Marcus Garvey´s Old Song

I was in Limón when Garvey sang his freedom song
I was in Limón when English school preserve our tongue
I was in Limon when pocomía was the African spirit of a singing soul
I was in Limon when people struggle for a better world

Sing sing sing the old freedom song
Sing sing sing your heart and your soul
Sing sing sing for a better Limón
Sing sing sing Marcus Garvey´s old song

I was in Limón when dock workers fight and raise their fist
I was in Limón when calypso music was there to resist
I was in Limón when Cyril was singing a carnival song
I was in Limón when Mr. King bring joy to this town

I was in Limón when Papa Tun fill the street with a smile in his face
I was in Limón when the twins made a town dance and shake
I was in Limón when miss Hortensia teach the youth dance cuadrille
I was in Limón when Lenkí song made the whole town sing
