I heard the horns off in the distance
accompanied by other sounds
I heard the applause of the people
people came from miles around
I arrived for the celebration
with my pretty woman
on my arm
we took our seats and were seated
while the band prepared for
the next song
ooh the sounds were so soothing
an intentional groovey piece
a ballad for lovers
Grab my Gals hand and sat real pleased
we cooed without conversation
while the orchestra played the tune
the crooner started singing
felt like our honeymoon
love aint so complicated
it demands some respect
Tengo Hambre
cuando las trometas
empezaron a soner
dije coneces estra cancion?
Solo tarea al ritmo
no puedes equivucarte
it take so planning
even when you can't connect
When the trumpets start to play
Baby let's sing our song
let dance to the rhythmn
kiss and smile like
nothings wrong

Mis ojos apagan entre renglones de descanso
Punto, coma, punto seguido
parentesis
Te extraño
Cierro parentesis
Quiero besarte
Aun recuerdo como entre instantes fuimos eternos
Nuestros besos achicados eran puntos
suspensivos,
de un corazon a guiones
Fuimos dialogo entre un escenario embestido
Te recite poesia a miradas y coqueta miraste
Mia, me miraste
Tuya, te mire
Nos miramos
Recuerdo tacto correteado a miedos queriendo,
arrancar
Despojame de estas penas
Burguesas y yo tan pobre te ofrezco sonrisas de oro
tal vez
amarillentos por cafe
Adormecidos ojos moca
Estan dormidos
que nadie se atreva a despertarlos
Otoño ausente, verano infante
Comienzo escribiendote
No hay un punto interprete
Rebelion profana,
vuelveme cancion
Para cantarle cada que de ella y yo
Adormecido corazon
Yo por ti,
estoy
Adormecido

A joy
An adventure
You asked of me
But ima hit you with that
Uno
Reverse
You're a gem
Dedicated to yourself
And
What you want from the world
So what can i hope
To offer
That one before me hasnt already?
Algo
Tan simple que tal
Vez
Ya no
Exista en esta vida
La promesa
La promesa de adorarte
Dia y noche
De dedicarte
La noche
La luna
Las estellas
De tocar
Con tu cuerpo
Una cancion unica
Y inolvidable
But
I'll earn you
Like any man should
When im in the pool swimming
I'm swimming to you
When I'm in control
I'm trying to reach you
To fight for you
To give you the night
The day
My present
Ny future
My all
To complete the
Promise
You deserve...

amor prohibido
elles estaben escribiendo
cartas de amor
amar sin ser amado
es amor no correspondido
no es una cancion
que trate de amor
cuando te vi bajar
la escalera
a primera viste
el amor es ciego

Las Boricuas Latinas bailan
Dance your Salsa
Dance your Merenque
Dance your history
Of conquest and survival
Las Boricuas Latinas bailan
Debajo de las Palmas
En sue colored brillantes
Against the clear white sand
In broad flowing skirts
Filled with freedom and life
Singing loud, Musica de mi
Proud people
Lifting up the sorrow soul
From depths of despair
Let the Congas rap and the
Trumpets scream;
Timbales, get out of control
Ivory keys chime along
Cantan una cancion Latina
De la Isla del Encanto
Cantamos con el Coqui'
My people, humble people,
Happy people, make your
Sound loud!
Bailan Oh! Chicas
No dejan de bailar
Cantan las historias de
Mi jente - no callan mas!

a twinkle in the eye
a sweet song filled with grace
the sweet music of a lullaby
key notes of an a minor, sharp c, high and low f
a beautiful night
beside the wam and inviting firelight
strumming of a muse
whatever you choose
soft classical music
calm, soothing piano
like the pitter patter of light rain
you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain
for great relaxation you dont have to go far
listen to the songs of a guitar
