From Africa they arrivedDel África llegaron
A large number of black peopleGran cantidad de negros
They brought to this landTrajeron a esta tierra
Their flavor, their race, and their very good rhythmSu sabor, su raza y su ritmo tan bueno

Many years passedPasaron muchos años
With sorrows and painsCon penas y dolores
But not even the chains prevented the soundPero ni las cadenas evitaron el sonar
Of the drumsDe los tambores

They had to workTuvieron que trabajar
With the whip, the overseerCon azote, el mayoral
They were given freedomSe les dio la libertad
And now they make us enjoyY ahora nos hacen gozar
