Hey!Hey!

Where were you when I needed you the mostDonde estaban cuando mas falta me hacian
Not even a callNi tan solo una llamada
Not even a messageNi siquiera me escribian
They beat their chests for the kinshipSe dan golpes de pecho por el parentezco
But send more potatoes if I deserve morePero mandan mas papas si mas merezco
I knew this was comingYo sabia que esto venia
That's why I insistedPor eso insistia
Even though I suffered, they told me tomorrow will be my dayAunque sufria, mañana sera mi dia me decian
It feels so good to feel the love of my peopleQue bien se siente, sentir el cariño de mi gente
From my island and neighboring placesDe mi isla y lugares adyacentes
I have a huge family nowTengo una familia inmensa ahora
They're with me at all timesEsta conmigo a to'as horas
Watching over meQue me vigila
And advising me sincerelyY que me aconseja de cora
Speaking the truths and lies upfrontQue habla de frente las verdades y las mentiras
If I'm doing well, they support meQue si estoy pegao me apoyan
And if I'm not good enough, they throw me awayY si no sirvo me tiran
