In a crystal ball I wanted to see how it was yesterday
and how he could be reborn in this world without power,
from nowhere, the tigo sings the new dawn,
clung to his god chango the son the wife he lost,
on the same trip the pirate soon evicted.
In a crystal ball I wanted to see how it was yesterday
I swear I did not want to be oh, I could not contain
when the implacable whip left him without skin,
that's how it started and shut up, the truth revealed to no one,
With blood and sweat his story wrote.
Sky of drums, sky of drums,
sky, sky that my race full of colors. (Bis)
Chorus 1
A musical history was there in eternity. (Bis)
Chorus 2
And a sky, and a sky, and a sky of drums.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Pregones
The beautiful faces of my black people are a vacilón, they are a vacilón.
With its white crown and its silk wings.
Santa Isabel de las Lajas dear, yes dear! Dear,
the one with the veil and the one most dear, dear.
Chorus 2 (Bis)
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
