Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es culcha candela wer denn sonst
Por mi clica represento todo el tiempo
Con mi ritmo duro y suave como el viento
Por que en los buenos y en los malos tiempo estan conmigo
Y es por eso que la respeto y por ella vivo
Si te sientes mal prende una vela
Somos una berraquera ‘jo’ mueve tu cadera
Raperos de la viega escuela yo me mido von quien quiera
So now we move up come down spreading love upon di town
Move yo body to da sound and dance all around
This is how we celebrate di loce we fight for
Killing all the prejudices in a dance floor
So vamonos muchachos we move out of Babylon now
Join us to make this ya world a better place
Vamonos muchachos it’s time fi action now
Today cause progress can’t wait
Me say culture candela me friend wicked a massive chant amen
Hypocrites and layman all me gonna slaughter dem
Follow we in this ya brand new area
Out of this mess and the worldwide terror
Es culcha candela union verdadera
Es culcha candela wer denn sonst
Where di culture me bring now
There shall be no more killing
Now where the culture me bring
Me chant for unification
Of black and white man and woman
Together we shall be strong now
Where di culture me bring it for
Through di candela crew
Nosotros mezclamos ritmos con liricas
Como cocineros en sus cocinas
Mezclando cosas, ri ri ri ri ricas
Coreano africano polaco y colombianos
Somos hermanos por eso juntos representamos
Culcha who? Culcha what? culcha candela
Armadas hasta los dientes preparados para la pelea
Culcha candela union verdadera
Diese wahre einheit macht die horizonte heller denn
Always bereit machen sie den shit tight
Also kauft euch mal ein ticket und kommt mit uns auf den flight
Nicht zu zweit nicht allein sondern krasse mulitshow
Mit dem german mit dem spanish mit dem englisch rap stilo
Wussup bro’polacko chino afro latino
Get your ass on the da floor or just move as if you know
Es culcha candela union verdadera
Es culcha candela wer denn sonst
Where di culture me bring now

Als Culcha Candela noch das war was sie einst representiert haben. Erster Live Auftritt in Olten in der Schützi. Das waren geile Zeiten

Damals hab ich noch mein Musikrefarat über Culcha gemacht. Da fand ich sie auch noch echt Super. Aber diese Mainstream Partymukke die sie nun machen, ist einfach nur nervig... Leider sind sie dem Geld gefolgt.
