Mi Gente

I suffer, I feel, I laugh, I cry
I stay quiet, I shout, with all my people
I suffer, I feel, I laugh, I cry
I stay quiet, I shout, 'cause they don't understand me

If I work from dawn to dusk
If being honest is my religion
I don't need anyone to tell me
What I can do, no, no, no

If I came from far away to this land
It’s 'cause I heard the promise
That here I would find a way
To live better

I want them to understand that I sweat too
That I love my land
That I feel the same pain as you do
That they know I’m from here just like anyone else
That it also hurts me
The injustices, the poverty of my people

I suffer for you so you don’t stay like this
I rejoice knowing you understand me
I laugh seeing all my people laugh
I shout knowing you feel this way

I shout for my people
I shout today
I sing for my people today
I sing for my people
I shout for my people
I shout knowing
That you feel this way
I sing for my people today
I sing for my people, I sing for my people eh, eh, ih, eh, oh, oh
I shout for my people
So they don’t suffer like this anymore
I sing for my people today
I sing for my people today

This is my land, for it I sing today
I sing, I sing
This is my land, for it I sing today
I sing, I sing
This is my land, for it I sing today
I sing, I sing
This is my land, for it I sing today
I sing, I sing
This is my land, for it I sing today
