SOY LATINOAMERICANO SEÑOR GRINGO
I’M LATIN MR GRINGO
Soy latinoamericano , señor gringo. Mi piel tiene el color de la canela, y huele a nuestra tierra Mis acciones en ocasiones van unidas a problemas Porque vienen del corazón. Me gusta la música los colores y la vida. Soy Latinoamericano señor gringo Mis antepasados fueron creadores de una civilización evolucionada, personajes convertidos hoy en mitos y leyendas: Tupac-Amaru, Bolivar, Sucre, Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, Manuelita Saenz, Sandic, Sandino, Pancho Villa, Hidalgo y Costilla,Cuitlauac, Josefa Ortiz. La lista es larga. Soy Latinoamericano señor gringo. Mis ancestros fueron más espirituales que sus religiones de moral invertida, Fueron más avanzados en lo que atañe a la vida, Que los últimos desarrollos de su sociedad conflictiva.
My skin has the colour of cinnamon and smells of the riches of my land. I love music, bright colors and life my actions sometimes are tied to trouble because they come from the heart I’m Latinamerican, Mr. Gringo, My forbears created an advanced civilization Actors of a slot in history that made them Into legends and heroes of our time Tupac-Amaru, caupolican, Bolivar, Sucre, Manuelita Saenz, Hidalgo y Costilla, Morelos, Josefa Ortiz, Cuitlahuac, Cuautemoch, Marti. They were more spiritual that your religions of inverted moral, more focused on matters that matter to life than any or the latest development of your developed world I am Latin American Mr. Gringo I talk your language with an accent loaded with the rhythm and the music I was fed as a baby with.
