Han Cojido La Cosa
Han cogido la cosa,
que pa reirse se burlan de mi
han cogido la cosa,
que pa reirse me agarran a mi
Que tengo grande la boca y la nariz,
que nada bueno no me encuentran a mi
que yo soy prieto, que soy carabalí,
pero orgulloso me siento yo así
Han cogido la cosa...
Que estoy de luto desde el dia que nací,
que trabajar no lo hizo Dios para mi
que me tostaron como si fuera cafe,
que me colaron y negrito quede
Han cogido la cosa,
que pa reirse se burlan de mi
La cosa la han cogido
que pa reirse me agarran a mi
Coro:
Blanco corriendo, atleta, negro corriendo, ratero
blanco sin grado doctor y el negrito yerbatero (bis)
Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah sonero (Y el negrito yerbatero)
Con eso le doy duro a los cueros (Y el negrito yerbatero)
vamos a hacer la cuenta (Y el negrito yerbatero)
que cuando se trata de salsa de rumba, yo si soy salsero(Y el negrito yerbatero)
cuando suena como suena me vuelvo sonero(Y el negrito yerbatero)
zapatero a tu zapato, lo que yo soy es rumbero(Y el negrito yerbatero)
rumba!
Han cogido la cosa, la cosa la han cogido
Que me queme Que me queme,
y he quedado como un tizon y de ñapa disque me han
puesto el negrito bembón bembón
Han cogido la cosa, la cosa la han cogido
pero qué otra cosa grande tiene
que tengo grande la boca y la nari'
que otra cosa grande tendre yo por ahí
Han cogido la cosa, la cosa la han cogido
que si no lo hago a la entrada,
la embarro a la salida,
ay quién puede ser negro, que cosa que tan jodida
Sura negro sura
Blanco corriendo, atleta, negro corriendo, ratero
blanco sin grado doctor y el negrito yerbatero
Y el negrito yerbatero
They've Taken The Thing
They've taken the thing
That they mock me to laugh
They've taken the thing
That they grab me to laugh
That I have a big mouth and nose
That they don't find anything good about me
That I'm dark-skinned, that I'm carabali
But proud I feel this way
They've taken the thing
That I've been in mourning since the day I was born
That God didn't make work for me
That they roasted me as if I were coffee
That they brewed me and I stayed black
They've taken the thing
That they mock me to laugh
They've taken the thing
That they grab me to laugh
Chorus
White running, athlete, black running, thief
White without degree doctor and the little black herb gatherer (repeat)
Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah sonero (and the little black herb gatherer)
With that I hit the drums hard (and the little black herb gatherer)
Let's do the math (and the little black herb gatherer)
That when it comes to salsa and rumba, I am a true salsa dancer (and the little black herb gatherer)
When it sounds like it sounds, I become a sonero (and the little black herb gatherer)
Cobbler to your shoe, what I am is a rumbero (and the little black herb gatherer)
Rumba!
They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
That I got burned, that I got burned
And I've stayed like a charred stick and on top of that they've
Named me the little black man with big lips big lips
They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
But what other big thing do I have
That I have a big mouth and nose
What other big thing will I have around here
They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
If I don't do it at the entrance
I mess it up (crap it) at the exit
Oh who can be black, what a damn thing
Pretty sure it's suda negra suda which is sweat black girl sweat
White running, athlete, black running, thief
White without a degree doctor and the little black herb gatherer
And the little black herb gatherer
