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
