Cielo de tambores

In a crystal ball I wanted to see how yesterday was
and how it could be reborn in this world without power,
from nothing today sings the tigo the new dawn,
clinging to his god chango the son the wife he lost,
in the same journey the pirate soon evicted.
In a crystal ball I wanted to see how yesterday was
I swear I didn't want to be there, oh, I couldn't contain
when the relentless whip left him without skin,
so it began and fell silent, he didn't reveal the truth to anyone,
with blood and sweat he wrote his story.
Drum sky, drum sky,
sky, sky that fills my race with colors. (Repeat)
Chorus 1
A musical story remained there in eternity. (Repeat)
Chorus 2
And a sky, and a sky, and a sky of drums.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Chants
The beautiful faces of my black people are a blast, are a blast.
With their white crown and their silk wings.
Santa Isabel de las Lajas beloved, yes beloved, oh beloved,
the one with the veil and the most beloved, beloved.
Chorus 2 (Repeat)
