Ruben Blades - West Indian Man lyrics

Came from the sea, to panamá, To work in the jungle and build the can*l 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 pa**ed 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, etc...
