Coco Por Coca

They started cutting down the entire forest
To plant a new product
They forgot to plant papachina
Chontaduro, yuca, and breadfruit
And they brought people from other places
To come and advise them

Today in the place of coconut, they harvest coca
And instead of love, there is enmity
Instead of traditional music, they listen to basuco
And instead of sugarcane juice, they give marijuana

And as a consequence of these bad changes
Peace in our paradise has ended
And as a consequence of these bad changes
Peace in our paradise has ended

There are no fishermen
Only fish caught
Appearing dead in any mangrove
With their tongues out and fingers cut off
Because they said something that should have been kept
Unrecognizable because they were given
Chemicals used for processing

And as a consequence of these bad changes
Peace in our paradise has ended

Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
Instead of breadfruit, yam, and bread
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
I suffer so much for this and my tears
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
And see beyond, beyond the land of the Sun and the sea
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
Give me some of that skin so I don't make a mistake
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana

Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
It's the recklessness of people who don't think about the future
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
They are entering a sad and dark path
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana

Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
Ale ale ale ale ale hey ale ale
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
Instead of breadfruit, they give marijuana
