am from putting a hair pin to our sandals when is broke,
from brugal and Country Club
I am from the aluminum cup
I am from the palm,
the coralillo
I am from kissing hands to my parents
And then ask for blessing,
From Monica
And Frank and Luz.
I am from the curly hair
and curvy body.
From the cuco is coming to get you
and put your shoes on, or you will get sick!!
I am from going to catholic church every Sunday and spend the day without eating.
I’m from the Dominican Republic,
chimi and rice, red bean, and meat.
From the dictator “Trujillo”,
And the Mirabal sisters.
I am from the river, presidente, dulce de coco, and tobacco is made from.
