El Huevo de Colon

Ladies and gentlemen
What does it matter if he was French, Basque, Martian, woman
From China or Japan
You will understand that I must dedicate a song to him
Now that I'm back with the Mondragón orchestra

Five hundred years have passed, it seems like yesterday
Beating the same egg to the choir of Ferdinand and Isabella
And I who get dizzy with the sea breeze
I weathered the storm to the rhythm of this cha-cha-cha

Columbus the Genoese, Columbus the Portuguese
Columbus had one, oh, Christopher, not two or three
Columbus the Genoese, Columbus the Portuguese
Columbus had one, oh, Christopher, not two or three

We had a rough sea with the crew
The world was round like Columbus' egg
Dressed as an admiral and steering the ship
Cervantes' language will go from Mexico to New York
As soon as I crossed the pond, the Statue of Liberty came to greet me
Upon sighting my ship
