Mi Gente

[CHORUS:]
I suffer, feel, laugh, cry,
keep quiet, scream, with all my people
I suffer, feel, laugh, cry,
keep quiet, scream, because they don't understand me

If I work from sun to sun
if being honest is my religion
I don't need them to tell me
what I can do, no, no, no

If I came from far away to this land,
it was because I had heard the promise
that here I would find the way
to live better...

[CHORUS: 2 Times]

I want them to understand that sweat also runs in me
that I love my land
that it hurts me just like it hurts you...
that they know I am from here like anyone else
to feel ashamed too,
injustices, the poverty of my people...

[CHORUS: 2 times]

I suffer for you so you don't continue like this
I rejoice feeling that you understand me
I laugh seeing all my people laugh
to scream knowing that you feel that way

[CHORUS: 2 times]

It's for my people that I scream
that I scream today
it's for my people that I sing today
I sing for my people
it's for my people that I scream
I scream knowing that you feel that way
it's for my people that I sing today
I sing for my people, I sing for my people, hey, hey, hey... oh, oh
it's for my people that I scream
so they don't suffer like this...
it's for my people that I sing today
it's for my people that I sing today...

this is my land, that's why I sing today
I sing, I sing
this is my land, that's why I sing today
I sing, I sing
this is my land, that's why I sing today
I sing, I sing
this is my land, that's why I sing today
I sing, I sing
this is my land, that's why I sing today
