Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ritmo Que Pesa by Cultura Profética from Spanish to English.
Oye este ritmo que pesa, pesa pesa
Hear this rhythm that weighs, weighs, weighs
(Pesa) Porque tiene la intención
(Weighs) Because he intends
De apelar a esta generación

(Pesa), te digo que pesa
(It weighs), I tell you it weighs
Pesa en tus pies y en tu cabeza
It weighs on your feet and on your head
(Pesa), y trae detalles de mundo
(It weighs), and brings details of the world
Colores y ecos de varios rumbos
Colors and echoes from various directions
De norte a sur, de este a oeste
From north to south, from east to west
Mi ritmo prevalece
My rhythm prevails
(Pesa) Te habla de frente
(Pesa) He speaks to you directly
Te acoge el alma y relaja el ambiente
It welcomes your soul and relaxes the atmosphere
Prestate a sentir pa' que entiendas

Lo que realmente pesa

Un poco de reggae en su pureza

Y ven a probar que esta es legal
And come prove that this is legal
Prestate a escuchar
Be ready to listen
Este ritmo es un canal

Para discutir lo que pasa

Pasó el tiempo y quizás no nos viste

Llegar pero al final

Toda moda viene y va
All fashion comes and goes
Y sólo el sentir de mi gente queda
And only the feelings of my people remain
En esta voz musical

Que representa el padecer

De quien no se limita a mirar

La tragicomedia

De norte a sur cruzando américa
From north to south crossing America
Toda, de norte a sur de este a oeste américa crece

Toda, y digo ven a probar que esta es legal

Prestate a escuchar

Los pies en la tierra

En el tercer tiempo este ritmo que pesa

Se oye simple pero lleva destreza
It sounds simple but it takes skill
En latinoamerica este ritmo arrecia

Por su ideal, su firmeza

Lo puedes bailar, pero también lo piensas
You can dance it, but you also think about it
Que no te guste me suena a rareza
That you don't like it sounds strange to me
Muévete deja la pereza
Move, leave laziness
Que hoy vamo' a reír la tristeza

Oye este ritmo que pesa, pesa pesa
