No Bittersweet
Such a gentleman
He’s no bittersweet
Sad you passed me by?
He bound love you dream you could un-wind
I love to be so close to him
Away from shady child’s play
I have a lovely hand of his
Far far from you and hustler play
I had to go & win all the games you play
Yes I have to brag
He’s the pick on top, you’re on the sideline
_____
In the past I’ve played your games
Wiped the competition lame
All the while my grass grows green
While you trek the same routine
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Visceral Taboo
With no finish line in sight
The key’s in the ignition
There’s no route to entertain
Cause she’s standing in the way
His extended stare revives
My fixation with his eyes
His freckled disposition
Her fleeing caberet
A Visceral Taboo. A love long overdue. Why do I run from you, my
inerratic muse?
His contagious smile defies
My lonely condition
His platonic touch ails my
Candid disarray
If he’d only take my love
Draping him from up above
My spilling adoration
Our tired triple play

Somos Una Gente
Costa Rica| Venezuela| Eduador| Chile | Portugal| Panamá| Uruguay| México|
“Baila, Baila desarollate”
Me canta tu canción
Dale, dale como la miel
Latinoamerica
Nos corre en la misma sangre
Este ritmo unido
Somos una gente
Sí, Me mueve con la miel
Se baila de la piel
Me canta de la tierra
Me mueve con la miel
Los Estados Unidos| Belize| Bolivia| El Salvador| España| La República Dominicana| Cuba| Honduras
Somos una gente…

Somos una Gente…

Under The Trees
Honey, I wait for you
Sit hear and dream of you
As you draw me from those eyes
You free me
You made the branches oscillate
You then approached against the wind
Lively inverted, you’re a child
A vivid cry, yet so mild
The twilight came
You’re never vague
Your words so fine
You freed my spine
From the wooded vine
Of the scarlet tainted wine
_______
You free me
_______
The midnight blue-black hue
Yearning a break
Before the sun
Wrapping my hands
Around your face
My hideaway
The gravity that brings the day
You came in view
I never knew
Your words so fine
You freed my spine
From the wooded vine
Of the scarlet tainted wine
______
You free me
______
Don’t be scared of me
Let’s take a nap under the trees
Now don’t be scared of me
We’ll blow a kiss right through the leaves

Lovely Fool
I’m sick of debating
The right brain to the left
No leverage to my bet
A lovely fool for you
I wait on you
The worthwhile comes slowly
As I’m put to the test
You slit me like the rest
I’m bleeding blue
Your fingers pick me out
My quivering nylon
Exposed from inside out
My lonely song for you
I wait on you
Me estoy ahogando
I’m suffocating
La victima de esta confución
A victim of this confusion
Me juegas cuando no sabes lo que quieres
You play me as you don’t know what you want
Me enfado del columpio
I’m sick of the swinging
El columpio de que me agarro desesperadamente
The swing I cling to in desperation
Que aquí te espero
And I wait for you here
Una bella mensa
A lovely fool
Y ni lo notas
And you don’t notice
Ni me avisas que tu amor
And you don’t even advise me that your love
Se ha desaparecido
Has disappeared
Hace mucho tiempo
Since a long time ago
For you. I wait on you…
The worthwhile comes slowly
As I’m put to the test
You slit me like the rest
I’m bleeding blue
Your fingers pick me out
My quivering nylon
Exposed from inside out
My lonely song for you
I wait on you. For you…

Bossa Cries
I think of you when my Bossa Cries
As it lays deep into your black eyes
Let your waters wash
Down the stream
The seas have waiting ages
Patiently
I think of you when my bossa cries
He cries…
Your face appears when my bossa tears
Sopping memoirs lost between my ears
The auditory seam
Sown in me
Craves you free my unsung melodies
I think of you when my bossa
Cries, he cries…

Apuñalado
Tu rio no calma
Your rivers won’t settle
Sigues bien protejado
You remain so defended
Contigo no hay fácil
With you nothing is easy
Ella te ha apuñalado
She cut at (stabbed) you
Yo no te ha apuñalado
I have not cut at you
Pero yo no soy ella, amor
I’m not her, my love
…no soy ella
…I’m not her
Siempre en la mañana
Every Morning
Tu cara me abruma
I’m overwhelmed by the memory of your face
Trago pensamientos
Guzzling the memories
Con un vino rojo
With a red wine
Lamo todo el nectar
Lapping all it’s nectar
Como una adicta
Like an addict
Conmigo no hay daño
With me, there will be no eradication
Ella te ha apuñalado
She cut at you
Yo no te ha apuñalado
I have not cut at you
Pero yo no soy ella, amor
I’m not her, my love
…no soy ella
…I’m not her
Don’t be too scared to let me
Love you like you need…

Side by Side
I tell you, I’ve been overwhelmed
Since the day I saw your face
You’ve made a childhood fairytale
Wrap the truth around with lace
But when I sleep in your arms
Life’s a memory, it’s only us
In a dream, wondering
Side by side
Though we’ve had
Our ups and downs
I’m at your fault, you’re at mine
The sunny days still dry the tears
And warm your face for me to kiss, just to kiss
But when I sleep
In your arms
Life’s a memory, it’s only us
In a dream, wondering,
Side by side
