Si nos quieren conquistar tendran que quemarnos vivos
If they want to conquer us, they'll have to burn us alive.
Si nos quieren ver bailar al ritmo de cinco siglos
If they want to see us dance to the rhythm of five centuries,
Al cantar esta canción tengo algo que contarles
While singing this song, I have something to tell you all.
Desde ahora quiero ser dueño de mis pasos de baile
From now on, I want to own the steps of my dance.
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo va a lograr?
And dancing a little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could they not achieve it?
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo van a respetar?
And dancing a little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could they not respect it?
Yo no me voy a matar por convicciones ajenas
I'm not going to kill myself for someone else's beliefs.
Y si acaso alguien murió eso confirma la regla
And if someone died, that just confirms the rule.
De que todas estas tendencias nunca nos llevan a nada
That all these trends never lead us to anything.
Y de ahora en adelante mandalas para su casa
And from now on, send them home.
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo va a lograr?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could he not make it?
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo van a respetar?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could they not respect him?
¿Seremos capaces de bailar por nuestra cuenta?
Will we be able to dance on our own?
¿Seremos capaces de bailar?
Will we be able to dance?
¡Basta ya de interrogar!
Enough with the interrogation!
La gente dice que el baile solo es una diversión
People say that dancing is just fun
Y artista extranjero se lleva la comisión
And the foreign artist takes the commission
Conquistare el miedo a sentirme en la vanguardia
I will conquer the fear of feeling at the forefront
Sin tener que ir a New York para ver allá que pasa
Without having to go to New York to see what happens over there
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo va a lograr?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could he not make it?
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo van a respetar?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could they not respect it?
Para yo tirar la piedra no estoy libre de pecado
To throw the stone, I'm not free of sin.
Como todos los mestizos también me maleducaron
Like all mestizos, I was also poorly raised.
Por que ya estoy grandecito para decidir mi vida
Because I'm old enough to decide my life.
Quinientos años frustrados creo que ya fue gran medida
Five hundred years of frustration, I think that's quite enough.
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo va a lograr?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could it not be achieved?
Y bailando caballito con la banda Cafecitos, ¿Como no lo van a respetar?
And dancing little horse with the Cafecitos band, how could they not respect it?
¿Seremos capaces de bailar por nuestra cuenta?
Will we be able to dance on our own?
¿Seremos capaces de bailar?
Will we be able to dance?
¿Seremos capaces de pensar por nuestra cuenta?
Will we be able to think for ourselves?
¿Seremos capaces de pensar?
Can we still think?
¡Basta ya de interrogar!
Enough already with the questioning!
¡Basta ya de interrogar!
Enough already with the questioning!
