Óigame Juan Nadal, your drum was perfect. Delegación del Oeste Chorus Óigame, Juan Nadal, your drum was perfect. Playing with Papo Ale and composing to a son.

Mayagüez has remembered you because your legacy remained with (unintelligible). When the bomba sounded you were the subidor, sharing your culture, marking its value. Pride of Mayagüez, pride of a nation. Master of my culture, echoing that drum. And to the Mayagüez bomba, you were born in its heart, and today the new bomberos who sing this song… And we bomberos say to you: your drum was perfect. And for many bomberos: your drum was perfect. You played with all the greats: your drum was perfect. You were the best: your drum was perfect. Pride of my culture: your drum was perfect. Pride of a nation: your drum was perfect. Mayagüez has remembered you: your drum was perfect. Your legacy remained: your drum was perfect. And the new bombero: your drum was perfect. We sing you this song: your drum was perfect.

“Se me rompió el tambor” – Delegación del Este Chorus My drum broke, oh what a shame, oh what pain. I’m looking for an artisan who will put their heart into it. Verses I travel all around the island, and I play over there with Wilfredo Morales. The great Kichi turned into a werewolf, and now tell me what I’m supposed to do if my drum breaks. I asked Jesús Cepeda if he could help me in that situation. He told me to be patient and to put intention into it without desperation. So I called Papo del Valle, and I also thought of Emmanuel Martínez, who might be able to solve this emergency. Then call Víctor Vélez or Rafael Trinidad Maurás. They don’t answer me, and I don’t want to imagine that I won’t be able to play it anymore… my drum is breaking. At that drum gathering the problem was solved, because Alcadio Quiñones put his heart into it, and the drum will sound again.

"Tanta Indecencia" - Guillermo Mundo
Coro
Yo no pedí venir aquí,
yo no pedí vivir aquí,
yo no pedí, óyeme bien,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia.
Yo no pedí, óyeme bien,
tanta indecencia.
Verso
Me sacaron de mi tierra,
en cadenas me llevaron.
Ni a mi hermana o mi hermano
pude volver a ver.
A latigazos me humillaron
y mi piel ellos marcaron.
Solo a la caña le cantaba
mi querer.
Coro
Yo no pedí venir aquí,
yo no pedí vivir aquí,
yo no pedí, óyeme bien,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia.
Versos
Me quitaron mi esencia,
mi nombre me cambiaron,
y otro dios me presentaron.
Y atrás dejé, en mi memoria,
toda mi historia.
Fui libre una vez
y lo seré.
Coro
Yo no pedí venir aquí,
yo no pedí vivir aquí,
yo no pedí, óyeme bien,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia.
Verso
El mayoral me castigaba,
sangre y sudor me costaba,
pero mi alma siempre libre
quiso ser.
La dignidad y el coraje
hacia donde me llevaron.
Era la muerte o la libertad
de mi ser.
Coro
Yo no pedí venir aquí,
yo no pedí vivir aquí,
yo no pedí, óyeme bien,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia,
tanta indecencia.

Despierta de ese sueño,
es hora de luchar.
