África (original)África (translation)
Estoy buscando mi apellido africano I am looking for my African surname
Apellido atrapado en un barco de esclavos Surname trapped on a slave ship
Nombre que escapó de la historia Name that escaped history
Santo y sena que se quedó en la memoria Santo y sena that stayed in the memory
Apellido que pasó el mar Surname that passed the sea
Sangre navegable que se pudo salvar Navigable blood that could be saved
Del abismo y la cadena, de una enorme condena From the abyss and the chain, from an enormous condemnation
De un látigo criminal Of a criminal whip
Debes ver, conocer, dónde están las raíces You must see, know, where are the roots
Para comprender y apreciar To understand and appreciate
Una herencia ancestral que no sé por qué An ancestral heritage that I don't know why
Desapareció del registro oficial Disappeared from the official registry
Pero no de la gente y su día a día But not of the people and their day to day
Cuando el alma se agranda y te mira When the soul enlarges and looks at you
Apellido africano y esclavo, mandinga y nocturno African surname and slave, mandingo and nocturnal
Regresa al caribe return to the caribbean
Africa regresa al Caribe Africa returns to the Caribbean
Puedo ver y reconocer I can see and recognize
Nuestro nombre en el cuero del tambor aquel Our name on the leather of that drum
Hasta lo puedo escuchar afinado, igual que golpeado, maltratado I can even hear it in tune, just like beaten, battered
Alguna vez adorado ever adored
Ancestro extraviado lost ancestor
Escapado cimarrón de este pueblo fundador Escaped maroon from this founding town
Defensor hasta la muerte de una suerte Defender to the death of a lucky
Que en vida no le tocó That in life he did not touch
Resistir, aguantar, perdonar sin olvidar Resist, endure, forgive without forgetting
Más que nada sobrevivir y seguir More than anything survive and carry on
Adelante renacer y volver Go ahead, be reborn and come back
Con fuertes raíces resucitar y existir With strong roots resurrect and exist
Con mi apellido africano With my African surname
Con la fuerza del pasado en las manos With the force of the past in the hands
Asaltar y tomar raid and take
El futuro escondido renegado The Renegade Hidden Future
Africa regresa al Caribe Africa returns to the Caribbean
Africa regresa al CaribeAfrica returns to the Caribbean
