"Un Humilde Piedra" which means An Humble Stone is the title of the TUMBA song composed and sung by Amos Balentien. 

A famed talented singer from Kura Piedra - Curaçao, that currently resides in Rotterdam - Netherlands. He is one of the lead-singers of the record-breaking Dutch Caribbean band "Cache Royale". 

He participated already 4 times in the biggest national competition of TUMBA, and scored last time as second place with "Lei ta Lei". Since then we knew he has all the capacities to serve as a future TUMBA KING. And maybe 2012 will be his year, with a special composition he wrote around 4 years ago and waiting for the right moment to polish and bring it to our nation.    

Currently, the Tumba Festival is a four-day musical event where the best local composers, singers, and bands compete to have their piece selected as the year's official Carnival road march Tumba song. This isn't just any festival. It's a musical extravaganza! And winning means gaining prestige sought by the world's most talented musicians. The winner becomes Rei di Tumba (King of Tumba) or Reina di Tumba (Tumba Queen).

Koro:

Mi por ta un djamanta i abo un rubi pa nos ta eksitoso Kòrsou mester ta uni.

Ma subi un seru haltu pa buska inspirashon.
Aya te den laira mas serka papa Dios.
Pa mi wak mi isla fo'i otro bista. 
Y ma saka afó ta ki naturalesa ke siña nos.

Si ami kubo uni nos lo forma un baranka.
Lo no por tin nada ku por kibra nos.
Un mensahe di konfiansa pa nos no pèrdè speransa.
Un pueblo uni lo sa di vense tur maldat.
Si ami kubo uni. 
Ku union nos lo hasi forsa.
Dolo'i kabes nan di mi tera mi tin tur nami kurason.
I abo pasado, bo'n pèrsigui nos mas.
Di awe pa dilanti Di awe pa dilanti, dilanti nos ta bai.

Mensahe di un humilde pieda.
Ai rib'é seru ma mira kon bunita mi tera ta.
A kue mi wowo kon kada pieda ta bria su so.
Tin djamanta, rubi, esmeralda den un direkshon ku no ta kuadra.
Mi kurason a hasi doló, konta ke union?

Mester di hende pa pega pieda pa forma unio. He,ééé........ 
Mester di pieda pa pega pieda pa bira e kos.

Mester di pieda. 7x

Prens ku pancho a presentá. 
Huntu ku reina pa duna un man.
Esta orguyoso mi ta di nan. 
Ken mas ke duna un man? Amiiiiiii......

Nos no ta pieda morto, nos ta pieda nan balioso. 
Ban legumai orguyo, paso nos mester di otro.
Pega riba otro (koro kortiku).
Stima otro
Ban yuda otro
Ban kuida otro
Esaki te fiesta di Karnaval 
Ku ta saka tur hende for di kas
Esta un bon momento
Pa pega e pieda prinsipal
E pieda di amor 
Sin dje nada no tin balor Bin aden, bin aden(koro kick).
Grandi i chikitu
Di aki o di afó
Sin distinkshon di kolo
Nos tur ta Kòrsou Bin aden.
Pega riba otro.
Pieda nan maligno.
Hisa nan benta afó
Ban pega riba otro
Manera koncha riba baranka
Bin aden, bin aden (koro kick).




Pega riba otro.
Grandi i chikitu
Djaki o djafó
Sin distinshon di kolo
Nos tur ta Kòrsou

Wak riba e korona.
Pieda bunita ta dòrn'é.
Tira un bista riba e fòrti.
Baranka ta defendé
Pregon liber.
