Ancestros ft. The Chief Lyrics

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

Daddy was a little man

When they came around

Marchin' through los calles

Telling everyone they down

To start a revolution

And everyone'd be free

Everyone'd be equal

And live in harmony

El pueblo lo creía

'Cause that's everybody's dream

But their words were only lies

That led to poverty

Fake suicides

To cover the murders

keep the truth disguised

Prisoners they tortured

Martyrs of the people

Who wouldn't follow orders

Repression of all freedoms

Disguised as law and order

Dreams become nightmares

People caught in despair

Sheroes stepping up

Trying to save their families

Mother's giving up Their sons

Want them to be free

Daddy grew up fast

Living as a refugee

Coming to America

Tia held his hand

Can't forget her courage

Walking in this foreign land

Couldn't speak the language

But had to understand

Found his inner strength

Learned to be a man

Vowed when he was older

That he finally take a stand

And fight for all our freedoms

'Cause he couldn't for his land

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

Cuando fui a matanza

Aspirina no había

Era puro mentira

A Africa se iba

Quede en la Habana

Y en todas las esquinas

Veía los recuerdos

De mi isla pérdida

Calles destrozadas

La revolución maligna

Sin comida en la casa

Ayuda no había

Presente en nuestra Cuba

Libertad no hay ninguna

Los ojos no lo cierren

No creen en los que mienten

Más vidas se pierden

Orgullo sostiene

Hermanos se mueren

Pero La fe jamás se vence

No pierden coraje mi gente

Ancestros te cuidan por siempre

Tu destino no queda en muerte

Libertad para Cuba ya viene

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

Cuba rise up

Stand your ground

Por patria y vida

Ancestros te cuidan

Cuba rise up

Stand your ground

Por patria y vida

Ancestros te cuidan

Cuba rise up

Stand your ground

Por patria y vida

Ancestros te cuidan

Cuba rise up

Stand your ground

Por patria y vida

Ancestros te cuidan

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round

We can't look back

Or change the past

But I feel you in heaven

Looking down

Prayin' freedom's

Comin' round
