Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oveja Negra by Llane from Spanish to English.
Ser diferente pa' algunos es extraño
Being different for some is strange
La oveja negra del rebaño
The black sheep of the herd
Aprendí que no hay mal que dure mil años
I learned that no evil lasts a thousand years
El flaco de pelo castaño
The thin one with brown hair
Mami me enseñó
Mom taught me
Que triunfa el que no se quita
That the one who doesn't give up triumphs
Feliz no es el que más tiene
Happy is not the one who has the most
Es el que menos necesita
It's the one who needs the least
La vida es dura, pero bonita
Life is tough, but beautiful
Si quieres llorar, llora
If you want to cry, cry
Y si quieres gritar, grita
And if you want to scream, scream
Mixed with Cuban
Mixed with Cuban
Mixed with South, South African
Mixed with South, South African
Raised in Virginia
Raised in Virginia
Babied in these women
Babied in these women
We are united by melodies
We are united by melodies
By rhythm and sound, so I
By rhythm and sound, so I
Play the saxo, she scream
Play the saxo, she scream
She love my energy
She love my energy
Took her to Medellín
Took her to Medellín
I told her everything
I told her everything
Bu-bu-bu-bu, bum-bum
Bu-bu-bu-bu, bum-bum
Ser diferente pa' algunos es extraño
Being different for some is strange
La oveja negra del rebaño
The black sheep of the herd
Aprendí que no hay mal que dure mil años
I learned that no evil lasts a thousand years
El flaco de pelo castaño
The thin one with brown hair
Mami me enseñó
Mom taught me
Que triunfa el que no se quita
That the one who doesn't give up triumphs
Feliz no es el que más tiene
Happy is not the one who has the most
Es el que menos necesita
It's the one who needs the least
La vida es dura, pero bonita
Life is tough, but beautiful
Si quieres llorar, llora
If you want to cry, cry
Y si quieres gritar, grita
And if you want to scream, scream
Y sin esperar de lo que tú me das
And without expecting what you give me
Yo tengo el remedio pa' tu enfermedad
I have the remedy for your illness
Cambio tus lágrimas por felicidad
I exchange your tears for happiness
Amor pa' mi gente con prosperidad
Love for my people with prosperity
Yo vengo de Medallo
I come from Medellín
Orgulloso de mi realidad
Proud of my reality
Sabaneta mi barrio
Sabaneta, my neighborhood
Donde sin agua se aprende a nadar
Where you learn to swim without water
Ya sanaron todas mis cicatrices
All my scars have healed
Se acabaron to' los días grises
All the gray days are over
Que cante, mi familia me dice
Sing, my family tells me
Despegó el avión y no creo que lo aterrice
The plane took off and I don't think it will land
Me hice dueño de mi destino
I became the owner of my destiny
Va por mi gente, yo soy Llane y esto es Fino
This is for my people, I am Llane and this is Fino
Set the scene, Medellín
Set the scene, Medellín
City in the middle of mountains and trees
City in the middle of mountains and trees
Next to me, nephew and niece
Next to me, nephew and niece
Will not be no violence with kins next to me
There will be no violence with family next to me
