Translation of the song lyrics Somos Cubanos - Juan Formell Y Los Van Van

Somos Cubanos (original)

En mil cuatrocientos llego colon
Y descubrio esta hermosa isla
Donde habitaba la raza india
La que con el tiempo extermino
Llego la raza africana
Y la mezclaron con la Española
Nacio la mulata criolla
La Cubana
Era una mezcla diferente
Con mucho sabor
Acompañada de la rumba y el guaguanco
Dueños de la clave
Y la magia del tres mas dos
Que nos hizo tan especiales
Gracias a Dios
Coro: Somos Cubanos, Español y Africanos

Somos Cubanos (translation)

In fourteen hundred colon arrived
And discovered this beautiful island
Where did the Indian race live?
The one that with time exterminated
The African race arrived
And they mixed it with the Spanish
The Creole mulatto was born
The Cuban
It was a different mix
with a lot of flavor
Accompanied by rumba and guaguanco
Key Owners
And the magic of three plus two
what made us so special
Thanks god
Choir: We are Cubans, Spanish and Africans
