When Jackie Robinson slapped that uniform onCuando Jackie Robinson se puso ese uniforme

When Jackie Robinson pulled that jersey onCuando Jackie Robinson se puso esa camiseta

His eye was clearSu mirada era clara

His voice rang trueSu voz sonaba verdadera

And the number on his back was 42Y el número en su espalda era 42

Born in GeorgiaNacido en Georgia

Played in the Negro LeaguesJugó en las Ligas Negras

Switched to army greenPasó al verde del ejército

In the big war overseasEn la gran guerra en el extranjero

Then the Big Leagues come a callin’Luego las Grandes Ligas lo llamaron

And the number on his back was 42Y el número en su espalda era 42
