This is the Colombia, Jamaica united family
Resurrection
The power of your love runs through my veins
Like a flame
Revelation
I will taste your cherry kiss once again
It's our day
Me despertó tu sonrisa
Your smile woke me up
Esa delicia de tu boca perfecta, oh-oh
That delight of your perfect mouth, oh-oh
(Beautiful, beautiful smile)
Me despediste en la puerta
You said goodbye at the door
Y me amarraste un hilo de la muñeca
And you tied a thread around my wrist
(Magical flame in the air)
Para pensarte
To think of you
Para saber cómo estás tú, Aietmetzare
To know how you are, Aietmetzare
Para llevarme algo de ti por todas partes
To carry something of you everywhere
Para que viva nuestro amor, Nunayunabi
So our love can live, Nunayunabi
Nunayunabi por ti
Nunayunabi for you
Baby girl, you got a heap a energy
Magdalena river full a naturality
Magdalena river full of naturality
You da fruit like cherry, sugah mango, like plum
You the fruit like cherry, sugar mango, like plum
Coconut milk ina pot a rondon
Coconut milk in a pot of rondon
Groove high from you head to you belly
Sierra Nevada cogui community
Raizal, african, chimilas come
Rebirth and raise again
Rebirth and rise again
The story of our love strong like a mountain
Yeah
Revelation
Kisses rising in tides upon the ocean
Can you feel emotion?
Mira que la luna ya ilumina Maroma
Look, the moon is already lighting up Maroma
Mira qué bella, mira la Nona
Look how beautiful, look at Nona
Mira cómo luce con su manto tairona
Look how she shines with her Tairona cloak
Mira qué bella, mira qué mona
Look how beautiful, look how adorable
Ella es más antigua que la misma Noboba
She is older than Noboba herself
Mira qué bella, mira la Nona
Look how beautiful, look at Nona
Mira la nevada que a lo lejos se asoma
Look at the snowfall appearing in the distance
Mira qué bella, mira qué mona
Look how beautiful, look how fine
Mira cómo baja con su traje de novia
Look how she descends in her wedding dress
Se parece a la gloria
She resembles glory
Alta como la noria
Tall like the Ferris wheel
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Some a da light make ih bright
Some of the light makes it bright
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Some a da magic in the night
Some of the magic in the night
The thread, the thread, the thread
De hold on so tight
To hold on so tight
De take off me breath
To take off my breath
A de love you fi spoit
To love you forever
Rondon, stew plum, sugah mango, cherry kiss
Me no blame you fi the sweet sugah taste you put pan this
I don't blame you for the sweet sugar taste you put on this
Me da the island man, Indian, African
I'm the island man, Indian, African
All Providence numbah one
All Providence number one
Now I will think of you
And you will think of me
Aietmetzare
And I will take a part of you
Wherever I be
I know our love will see you through
Nunayunabi, Nunayunabi for you
Ya cambiará mi suerte
My luck will change
Mi promesa de verte
My promise to see you
De quedarme contigo
To stay with you
Tranquilo en nuestro nido
Calm in our nest
