Yo Soy Cumbia - Lyrics

Hi how are you?

Let me introduce myself

My name Juanlo pez

And today I represent my Cumbia

Beloved land

Hymn of faith and joy

Blessed

But trampled by corruption

Cursed heritage passed on from nation to nation

Each generation is born being part of the same illusion

I believe that more can be done

Deceiving and trampling on others

But no!

Mistaken is the one who thought he was enlightened

Ruling with fear and hiding the truth

But the truth is that they're so blinded

That they have not even noticed

They are just manipulated chess pieces

By forces even they can't understand

They are only interested in satisfying their insatiable appetite for power

But it doesn't fill them up

No it does not fill them up

They they have wrung everything they could from mother earth

And believe me

Nothing fills them up

It's a life sentence

Keep putting rings on the chain

Which Columbus inherited to us

Because the smart do not live of the fools

The outcast takes advantages of his brothers innocence

To take away what he has achieved

Things become what they are named

And I no longer want to represent any coloniser

Today I represent the love of my Cumbia and it’s beautiful being

That was born from the cultural union between Indian and Afro in the lands of this nation

Today I appropriate the cultural heritage left by my ancestors

because while Columbus died

Cumbia remains alive in the hearts of the population

Wow!

Long live the revolution

In one love

El Juanlo
