West indian man
Ruben blades
Came from the sea, to panamá
To work in the jungle and build the canal
He got paid in silver, the white man in gold, and the yellow fever took everyone's soul
To work in the jungle and build the canal
He got paid in silver, the white man in gold, and the yellow fever took everyone's soul
Grandaddy was a west indian man
Y vivió y murió en panamá
West indian man, iwant to recognize
Your iron will, your sacrifice
You gave your life to build a path
So oceans could meet inside the heart of panamá
Grandaddy was a west indian man
Y vivió y murió en panamá
Time has passed but discrimination endure
We must work together to find its cure
West indian man, he came from the caribbean and found a home and a new start in panamá
Grandaddy was a west indian man
Y vivió y murió en panamá
That is where ghe blades come from
From st. Lucy, he came down
