Somos los prietos [Spanish translation]

Listen

It's ChocQuibTown

You know it!

It's ChocQuibTown baby

Africa Africa

Without fear

We are the blacks [Note that "prieto" also means "hard fighting/struggling"]

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

In my voice I carry the message of my people

and also the flow that prevails

Yes I want to sing, make my dream come true, no giving up

the one who's born where one has to fight for everything

My style is different from the rest

the marimba sounds while the two of us dance

the rythm is black, that's already confirmed

but not all that is black is bad like the television says

We are the blacks

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

Africa, Africa mother land, where the blacks are

where the dark ones are, where they are

with a firm pace/step we don't stop for any reason

always portrayed in the positive spaces

Opening way, against the current

since childhood, with convincing ways

and yes, yes we already set ourselves free from the chains

blood of kings is what runs through my veins. say it!

We are the blacks

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

We are part

of the spine of all our (shared) history

of the strong hands (/hard workers), so that simon gets to glory

the parts they don't mention in their incomplete books

(the parts) they want to hide, but they are visible, we are the blacks

What we carry is bom bom chaka that moves you

and it carries your body away when you are sad

and even though they discriminate us, we continue to represent

strength to the flag, we are strong Colombians

Ready to give it all

to be someone in live

even though many thing there is only

talent for negative things

Some they

wish you bad and expect you to fall

everytime I get up in the morning

(I'm) grateful and plead for their (lifes) to go well

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

Afros from Colombia that (who), we represent wherever we want

I tell you that once and for all, (I'm) proud of my flag/colours

It's ChocQuibTown baby

Without fear

Ay baby
