Melted life under the hot lava,
left by the explosive volcano.
Awaken Christmas night
under the sparks ashes
crossing the sky to our mind.
We had the lights flashing
with no celebration.
Our little island was smaller
but bigger at the same time.
Many left, but the most embraced destiny.
Banana trees are spreading
the green colour over the grey.
La palma, as the phoenix,
is a newborn wish come true.
new baby was born
on the feet of a new hill

I took a walk on a summer day
Just wanting to get away
To where I spent my childhood years
Looked around and shed some tears
Dutch Hill Park was no longer there
There was no laughter in the air
I started walking among those trees
But All I’ve got are the memories
Then I walked down Glenwood Avenue
To the baseball field for a short view
Then it was time to head downtown
And spend the day just hanging around
Newberry’s, Scheid’s, the National Store
And the five and dime were there no more
Thought about the Texas Lunch and the S & A,
Palma, Nap and the music we’d play
Damn I thought how the years went so fast
Found myself living in the past
Days seems so much better than these
Now all I’ve got are the memories
The Coffee Cup and the Bowl O Drome
Just a few blocks from Saint Jerome
The Iron Steps to Washington Street
Five Point Diner where we use to meet
Painting store fronts for Halloween
Stop at Nick’s and play the pinball machine
Getting late time to head back home
Drove past the place we use to roam
Wound the window down to feel the evening breeze
Now all I’ve got are the memories

Mulher, mulher, oh doce mulher
Meu amor, meu berço, meu começo
No meu pequeno diário
Todo dia é um dia feliz
Você é minha alma, meu pilar
Eu aprecio você todos os dias
E eu te amo muito, muito meu amor.
Mulher, meu amor, minha beleza
Você me surpreende o dia todo
Você ocupa o centro da minha vida
Você é minha princesa, minha amiga
Você é minha rainha, minha inveja
Mulher, mulher, oh doce mulher
Meu oxigênio, minha bela dama.
Mulher, coração da minha alma
A estrela do meu céu e da minha vida
Você é a boneca original, a bela mulher
Você é quem se move, quem empurra e quem rema
Uau! você é uma mulher bem feita
Mulher, doce mulher, oh mulher terna
Você é o sol que ilumina minha palma.
Mulher para mim, você é fundamental
Minha anjinha, minha virgem, você é muito especial
A vida não tem sentido sem você, sem seu sorriso
Você é meu farol, meu amor, minha esperança
Você é meu coração, meu sonho, minha alma
Mulher, mulher, oh mulher misteriosa!

Mujer, mujer, oh dulce mujer
Mi amor, mi cuna, mi comienzo
En mi cuaderno diario
Cada día es tu día
Tú eres mi alma, mi pilar
Te aprecio todos los días
Y te amo mucho, mucho mi amor.
Mujer, mi amor, mi belleza
Tú me sorprendes todo el día
Tú ocupas el centro de mi vida
Tú eres mi princesa, mi amiga
Tú eres mi reina, mi envidia
Mujer, mujer, oh dulce mujer
Mi oxígeno, mi bella dama.
Mujer, corazón de mi alma
La estrella de mi cielo y de mi vida
Tú eres la muñeca original, la mujer hermosa
Tú eres ella que se mueve, que empuja y que rema
¡Guau! Tú eres una mujer bien realizada
Mujer, dulce mujer, oh tierna mujer
Tú eres el sol que ilumina mi palma.
Mujer para mi, tú eres fundamental
Mi angelita, mi santa, tú eres muy especial
La vida no tiene sentido sin ti, sin tu sonrisa
Tú eres mi faro, mi amor, mi esperanza
Tú eres mi corazón, mi sueño, mi alma
¡Mujer, mujer, oh mujer misteriosa!

Palma
Na vida
ou nos negócios
a pessoa que faz
o que quer que seja
melhor e mais rápido
e
com mais quantidade
tem seu futuro
e sua
fortuna
na palma das mãos.

Palma Christe Uses
Food additive and flavoring agent no wonder we get sick now
Mold inhibitor agree with this one mold could not survive in its presence
Ingredients in skin care products like lipstick_don't lick those lips so much
Part of the seed contains a potent toxin called ricin which is deadly poison
An infection lingered after doctor's visit
Momma said castor oil the solution
Grape flavored slime
Gag, gag, nausea
Vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit
Cough, cough, cough
Diarrhea all night
Now two illnesses, upset stomach and snotty nose
Thank God no longer used as a medical treatment
How could anyone give poison to a person anyway

Slice that ripe green Avocado
Love it with my rice and beans
Oh it looks so ripe and yellow
Slice it like a tangerine
Let's make love under La Palma
Lay out our blanket on the clean
Luquillo sand - allow the Puerto Rican
Sun to bath us with its warm Latino hands
Soothe our bodies, comfort our Souls
Heat our blood as we become one under
La Palma and Puerto Rican Sun
