Lyrics
En mil cuatrocientos llego colon
Y descubrio esta hermosa isla
Donde habitaba la raza india
La que con el tiempo extermino
Llego la raza africana
Y la mezclaron con la Española
Nacio la mulata criolla
La Cubana
Era una mezcla diferente
Con mucho sabor
Acompañada de la rumba y el guaguanco
Dueños de la clave
Y la magia del tres mas dos
Que nos hizo tan especiales
Gracias a Dios
Coro: Somos Cubanos, Español y Africanos
Lyrics translation
In a thousand four hundred came colon
And he discovered this beautiful island
Where the Indian race lived
The one I eventually exterminate
Here Comes the African race
And they mixed it with the Spanish
Born the Creole mulatto
The Cuban
It was a different mix
With a lot of flavor
Accompanied by rumba and guaguanco
Key owners
And the magic of three plus two
That made us so special
Thank God
Chorus: We are Cuban, Spanish and African
