Heather Headley/Orishas Lyrics

Represent, Represent, Cuba, Orishas underground de Havana
We represent Cuba through Orishas underground music from Havana

Represent, Represent Cuba, hey mi musica
We represent Cuba, hey listen to our music

Ven que te quiero cantar de corazon asi La historia de mis raizes Rumba son why guaguanco todo mezclado Pa' que lo bailes tu Mira, ay quien no baila en Havana
Let me sing to you from my heart, the story of my roots, a mixture of rumba, son and guaguancó for you to dance to. Look, everyone dances in Havana.

Candidato (Uh Huh) Pa' rumbiar en la cadencia Represento a mis ancestros toda la mezcla (Ves) No lo pierdas bro (Yo) Latino Americano deHavana te lo mando Con sabor mejor Aprenderas que en la rumba esta la esencia Que en mi guaguanco es sabroso why tiene buena mezcla (cudes) A mi vieja why linda Havana (Havana) Un sentimiento de manana (Havana) Todo eso representas Cubaaaaaa!!!
I'm the candidate to make you dance in rhythm. I represent our ancestors' mix, which you can hear, latino-American of Havana, with even better flavor. You will learn that the essence of rumba lies in my guaguanco's tasty mix. I represent my beautiful, old Havana, and all the feelings for tomorrow. All of this is what Cuba represents.

Para la gente, mi zona Pa mi santo especulando En el micro, escucha como dice maico nico La musica cubana vale mucho chico Mi son why estilo viene de Havana
For the people in my area, I'm speculating on my saints. Listen on the radio to what Maico Nico says, Cuban music is worth so much. My son and style come from Havana.

Ba !! ba !! vas why et bouge ton cul sur le beat ecoutes ca Je preche pour ma Chapelle Panam, je represente gars, Mes refre (freres upside down) de la havana Je rap, see'est mon Dada Maico, Nico, chico soy loco si freno
Come on, come on, move your ass on the beat, listen to this. I preach about my Chapel, Panama, and represent my brothers from Havana. I rap, it's my style, Maico, Nico, chico. I'm crazy if I stop.

J' represent la salsa le soleil de Cuba J'oublie Paris son ciel gris et tout ca Je reve de belles nanas sur la plage de gros Havana M' pavaner sous les palmiers a fumer, je represent ca
I represent the salsa, the sun of Cuba. I forget Paris with its grey sky and all that. I dream of beautiful girls on the beach of big Havana, parading under the palm trees smoking. I represent that.

Mi musica tiene sabor a melao de cana Hey dime si te gusto Hey yo representando a los orishas de mi cuba Mofori bari Olofin hasta la sepultura
My music has the flavor of cane molasses. Hey, tell me if you like it. I represent the Orishas of my Cuba, Moforibale Olofin, even to the grave.

J' represent la salsa, le hip hop Be pre salse ho
I represent salsa and hip hop, be ready to dance.

Cuando quiero estallar yo me voy a mi zona Pa' la habana yo me voy
When I want to explode, I go to my area, and when I want to party, I go to Havana.

J' represent le blanc, le noir Le chica, le chico D'Chicago a Panama De Tokyo a la Havana J' represent la fiesta se lu va de la conga
I represent white, black, girls, and boys, from Chicago to Panama, from Tokyo to Havana. I represent the party with the sound of the conga.

Saca los collares que llego chango Chango Hey bro Elegua Chango, Obatala, Yemanya Ochun, Maferefun oruli Que mi canto suba Pa' la gente de mi cuba Mis ancestros Todos mis muerto Todo eso represento
Take out the necklaces, Chango has arrived. Hey Elegua, Chango, Obatala, Yemanya, Ochun, I bless you. May my singing rise for the people of my Cuba, my ancestors, all my dead. I represent all of that.
