Here I was born, here I grew up
Oh how beautiful even the sky that covers me
And that December breeze that comes into the house
How tasty is the salt of the sea of my beach
That even though it has no train, its Sierra is snow-capped
Where the sun hits my skin
From the dreams that I never woke up
The one from the photo at sunset
And now I come back to see you again
From the neighborhood corner dancing at the party
Where everybody drinks with the door open
There’s no winter nor spring
It’s summer the whole life
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
A little rain bath and a fresh fruit
Who wants green mango and shaved ice with cola?
Here all the sorrows go away with the waves
I grew up watching the sunset
Like I have never seen them again
And I learned to be happy living in the now
Because the Caribbean wraps itself around my being
And if it’s possible to be born again
I would choose this place, its color and its aroma
And on a neighborhood corner dancing champeta
Eating butifarra until dawn
There’s no winter nor spring
It’s summer the whole life
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
A little rain bath and a fresh fruit
One day I had to leave La Samaria
And the world wasn’t the same far from there
And even though destiny wanted it, I dodged it, I never left
It doesn’t matter where I was
It doesn’t matter who I was with
It doesn’t matter what happened, I was from here
There’s no winter nor spring
It’s summer the whole life
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
A ripe banana on the table
Because the Caribbean wraps itself around my being
And if I had to be born again
I would choose this place, I would choose here and now
I am from here, I am from here
I was born here and I grew up here
I am from here, I am from here
I was born here and I grew up here
