Han Cojido La Cosa

They've taken the thing Han cogido la cosa, That they mock me to laugh que pa reirse se burlan de mi They've taken the thing han cogido la cosa, That they grab me to laugh que pa reirse me agarran a mi

That I have a big mouth and nose Que tengo grande la boca y la nariz, That they don't find anything good about me que nada bueno no me encuentran a mi That I'm dark-skinned, that I'm carabali que yo soy prieto, que soy carabalí, But proud I feel this way pero orgulloso me siento yo así

They've taken the thing Han cogido la cosa...

That I've been in mourning since the day I was born Que estoy de luto desde el dia que nací, That God didn't make work for me que trabajar no lo hizo Dios para mi That they roasted me as if I were coffee que me tostaron como si fuera cafe, That they brewed me and I stayed black que me colaron y negrito quede

They've taken the thing Han cogido la cosa, That they mock me to laugh que pa reirse se burlan de mi They've taken the thing La cosa la han cogido That they grab me to laugh que pa reirse me agarran a mi
