Sangre de Indio

I know I have some Indian in me
Because I feel it in my blood
I know I have some Indian in me
Because I feel it in my blood

If they say I'm mixed
Let those who know say it
My pride is my Indian blood
And my plumage is of quetzal

I was born in the flower of the mountains
Among many coffee plantations
I was lulled by the mockingbirds
And in the wind among the cornfields

That's why my blood vibrates
When I get excited, oh
When I get emotional, oh
When I'm happy, oh
When I'm jealous, oh
And if I fall in love
I feel it boiling
My Indian blood explodes
That I carry in my veins

I was born in red lands
Where camellias grow
I was born in red lands
Where camellias grow

From the Indian I have the inheritance
To adore beautiful women
And light up with fireflies
And sing to the stars
I like to bathe in the rivers
Sheltered by the mountains
And sleep in the ferns
And love my beautiful land

That's why my blood vibrates
When I get excited, oh
When I get emotional, oh
When I'm happy, oh
When I'm jealous, oh
And if I fall in love
I feel it boiling
My Indian blood explodes
That I carry in my veins
