Al Son de La Marimba y Bombo
Carlos Hurtado
To the Sound of the Marimba and Bass Drum
If someone asked me where I come from
From the Pacific Coast is where I am
Where Christ is also praised from the heart
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Black, mixed with native Indian
From the coast I bring this rhythm
A new song that Christ gave me
To proclaim his gospel
To testify that Christ saves
Even where saltwater abounds
Where crabs and shrimp grow
God also loves the humble fisherman
To the sound of the marimba, cununo
To the sound of the guasa and bass drum
I also praise the Lord
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
To the sound of the marimba, cununo
To the sound of the guasa and bass drum
I also praise the Lord
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
I rhyme down canoe and waterway
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Preaching to all my people
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Naidí, chontaduro are not enough
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
God has given his word to feed us
And I travel the Chocó coast
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Valle del Cauca, Cauca and Nariño
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
I grab my suitcase, I go to the Caribbean
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Announcing with my song that Jesus Christ lives
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
Bass drum, marimba, cununo, guasá
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
With my Christ I will enjoy
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
I will sing a new song to Jehovah
I will sing a new song to his majesty
I will sing a new song to Jehovah
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
To the sound of the marimba and bass drum
