Lyrics of Mi Gente - A.B. Quintanilla III, Kumbia Kings, Ozomatli

Mi Gente (original)

Sufro, siento, rio, lloro,
callo, grito, con toda mi gente
sufro, siento, rio, lloro,
callo, grito, por que no me entienden
Si yo;
trabajo de sol a sol
si ser honesto es mi religion
yo no necesito que me digan
que es lo que puedo hacer, no no que no Si yo vine de lejos a esta tierra,
fue por que havia escuchado la promesa
que aqui yo encontraria la manera
para poder vivir mejor…
Yo quiero que entiendan que en mi tambien corre el sudor
que yo quiero a mi tierra
que ami tambien me duele lo mismo que austed…
que sepan que yo soy de aqui como lo es cualquiera
que tambien me da pena,
las injusticias, la pobresa de mi gente…
Sufro por ti para que no sigas asi
gozo al sentir que tu me entiendes a mi rio al mirar toda mi gente reir
grito al saver que tu te sientes asi
Por mi gente es que grito yo es que grito hoy
por mi gente es que canto hoy
es que canto pa’mi gente
por mi gente es que grito yo grito al saver que tu te sientes asi
por mi gente es que canto hoy
canto de mi gente, canto por mi gente eh, eh, i, eh… oh, oh por mi gente es que grito yo que no sufra mas asi…
por mi gente es que canto hoy
por mi gente es que canto hoy…
esta es mi tierra por ella es que hoy canto yo canto, canto
esta es mi tierra por ella es que hoy canto yo canto, canto
esta es mi tierra por ella es que hoy canto yo canto, canto
esta es mi tierra por ella es que hoy canto yo canto, canto
esta es mi tierra por ella es que hoy canto yo

(translation)

I suffer, I feel, I laugh, I cry,
I shut up, I scream, with all my people
I suffer, I feel, I laugh, I cry,
I shut up, I scream, because they don't understand me
If I;
I work from sunrise to sunset
if being honest is my religion
I don't need you to tell me
What can I do, no no no If I came from afar to this land,
It was because he had heard the promise
that here I would find the way
in order to live better...
I want you to understand that my sweat also runs
that I love my land
that it also hurts me the same as you…
that they know that I am from here as is anyone
that also makes me sad,
the injustices, the poverty of my people…
I suffer for you so that you don't continue like this
I enjoy feeling that you understand my river when looking at all my people laugh
I scream to saver that you feel like this
It is for my people that I shout, it is that I shout today
for my people is that I sing today
is that I sing for my people
for my people is that I scream I scream when I know that you feel like this
for my people is that I sing today
I sing for my people, I sing for my people eh, eh, i, eh… oh, oh it is for my people that I cry that I should not suffer like this anymore…
for my people is that I sing today
It is for my people that I sing today…
this is my land for her is that today I sing I sing, I sing
this is my land for her is that today I sing I sing, I sing
this is my land for her is that today I sing I sing, I sing
this is my land for her is that today I sing I sing, I sing
this is my land for her is that today I sing
