Paroles et traduction Sergent Garcia - Herencia Africana

Herencia Africana

Tu que eres de piel morena, de ojos castaños y pelo enredado
Tienes la sangre africana, orula es tu guia eres lucumi
Tu que conoces el guarapo, que fumas tabaco y tomas café
Tienes grandes sentimientos, respectas al muerto y al vivo tambien.
El que conoce la clave, porque en el barrio nacio
Es buen quinto, buen cajon y en el canto se arrebata
Por eso dice mulato, el de la clave soy yo!
Tumbador, bongosero, timbalero

African Inheritance

You who are of brown skin, with brown eyes and curly hair
You have African blood, Orula is your guide, you are Lucumi
You who know the Guarapo, who smoke tobacco and drink coffee
You have great feelings, you respect the dead and the living.
The one who knows the beat, because he was born in the neighborhood
He is a good quinto, a good cajon, and in the singing he is carried away
That's why he says mulatto, the one with the beat is me!
Tumbador, bongosero, timbalero
