ES COMO UN CAMIÓN DE MUCHOS COLORES
LOS CUERPOS CAMINAN BIEN
AL RITMO DE AURORA NUEVA
LAS TUMBAS EN TIERRA
LA TIERRA RETUMBA
LATINOAMERICA TE ESPERA
HAITÍ CHERÍ
P TI DEGUI D HAITI D HAITI
LA PUERTA DE ÁFRICA VAS A DAR
P TI DEGUI D HAITÍ
TU HISTORIA COMIENZA BIEN
PUES FUISTE EL PRIMER AQUEL
QUE ROMPIÓ CADENAS
QUE ROMPIÓ CADENAS
NOS SEPARAN LAS BARRERAS QUE NOS IMPUSIERON
PERO ESO NO MÁS QUE ACERCAR LOS CAMINOS
NOS UNE LA FUERZA DE LA TRAYECTORIA
LATINO AMERICA TE ESPERA
