lyrics

Puente A Mi Gente

Si yo pudiera armar un puente
de alma y de corazon
fuera mas largo que noventa millas
sencillo en construccion

de base fe y apoyo al hermano
con deseo de respirar
el aire puro y renovador
de un mar en libertad

agrego tablas de humor que es nuestro
y sobra alla o aqui
al fin de un dia de mucho sudor
sirvo un plato e congri

y cuando llegue el momento esperado
de hacer la connecion
forajamos una acera de clave
de costa a costa un son

Coro 1
un puente a mi gente
Coro 2
Baila y goza en el puente

Bridge To My People
If I could build a bridge
of spirit and heart
It would be longer than 90 miles
and simple in construction

The Base would be help to the brother
with a desire to breathe
the pure and invigorating air
of an ocean at liberty

I would add bricks of humor
which is ours naturally
and in excess there and here
at the end of a work day
Id serve a plate of congri

And when the moment arrives
to make the anticipated connection
We’d pave a road of Clave
From coast to coast a Son
