| Mi pais, ta un lugá chikitu Ku un historia riku Pieda, mondi, bientu i laman Ta mi isla i e ta intresante Ku bista impaktante i partinan dañá I unda ku mi ta… Mi pais, t'un ku sa di pobresa atrako i malesa i hende ku tin bia ta molestiá Ta mi isla i e ta impreshonante K'un pueblo elegante i un par ku no ke tra'a I unda ku mi ta… Mi ta un tiki preokupá pa mi baranka, mi lugá Mi no por mira den futuro i mi no sa kon kos lo ta Ma mi ta resa pidi Dios pa de bes en kuando Si e tin un chèns e yuda nos Djis drecha algun kos i kuida loke ta di nos Mi pais ta un isla hopi dushi kaminda mi lombrishi pa semper ta derá… |
| My country, is a small place With a rich history Rocks, bushes, wind and sea It's my island and it's interesting With stunning views and damaged parts And wherever I am... My country is one that knows of poverty, Robbery, and disease, and people who are sometimes annoying It's my island and it's impressive With elegant people and a few that aren't good for anything And wherever I am... I'm a little worried for my rock, my place, I can't look into the future and I don't know how it will be But I pray to God every once in a while, If he has a chance, and to help us, Just to fix some things and to take care of what is ours My country is a very lovely island It's where my umbilical cord Will always be
