Since we were born

Our banana stain came from the same bunch

We are brothers of the same horizon

We all grew up at the foot of the mountain

We grew up, but for someone else's benefit

We are a people with milk teeth

The children of work without a snack

The lemonade for the overseer of the estate

Everything that survives

We are the fermented cane of the Caribbean

But even though history beats us

We are like a floating glass bottle

We put Aguirre sugar mill to produce

Without knowing how to read or write

And we cured the depression without syrup

Because we walk to the beat of the clave

Our race is naturally fierce

We come out of the top of a volcano with lava

There is no identity, some say

But here we all carry the number 21 on our backs

We learned to walk a long time ago

With one barefoot and the other with a shoe

With the chief's medal at the pawnshop

We are the owners of a country without an owner

Children of the sugarcane field

We never drool

This race is always fierce

Even when the storm blows

So you can feel the caliber

Of a horse without a rider

Look how it runs freely

Reflected in the machete

We are the dew when you have breakfast

We are the tide when it dances with the moon

We dry our sweat with the wind, no towel

And we perfume ourselves with the salt from the beach

When the sun hangs the clouds on the clothesline

The rain showers are made of coconut water

We dream from the same shore

Without losing our way because here the "cucubanos" shine

The hurricane comes and we pray to the cross

And we play cards when the lights go out

The heat warms our beer

And we bathe in the lake

Until the dam opens

Here on Good Fridays, we eat taro

Here the Three Kings come from Juana Diaz

We stand up for the deceased

And at the patron saint festivals, we get married in the coffin together

No one can take away what is ours

Because no matter how much snow they throw, here the snow melts

Even if they plant the roots however they want

Soursop trees don't bear apples

Children of the sugarcane field

We never drool

This race is always fierce

Even when the storm blows

So that you feel the caliber

Of a horse without a rider

Look how he runs free

Reflected in the machete

Children of the cane field

We never drool

This breed is always brave

Even if the storm blows

To learn to defend ourselves

We never went to school

Although the bull has horns

Our home has flies

A clean lash since the discovery

They couldn't, we continue with the same accent

Our endurance has been worthy

We are the verses that do not sing in our anthem

We must release the boats from the dock

This cart already moves without an ox

We will take down the colonist from the throne

So that our flag sings in one tone

In the four Luisito Sans

Antony Carrillo on the bongo

Speak to the saints, give it!
