The cumbia of who changes
Click to see the original lyrics (Italian)
If there's someone who wants to dance
come forward, come forward
if there's someone who wants to dance
come forward, come forward
officials of the Italian state
will often take you by the hand
it starts well and ends badly
it often happens that you find that they rob you
and do things that are only good for them
of benefit of exaggerated usefulness
thus they abandon every form of decorum
and go about like the unpunished
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
I've never been a mugwump
those who say that it's all the same to them
that is not my way of thinking
but I admit that at certain times I have thought
officials of the Italian state
often appear like figures in a window
under the light they look good and inviting
when you unwrap them you realize they are sham
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
this is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
They say all peoples follow after
the ruling class in all senses
but it's only a way of generalizing
of passing the buck
since history is full of the contrary
of good people who have inspired others
and it is just when everyone believes one thing
that a different version finds its way in
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
this is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
I don't believe that all Italians
would bury asbestos in the fields
besmirch the names of their adversaries
just so as not to have them in front of them
and bribe the arbiters
but while these arbiters would be bought
and tell lies of woe
there is where a man becomes a criminal
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
this is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
I incline myself towards the values of resistance
every country has its revolution
but among the values that are becoming weaker
of the most concern is that of innovation
Italy is an exclamation mark that extends
from central Europe to North Africa
we are the country that founded a new world
a great bridge between the future and amarcord
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
this is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
If there is someone who chances all
come forward, come forward
if there is someone who wants change
come forward, come forward
I can affirm that I am not an idealist
and politics hardly turn me on
but at times I think that we would be better off
if we expected something better
we are becoming unemotional people
we are becoming a nation of compulsives
thus are we becoming and always have been
I ask myself if perhaps we have become resigned
I myself do not combine the elements
to be able to believe that as a whole
each one of us individually does not make change
and there is no lightning without thunder
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
If there is someone who would chance all
come forward, come forward
If there is someone who wants change
come forward, come forward
This is the cumbia
the cumbia of who changes
the cumbia of who changes
I incline myself towards the values of resistance
every country has its revolution
If there's someone who wants to dance
come forward, come forward

Cumbia is a Colombian music genre popular throughout Hispanic America.
Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the African population, which was later mixed with European instruments and musical characteristics.
