Rico Songtext
von Maya Jupiter

Buenos dias good morning let the sun shine through
Even if I had nothing I′d give something to you
I'm not worried bout a thing just what good the day will bring
I got the spirit in me
Little children with no shoes running in the street
Mama working in the kitchen fixing something to eat
All the neighbours out front playing dominoes
Drinking beer in the shade trying to beat the heat

Maybe I don′t have much as the next man
No matter how much money is in my hand
It won't define me I know where I stand
Never could blind me, that's not who I am
Yo tengo mi familia so I got peace
Cuando estamos juntos it brings relief
When the stress of the world tries to pull me down
I turn up the music and dance to the sound


Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza
Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza

Even though I don′t have much
Everything that I have is for us
Money don′t mean nothing to me and my folk
Cos what we have is a whole lot of hope

Mango juice dripping down my hand
Sinking my feet into the white sand
Swimming free in the crystal blue sea
Wondering who's been here before me
Who′s sailed and settled prevailed with mettle
While facing adversity
La fuerza del obrero
I live with their song in me


Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza
Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza
Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza
Rico, no lo soy
Lo poquito que yo tengo
Te lo doy
El dinero no me alcansa
Lo que abunda es la esperanza

From the ground up my people
We rise up all equal
We keep on building on
Hope carries us along
I said from the ground up my people
We rise up all equal
We keep on moving on
Hope carries us along

Along the path of no regrets
If you're down I′ll help you up my friend
We gotta stick together every woman and man
Follow your heart how it all began
It don't matter how much you got you got hands
It ain′t that bad just stay with a plan
You never know just what will become
But with hope in your heart anything can be done
