It will be near to impossible to have a group of singers all sing things rubato and keep perfect time with each other, Similarly with musicians if they're only used to playing exactly what's in front of them.
If you do choose to write out what singers do exactly as they do it, then it'll look like a complete mess what with subdivided triplets, quintuplets, sextruplets, septuplets, etc. as well as notes going over the barlines, all manner of gracings, pitch bends, ... and if you want people who have no concept of swing to play something as near to swing rhythms as possible, then you'll have to write it all out in 9/8 and 12/8 instead of 3/4 and 4/4 or using dotted rhythms if they play everything dead straight or very dotted and nothing in between.

The pick-up to this is the last two of a group of quaver triplets for "A-di-" then "-os" in the first full bar of the vocal line will take up beats 1, 2 and 2/3 of beat 3, the last triplet quaver is the start of 'Amigo' with "mi-os" being the first two (swung) quavers in bar 2 of the song.
See attachment as that will explain it better.
