Carabelas cargadas de malos presagios
Caravels loaded with ominous signs
Emisarios de la trampa y de la colonización
Emissaries of the trap and colonization
Tocan tierra provocando un gran naufragio
They touch the land causing a great shipwreck
Cargados de demonios y una nueva religión
Loaded with demons and a new religion
Pisaron tierra de Guanahani
They stepped on the soil of Guanahani
Bienvenida la desolación
Welcome the desolation
Esos sueños de estafa y de saqueo
Those dreams of scams and plunder
Ese gusto por el oro y esas ansias de poder
That taste for gold and those thirsts for power
Es el cáncer que aún enferma al heredero
It's the cancer that still infects the heir
Es la historia de una tierra condenada a padecer
It's the story of a land doomed to suffer
Pero el negro, el indio y el español
But the Black, the Indian, and the Spanish
Se mezclaron para darle un gusto a Dios
Blended together to please God
Pero el negro, el indio y el español
But the Black, the Indian, and the Spanish
Se mezclaron para darle un gusto a Dios
Blended together to please God
