Rueda La Corona Lyrics in English La Raíz

“Rueda la Corona” turns a chess match into a rebellious anthem. Every piece on the board represents a social class: the mighty king, the swift knight, the silent bishop, and, most importantly, the underestimated pawn. La Raíz invites us to flip the board, set the castle on fire, and watch the crown roll across the squares. The song is playful and dramatic at the same time, turning each chess move into a call for courage, imagination, and collective action.

Behind the clattering pieces lies a sharp political message. Ordinary people—the pawns—refuse to march obediently while elites laugh from the back row. They demand equality, female participation (“hoy también juegan las damas”), and a future where no one is born to rule. The chorus keeps pounding: each captured piece is “un pasito menos” toward freedom. In the end, the board is no longer a battlefield of black versus white. It becomes a vivid scene of reds, blues, and rising flames, where the crown finally tumbles and hope walks tall among the people.
