Tú y yo en el balcón
You and I on the balcony
Que asoma a los plantíos de plátano
That overlooks the banana fields
Los patrones han muerto, y tú
The bosses are dead, and you
Aún sigues trapeando el piso de ajedrez
Still mopping the chessboard floor
Ven acá, que desde aquí se logran ver
Come here, from here you can see
Todas las tierras que ahora nuestras son
All the lands that now belong to us
Y el sambo el heredero será
And the heir will be the mixed-race child
Pues de un indio y de una negra, eso da
For from an Indian and a Black, that's what it gives
