Mi Gente Lyrics in English Marc Anthony

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Gente by Marc Anthony from Spanish to English.
Ah lala-le
Ah lala-le, le, le, le, le, le lala
My people
You!
The greatest thing in this world
You always make me feel
a deep pride
I called you
Come with me!
You didn't ask me where
I'm proud of you
My people always respond
Everybody came to hear me guaracha
But since I'm yours
I'll invite you to enjoy
With me you will enjoy
I'll invite you to enjoy with me, yes
Let my people sing
Oh, little rumba dancer from the East
Let my people sing
but let my people sing
Let my people sing
Now that I am coming in hot
Let my people sing
With my so tasty rhythm, people dance it
Let my people sing
let my people sing
Let my people sing
Aha
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Rumba dancer from the East
Let my people sing
Now things here got good
Let my people sing
Everybody says that I am hot
Let my people sing
Let them criticize, let them criticize
Let my people sing
Because I bring you a very tasty little thing for all of you
I want that everybody sing
I want that everybody sing my chorus that goes like this
Alala-la-la-la-la is the chorus, and everybody sings
Alala-lala-lala
Let it be heard so that I don't hear anything
Alala-lala-lala
And your grandma Pacheco, where is she?
Alala-lala-lala
She's on the corner singing guilla
Alala-lala-lala
Now it's on
Alala-lala-lala
so tasty to enjoy
Alala-lala-lala
I'm a jíbaro from Puerto Rico
Alala-lala-lala
Lole-lola, lelo-la, lelo-la
Alala-lala-lala
Harder, harder
Alala-lala-lala
Willie
Alala-lala-lala
Alala-lala-lala
Alala-lala-lala
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Let my people sing
Let my people sing

SONG MEANING

¡Mi Gente! is Marc Anthony’s joyful shout-out to the people who have always lifted him up. From the very first chant of “A lala-le” he gathers his crowd, proud Puerto Ricans and anyone who loves salsa alike, and invites them to join the party without even asking where they are headed. The lyrics overflow with gratitude: he calls his audience “lo más grande de este mundo” (the greatest thing in this world) and celebrates the deep pride he feels whenever they answer his call.

The song is a musical block party packed with guaracha rhythms, contagious chorus lines, and playful name-drops (“¿y tu abuela Pacheco?”). Marc acts as both host and cheerleader, urging everyone to sing, dance, and ignore the critics. Each repetition of “Que cante mi gente” reinforces a message of unity and shared joy: the stage belongs to all of us, and the real heat comes from our collective voice. When he says “conmigo sí van a gozar,” he delivers on the promise—turning the track into a living celebration of community, cultural pride, and unstoppable salsa energy.
