
:15:21
Registered as her natural son
:15:28
I say this because...
:15:32
...l'd like you all
to know from me...

:15:36
...who I am and what I am
:15:40
At the age of twelve...
:15:42
I lost my mother
:15:45
I had already lost my father.
:15:48
I was an orphan
:15:50
I was my mother's only child
:15:55
So I had to look after myself
:16:01
I was at school,
where I had friends

:16:04
But I had to abandon
my studies then

:16:09
Life at that time wasn't
what it is now

:16:15
It was harder.
:16:17
You had to fend for yourself
:16:25
Do you need a hand?
:16:46
Ruben and I were just
taking it easy

:16:49
Ruben loves to improvise,
and so do l. Let things flow

:16:54
So, I started singing. I said
Compadre, pick up this tune

:16:58
Two Gardenias foryou
