Paroles et traduction Miki Gonzalez - Caporal

Caporal

En los barcos portugueses ahí trajeron a la abuela,
La trajeron de Guinea con escala en Cartagena
Mercaderes españoles la trajeron mas al sur
Y es por eso k yo canto ritmos negros del Perú.

En Malanbo estuvo un tiempo y al abuelo conoció
La compro una monjita que pa' Chincha la llevo
Trabajando todo el día hasta el anochecer
Con el ritmo de ese látigo en la hacienda San José.

Hoy los tiempos han cambiado todo eso terminó
Hoy los negros ya son libres se abolió la esclavitud.
Y es por esa sangre negra que el Atlántico cruzó
Es por eso que yo canto ritmos negros del Perú

Somos todos peruanos con herencia ancestral
Y atrás quedo Guinea, Mozanbike y Senegal.
Y es por esa sangre negra que el Atlántico cruzo
Es por eso que yo canto ritmos negros del Perú.

And the culture here from Peru
Id like to welcome all the world

Yo les quiero enseñar este ritmo muy sabroso
Que les trae Miki Gonzáles
Y los hermanos Ballumbrosio
Yo no les traigo sexo
No traigo la violencia
Quizás no es comercial,
Es paz con mi conciencia
Yo les traigo las raíces y cultura del Perú
Que fueron importados del África
En la esclavitud
Y es por esa sangre negra que el Atlántico cruzo
Es por eso que yo canto ritmos negros del Perú.
Y en los barcos portugueses ahí trajeron a la abuela,
La trajeron de Guinea con escala en Cartagena
Mercaderes españoles la trajeron mas pa'l sur
Y es por eso que yo canto ritmos negros del Perú.

Y esta historia la escuche un negro me la contó
El vivía en el Huayabo y hace tiempo se murió.
Y es por esa sangre negra que el Atlántico cruzo
Es por eso que yo canto ritmos negros del Perú.

On Portuguese ships, they brought my grandmother here,
They brought her from Guinea with a stop in Cartagena
Spanish merchants brought her further south
And that's why I sing black rhythms of Peru.

In Malambo she stayed for a while and met grandfather
A little nun bought her and took her to Chincha
Working all day until nightfall
With the rhythm of that whip on the San José hacienda.

Today times have changed, all that is over
Today black people are free, slavery has been abolished.
And it is for that black blood that crossed the Atlantic
That's why I sing black rhythms of Peru

We are all Peruvians with ancestral heritage
And behind us are Guinea, Mozambique and Senegal.
And it is for that black blood that crossed the Atlantic
That's why I sing black rhythms of Peru.

I want to teach you this very tasty rhythm
Brought to you by Miki Gonzáles
And the Ballumbrosio brothers
I don't bring you sex
I don't bring violence
Maybe it's not commercial,
It's peace with my conscience
I bring you the roots and culture of Peru
Which were imported from Africa
In slavery
And it is for that black blood that crossed the Atlantic
That's why I sing black rhythms of Peru.
And on Portuguese ships they brought my grandmother there,
They brought her from Guinea with a stop in Cartagena
Spanish merchants brought her further south
And that's why I sing black rhythms of Peru.

And this story I heard, a black man told it to me
He lived in the Huayabo and died a long time ago.
And it is for that black blood that crossed the Atlantic
That's why I sing black rhythms of Peru.
