who dared some time
to speak about black race
abstein himself today.
well borinquen,
has a taste of blood
heredity of the holy land
nobady ever dare
to say a word against black raze
today and never.
well the opressed race lived in the storm
and they judge them with nastiness
to have a bad life
how much haven't we danced?
whith the african taste?
how much haven't we enjoyed
with this hipped rytm?
we have been snatched
moving our bodies side to side
up and down, side to side
Africa, Africa.
in Borinquen the time for conquer
of enslavy spanish people
it wasn't enough to blow off the tainos
they brought africans to our island.
they kicket them out from their loved land
from the nature they had
they teared off their life.
to bring them to a unknown land
with assasin people, forcing them to work
with nothing to gain
despite that degree of bad life
africans have looked up
they looked for a way out
broke the chains, broke the chains of black slavery.
broke the chains, broke the chains of black slavery
that's why I have black blood in my veins
borinquen has black blood in its veins
