Aprendiendo A Cantar

I learned to sing on the street
my influences, Jamaica and Panama
something as natural as life itself

I learned to sing on the street
no one taught me in any school
no one taught me music theory today or how to carry a tune

I learned to sing at home
I have to thank my mom
since I was little she played me music

From afar, you can see them coming
they know we’re here
those who want to take advantage of you
those who try to confuse
their mission is to capture
every soul, with vanity
fame and gold will give you
temporary happiness, you’ll see
in time, you’ll realize
that life before wasn’t so bad
be grateful to lament, for those who are enslaved

I learned to sing on the street
my influence, the roots, the land
something as natural as life itself

I learned to sing on the street
no one taught me in any school
no one taught me music theory today or how to carry a tune

I learned to sing in my neighborhood
I have to thank my mom
since I was little she played me music

I never wanted to be first
nor did I start this for the money
I don’t want to compare myself to anyone
this is my job and I take it seriously
I surround myself with the people I love and care for
things are transparent, with no mystery
I can make mistakes sometimes
there were some who pulled my leg
they’ll promise you things that aren’t true
the contract they’ll have you sign
you’ll be trapped before you know it
now you’re just another product...

I learned to sing on the street
my influences, Jamaica and Panama
something as natural as life itself

I learned to sing on the street
no one taught me in any school
no one taught me music theory today or how to carry a tune

I learned to sing on the street
I have to thank my mom
since I was little she played me music...

I learned to sing on the street
my influences, Jamaica and Panama
something as natural as life itself...

Until when will they keep deceiving the people...
Sincerely, JAH Nattoh is the one singing to you...
