Vuela otra vez
Manuel Monestel
Coro
Vuela otra vez mariposa vuela otra vez
Mira las flores y el viento que están a tus pies
Estrofas
La muchacha se casó con su novio de siempre
Por tres años aprendió a servirle obediente
Como una madre fiel lo esperó noche y día
Mientras el marido aquel su dignidad ofendía
Como un cuadro a la intemperie sus alas decoloradas
Fueron perdiendo el color en muchas noches frustradas
Abre tus alas doradas mariposa de la vida
Que la fé no está perdida vuelve a ser mujer con alas

Merry Woman
Manuel Monestel
Yemayá, Yemayá
Sad man sit down by the port to watch the sea
Sad man weep bit nobody can see
Merry woman is dancing alone in the street
She heart so happy cause she finally so free
Sad Man one day marry merry woman
They live together for a long long time
Merry woman always happy and smile
Sad man with a frown all the time
Merry woman try to make ends meet
Because Sad Man spends all the money
Im take the pay and spend it all in drinks
Merry woman try to make ends meet
Sad man beat the woman like a champion in the ring
Merry woman try to protect the child
Sad man announcing him kill them too
Merry woman shouting like a jaguar in the wild
Merry woman leave the house and all the things
Take the child to go live in the street
Neighbor help Merry Woman organize she life
Now she lives happy she and she child

No tie no donkey
Walter Ferguson
Hear what the old man say “breda you no tie no donkey down there”
If you hear them balling say no tie no donkey down there
Tell you in a positive way “breda you no tie no donkey down there”
If you hear them balling say no tie no donkey down there

Miedo
Manuel Monestel
Miedo a la sonrisa del amor
Miedo a lo nunca antes se vivió
Miedo a la sonrisa del amor
Miedo a lo nunca antes se vivió
Miedo a las diferencias
Miedo a las consecuencias
Miedo al destino
Miedo a lo terrenal
Miedo a lo divino
Miedo a la sonrisa del amor…
Cuando se tiran los dados
Se toma la decisión
Vives la vida y sus consecuencias
O te quedas a esperar en el sillón

Still Turning Around
Manuel Monestel
Bin bon bin down low
The world still turning around
Let us do something soon
So life will not go down and down
Let me declare what I have to say
To whoever wants to attend?
Here I have strong feelings
That burn me soul and me sense
When I see human killing human
By killing nature just fi money
My eyes wide open
Me heart all broken´
To see what I see
My eyes wide open
Me heart all broken´
To see what I see
Kill is the word that rule this world
Power the reason, money the mean
Brotherhood is a forgotten concept
That disappears from dictionary
The whirling planet will stop one day
And human power will pass away
And all that human built in this life
Will disappear in the end

Mama come and take me home
Herberth Glinton “Lenky”
I was walking down the street
I saw a friend he calling me
I was walking down the street
I saw a friend he calling me
When I ask him what he need
said come and let me take a smoke
as I got it to smoke
I feel me head starting to swell.
And I bal it
Coro
Mama, Lord, come and take me home
Mama, Lord, come and take me home
As I start to walk
I feel me head trembling
When I look up in the sky
I saw like the world was coming down
Well I don´t know where to go
I start to swirl and jump like a mad
And you hear me
Coro
If I had listen what mama said
I would not keep bad company
for when you keep bad company
It lead you straight down into hell
and when you reach down into hell
you start to bal and shout like you mad.
and you hear me

La madrugada
Manuel Monestel
Un día se fue y no volvió nunca jamás la madrugada
Entre la sombras descubrió su nueva ruta y se marchó por la calzada
El sol no supo ya que hacer pues no hubo más amanecer
El mundo ya no era igual , no había mañana
Entre tinieblas desperté para encontrar que ya no estabás
La noche inmenso manto azul cubrió mis lágrimas plateadas
Entonces enseguida comprendí que el sol no volvería a salir
Y tristemente vi partir la madrugada, la madrugada…
