about

Conga Libre written by Gabriel Guzmán. Published 2012 Chido Records (ASCAP).

lyrics

Yo no soy de aquí
Y no soy de allá
Yo soy de la tierra
Donde quiero estar.

Tengo tres amores
Que empiezan con té
Teresa, Tomása
Y María Teté.

Es la conga libre
La que canto aquí
Para mis amigos
Para ti, pa' mi.

Es la conga libre
Que barbaridad!
Mueran los tiranos
Viva la libertad!

No tengo color
Ni tampoco edad
No tengo cadenas
Para la amistad.

Quiero ser el viento
Quiero ser el mar
Quiero ser jilguero
Para así cantar.

Lo dijo Zapata
Y esa es la verdad
Para los campesinos
Tierra y libertad!

La conga ya vino
La conga se va
Pero no la olviden
Pronto volverá.
