Por mi piel morena borraron mi identidad
Because of my brown skin they erased my identity
Me sentí pisoteado por toda la sociedad
I felt trampled on by the whole society
Me tuve que hacer fuerte por necesidad
I had to become strong out of necessity
Fui el hombre de la casa a muy temprana edad
I was the man of the house at a very young age
Desde que nací conocí la necesidad
Since I was born I knew the need
Mi corazón descalzo se perdió en la ciudad
My barefoot heart was lost in the city
De mis suelas gastadas de tanto caminar
From my worn soles from so much walking
Aprendí de la vida la calle y su soledad
I learned from life the street and its loneliness
Ya que todo lo que tengo, tengo, tengo es mi verdad
Since all I have, have, have is my truth
Y que solo me acompaña paña paña mi verdad
And that only accompanies me paña paña my truth
Verdad, verdad mi verdad
Truth, truth my truth
No quiero tu autoridad
I don't want your authority
Solo quiero caminar con dignidad
I just want to walk with dignity
Y conquistar mi libertad
And conquer my freedom
Mi gente de piel
My skin people
Sequedad y tempestad
Dryness and storm
Los ojos de mi barrio se llueven en humedad

Contra viento y marea creamos humanidad
Against all odds we create humanity
En contra del silencio rompiendo la frialdad
Against silence breaking the coldness
Ya que todo lo que tengo, tengo, tengo es mi verdad
Since all I have, have, have is my truth
Y que solo me acompaña paña paña mi
And that only accompanies me paña paña mi
Verdad, verdad mi verdad
Truth, truth my truth
No quiero tu autoridad

Donde ustedes ven el miedo nosotros vemos verdad

Ustedes crían rabia al nombre de la autoridad

Ustedes son los pobres carecen de dignidad

No tenemos espacios tenemos la vecindad
We don't have spaces we have the neighborhood
No tenemos sus guardias tenemos comunidad
We don't have their guards we have community
Necesitan nuestra música para ver la realidad

Pero jamás conocerás la solidaridad

Desde que nací conocí la necesidad
Since I was born I knew the need
Aprendí de la vida la calle y su soledad
I learned from life the street and its loneliness
Mi verdad
My truth
