Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community

Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community

Because my words represent the thoughts
Of the foundation of the people where I grew up
Transforming my present thoughts
Holding memories loaded with suffering
The struggle hasn’t stopped, despite what people think
They haven’t forgotten the past
My song was created to be expressed from that
Community that I’ve shaped my whole life

Surrounded by the magic of hearts

Beating just meters apart, there are no borders
And no barriers
Life keeps spinning, and I keep trying to communicate what’s
Happening on the streets
Because the people I care about are still suffering from poverty
My words are assaults of sadness
Because I’m proud to live in this lowly nobility
I’ll never forget all the joy I could give you
Seeing those kids play
The neighbor singing, shouting on Sundays
In the court, seeing families in the plaza
That are wrapped in a blanket of love and the sweat of the worker
The community is love
I’m just a simple singer born in the community
Telling truths and making the song

Enough of the silence now
Joy is visiting families (in the community)
And at this moment
There are many people smiling to not waste time

Because my song is from the community
Hey, come see, come take a look
At what the community can give you, as you see we’re all
Equal, we’re not rivals

I come to smile at you to kill ideals
But learning from realities
Brother come, come brother, come, come
Look, together we can overcome
The gazes that want to see us fall just for
Belonging to a humble and simple community

Look at how we live and see those
Kids running free, playing to become invincible, unbeatable
Their souls within this experience, part of their childhood
Will stay in their consciousness, remembering the magic of the community
That beautiful feeling that’s more than a nation
Creating joy through a song
In this song, that’s my community
Happy unity, my people overcoming all fear
Sweating the hard work and making a better day
Within my community, that’s my community

Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community
Because my song is from the community

This song is dedicated
To the people of the community
I do it with my heart
When I refer to the community in this song
Because I am the voice of the people who have always
Fought seeking the truth
And defend their rights with clenched fists
Because that’s life in the community.
