I’d like to stay here
Lose track of time
In all that’s left here
My future won’t arrive
I’d count the minutes till this day
Now that it’s here what’s left to say?
Familiar faces
Pass into shade
A crowded city
Is empty all the same
Swim out to sea and close my eyes
Tell all the memories to hide.
I’d rather split myself in two
Than spend my life away from you
Thoughts aren’t spoken
Words aren’t heard
The space between us
Is so absurd
I’ve tried and failed to recollect
All of the reasons that I left
I’d rather split myself
Than spend my life away from you
I’d rather split myself
How far back do you remember?
How far forward do you dream? - Track Name: Xavier Calderín - Tiago's Song

Te has preguntado alguna vez qué es la vida
O qué diablos es mi vida hoy
Has encerrado tu corazón en un poema
aunque te sepa a mentira.
Has coloreado una canción
Y has creado una illusión
y de una rosa y una estrella
porque eres demasiado bella.
Si vas a ir te vete pero no lo digas más
ya no te lo quiero escuchar
si en verdad lo deseas nada te detendrá
si al fin y al cabo te vas de esta ciudad
y no te veré jamrás
pero cuando quieras sabes que puedes llamar
Si se te ocurre o vuelve que el tiempo se nos va
no me hables del pasado
eso no importa ya
menos del presente
no te lo quiero escuchar.
Solamente promete que me vas a esperar
Que yo te ire a buscar
No preguntes como
eso no importa ya
El tiempo se nos fue
Porque hoy tengo la intención
de amarte hasta que se me apague la mirada
hasta que la luna en esta madrugada no sepa bien qué hacer
si escucharme o echarse a correr
Sabes que no estoy cantando demasiado bien
por eso a lo mejor no me logres entender
pero que importa
pero ya que importa si el tiempo se nos fue
Have you ever asked your self, what is life?
What is this mischievous life?
You locked your heart into a poem
Although it still knows how to lie.
You have colored a song into an illusion of a star
As beautiful as you are.
If you're going to go then go
But don't tell me because I can't listen anymore
If it's what you truly want than nothing can stop you
And if you leave this city behind
You'll never see me again.
But you can always call me.
If our time together ends
Don't speak about the past because it doesn't matter anymore
Only promise that you'll wait for me.
Because I'll come searching for you.
When you run far I'll still be near.
And today I will love you until I can no longer can see.
Until the moon at dawn doesn't know if it should listen to me.
Maybe you don't understand me or my song.
But understand that it matters what I sing.
I can't forget you.
Our time together is gone. - Track Name: The Clik & Doble Filo - Still Waitin'

Sun risin', enterprisin'
Early bird gets the worm
Try to spit hot fire and the city it burns
Thought it was our turn
Time to turn the world on its axis
But the money's pushin' back man how can we crack this?
Try to make a scene and then they cut us back
But we're a whole generation man we will outlast
And you never gonna break us, united we stand
And it's a new day comin' and I'm a patient man.
Still waitin' on the world to change
Still hope it's our time to rearrange the world
Cuz we right here, we right here and we ain't goin' nowhere.
Wild and out the dead the shout the past to present six to seven ten to eleven and back to seven the cycles back and cycles heaven.
The repetition of yesterday's kitchen we're something to mention.
No escape, no escape for the wingless pigeons.
The back days become the next days the ways of the ancestors debts to be paid and so it's never broken the mother's always spoken the 360's livin' hard and the truth is always cloakin'.
Still waitin' on the world to change
Still hope it's my time to rearrange the world
Cuz we right here, we right here and we ain't goin' nowhere.
Esta es mi Habana, ciudad de matices y encantos
Capital de ritmos, lugar donde alzo mi voz y mi lírica de asfalto entona
No soy de la loma pero canto en el llano yo
Como cubano llevo música en la sangre
Así que escúchame y no me cambies
Que para el hambre de tu mente
Mi recipiente trae caliente un léxico tosco
Yo reconozco que
Benny Moré, Matamoros, Los Van Van aquí están
Guardados en el estante de mis gustos
Yo no me asusto, ni me disgusto al decir que son mi esencia
Que su música es la herencia que las costumbres me dejaron
Te hablo claro, dime que hay de malo asere
Para que digas que lo que hago no es cubano
Mi gente sabe
Que soy de aquí que hablo en español que soy cubano aunque no mezcla con el son
Llevo con mis raíces lo real y lo mas tosco, digo soy rapero pero yo reconozco
Que soy de aquí - Track Name: Sage Lewis & Sekoue Romay Díaz - POR AMOR
-
Oye, aunque te sientas lejos, estás en mi corazón
Nuestro amor fue las más bella sensación
que yo senti en mi corazón
pensando siempre en tí
La ilusión de retenerte junto mi
me hacia la muchacha más felíz
que nunca habia vivido un amor así
Yo era un foráneo más en la ciudad
buscando aventuras y un sueño que me hiciera vibrar
y apareciste tú en la inmensidad
marcandome el camino cerrando mi destino
Por amor, estoy buscandote en el pasado
porque yo sigo enamorado
me siento desesperado no puedo seguir así.
El dolor, de no tenerte aqui mi lado me tiene desilucionado
Yo quiesiera estar junto a ti sin ti no puedo vivir
Dios porque te la llevaste y solo me dejaste porque me abandonaste aqui
Dame una razon para explicarle al corazon
que no esta junto a mi que debo de vivir con el recuerdo eterno hasta morir
Yo era un foráneo más en la ciudad
buscando aventuras y un sueño que me hiciera vibrar
y apareciste tú en la inmensidad
marcandome el camino cerrando mi destino
Por amor, estoy buscandote en el pasado
porque yo sigo enamorado
me siento desesperado no puedo seguir así.
El dolor, de no tenerte aqui mi lado me tiene desilucionado
Yo quiesiera estar junto a ti sin ti no puedo vivir
Este amor será para siempre, para toda la vida
Por amor, te busco en el pasado porque yo sigo enamorado
Yo no puedo encontrarte si no estás aquí junto a mí
Si tu te empeñas en alejarte y yo me empeño en acercarme
Yo no puedo encontrarte - Track Name: "far away"

If I could go anywhere in the world,
I would visit a place with music.
A place where there is a lot to learn,
water slides, go-karts, and a big wishing fountain.
Warm breeze, calm waves, with no light so I could see the stars.
Happy people, warm beaches, this is the island of my dreams.
Me gustaría conocer un campo donde abunden unicornios
con caparazón de tortuga.
Allí las nubes serán de algodón acaramelado.
Donde el chocolate y la vainilla sobren para comer todo lo que quieran y brindar a los de más.
Nunca haya noches y que no exista el dolor.
Tambien hadas habrá y al volar dejaran polvos.
My favorite part about the US is that it has all kinds of people from all kinds of places.
Anyone can become a star.
I love this country because of it’s freedom.
People take for granted our freedom of speech.
Lo que más me gusta de Cuba es su soberanía.
Soberanía
De mi país lo que más me gusta a pesar de las dificultades sabemos luchar trabajamos incansablemente, nos ayudamos entre todos y nunca nos damos por vencidos.
I love how there’s sunny weather in California.
I love baseball, it’s our national pastime.
Me gustaría que Cuba mejorara que el bloqueo fuera eliminado enfermos se mejoren.
Para mi Cuba es maravilloso así como es.
One thing that I would change about my country
is its outlook on the arts and music.
America should invest more in art,
stop with war, help people instead.
My country should be more understanding.
The US uses its power to aggressively dominate
and force other governments into changing.
This is a horrible last resort that should never be taken.
Gentle insistence with strong support
is the way to a better world.
More unity, less judging in the media, more privacy, healthy food, no racism, more kid friendly!
I like to see people taking better care of nature!
I hate darkness. I fear rejection, dying, tsunamis!
I am most afraid of my dreams not coming true, becoming a nobody, losing my family, being alone in the dark with spiders!
I am most afraid of war!
I don’t like opening my eyes in the shower!
I think something may be staring at me!
Yo le temo al bloqueo a que exista la violencia.
¡Yo a lo que tengo miedo es a dejar la escuela y que mis padres se separan, también que empeore el bloqueo que haya guerra en mi ciudad y que el mundo se acabe!
¡Lo que más le temo en la vida es a perder a mi familia a perder a mi país, a que los niños y las niñas por el bloqueo no puedan recibir sus medicinas, a perder a mis amigas y amigos ya que la escuela de música cierre y que yo no pueda estudiar lo qe me gusta!
I am most afraid of spiders because their furry legs
and eight eyes glancing at me creep me out!
I am most afraid of living forever!
Seeing the people that I love dying before my eyes and not being able to join them or stop them would be terrifying to me!
Someone that I love being gone forever!
Mis amigos son tal como me los imagine: expresivos, gran soñadores, compasivos. En el fondo tienen un buen corazon.
A friend is honorary family. You share your deepest thoughts, participate in each other’s emotions and care for them like nothing else mattered. Like always supporting somebody to share your knowledge and ideas without fear of cruel criticism.
Tengo una amiga que es cariñosa y en el fondo tiene un buen corazón. En los momentos buenos y malos siempre está conmigo consolandome en los momentos de llanta. Puedo compartir mis secretos. Ella me ayuda y siempre está a mi lado cuando necesito.
Ayudara en las cosas buenas y malas. Mis amigos son gran soñadores, compasivos y con ellos pudeo compartir mis secretos.
I have a best friend. He and I don’t always like the same thing.
He’s a friend because he always stands up for me when I’m in trouble.
Every time we say goodbye it feels like we are leaving forever.
It could almost be a romance but it’s not.
Si lo tuviera una amiga quisiera que fuera sincera, amable, fiel que me ayudara en las cosas buenas y malas.
Mis amigos son gran soñadores, compasivos y con ellos puedo compartir mis secretos.
Now I never take friendship for granted.
Friendships in this world are almost more important than almost anything.
Quiero que…
Quiero que eliminen el bloqueo. Somos hermanos tenemos el mismo derecho.
