THE OAK

Too many geraniums*, dried off
No water, no sunlight, the soil got tough
Geraniums that I planted, but I never fed
That’s the only reasons, why they are now dead
Thinking, analyzing, searching, digging
Deep, deep, deep in my soul
Trying to understand why I lost them all
Digging and finding out the proof
That infidelity and disrespect, only rotten soil produces
Geraniums were supposed to be perennial
But, by winter all their leafs were gone

Digging deep in my soil
Preparing it for the right seeds
Hoping to plant, hoping to see fruits
Putting vitamins in my soul
A process of darkness, as I dig deep into soil
A state of sadness and of what a stupid boy!!!
Losing geraniums that were easy to feed
Forgot about them; No flowers, no fruits

Light started to shine, time to cultivate
Years had past by, but never is to late
Roots growing firm, long and strong
So long and deep, doesn’t fit in a pot
Rooting firm, deep, without fears
Geraniums lasted just a few years
Forever is an oak
Growing branches, growing fruits, growing strong
Deep, deep, deep into my soul
Removal of weed was necessary
To see a good result
Killing selfishness, jealousy, and what I used to be
From the flirt, to the betrayer, without forgetting the O.P.P.
Trust is the only soil, which can bring flowers and fruit
Love is the only element that can be water substitute
Deep, deep, deep, down into my soul
Getting nutrients from the soil and strength from the sun
No even a small axe, sharp and ready would cut an oak down

*Old African tradition explains the reflection of a relationship through the life of a Geranium. When you marry you need to plant the seeds and feed it everyday.

CUANDO ME DIJISTE

Un nuevo despertar del pasado
Un nuevo amanecer, pero esta vez soleado
Algo muy extraño, pues siempre esta nublado
Intentar entender porque?
Llegar a la conclusión que nunca lo sabré
Amanecer de recuerdos de antaño
Preguntas brotando de mi mente
Porque nos hicimos tanto daño
Si nos quisimos entonces y nos queremos actualmente
De nuevo pensar en geranios que se secaron
Porque no hicieron flor?, porque no se regaron?
Preguntas sin respuestas, que golpean en mi mente
Pensamientos del pasado, que reviven derrepente
Y es que cuando me dijiste…
un viejo cantar, pero sonó tan nuevo
Ilusionarme con que al tiempo se le puede hacer un agujero
Y regresar y replantar todo aquello que arranqué
Volver y regar aquel geranio que nunca regué.
Sabor a Gracia, sabor a ti, sabor a mi
Dos palabras insignificantes, por las que en el pasado morí
Dos palabras y esos labios que las pronuncian
Dos palabras y una sola razón, por la que viví
Dos palabras que mi corazon y mi alma oir deseavan
Cambiaste mi vida y mi mundo entero
Cuando después de tantos años
me clavaste directamente en el corazon sin motivo un TE QUIERO

SANKOFA

The essence of human is memory
An essential element for it is history
That’s why poppies’ day every year
And Black history month, to keep your mouth shut. Clever!!!

History is not Black or White
History has always affected either side
Black history, is human history indeed
Africa is the start line for everything
From the civilization, to the religions, to the human beings
Homo sapiens evolve 200.000 years ago from Africa’s core
As their less intelligent ancestors done it before
Populating East Africa*, Asia and Europe as you know
Modern humans started to invade the world
If you said that no one will say you're wrong
Excluding these few, that wants to keep their position strong


You should know, it belongs to you
From the goddess Isis*, to the university in Timbuktu*
From intelligence behind the pyramids, to the first religion
Science, chemistry and astronomy, were African ignition
I know that you now wander, why are we on this position?
We never were hanging on the tree
Civilization was formed long before slavery
Brick houses were standing layer by layer
From the west coast to the
Mwene Mutapa* empire
When they started to arrive, their jaws will drop to the floor
They could not stopped to admire, we were the world’s door
Long before Romans and Greeks
AFRICANS, we are the real intelligence antics

Owning the most precious thing in the world
The knowledge, the intelligence and unfortunately the gold
Gold and greediness betrayed us all

Sankofa, is essential for our youth
Sankofa, is essential for you
We should know were we come from, our past
We should know the real history at last
If we don’t know our past
Our present is curse
And our future would be fragile as glass

WHAT IS THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING?

What is the meaning of life, if you don’t have land?
A place on earth, that your roots you can plant
What is it like, to live in other peoples home?
Owning nothing but your sorrows; get your land prompt!!!
Home sweet home, for those who know what it tastes like
A land to call home, the beginning of all fights

What would happen if we all do the same?
If we look back, and all our land we claim
The proof is not only in holy books, not in the archive
The proof is the monuments in my land, I’m not longer naïve

What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the force of one man fighting?
The answer you have it in Jerusalem
In India and in South Africa as well
The sound can be as loud as a storm
We only needed one man to change the world
What is the sound of a nation in exile?
Without history, without land; forgot about the Nile?
A nation without nation, spread to mortify
A nation without conscience, is time to unify
Bring everyone under the same umbrella, all the same song chanting
Then I will answer, what is the sound of millions of hands clapping?
All of them unified and at once
Coming back home with everything in their hands
Everything that belongs to them, from the gold
To the knowledge of the universe and the world
Coming back home, returning through the same door
The door that saw us leaving by force, shackled
Will see our return and chuckle

What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the work of one man farming?
What is the fruit of all of us fighting?
What is the meaning of us returning?

Come back, and call it home sweet home
Will never be peace in a land that was stole
We always will be persecute, unfortunately we will
Bring your hopes, and land will provide, that’s the deal
Revolution needs your arms and your blood to drop
Evolution only needs your hands and your mind to work

What is the sound if you clap with one hand?
I don’t know; honest
What is the meaning of life without land?
Sorrow, misery and sadness; I promised

ÀNGELS (II)


Sapigue, que esteu aquí
Sentir la vostre força tan forta com ahir
Pensar que seria de mi?
Sense el vostre recolze, no n'hi hauria visqui
I mai importa el moment o l'hora
Sempre meu ajudat quan ho necessitava
Una espatlla en la que plora
Un puny mes a l'hora de baralla
Diferents expressions, d'una mateixa afecció
Àngels que m'hem voltant
Aquesta es la meva vendició
I avegades riem sense parar
I de-vegades no parem de plorar
Pugem escales que mai pensàvem podriem pujar
I des de dalt ens adonem, que l'esforç no ha sigut envà
Las teves ales amb van enlaira, quan en el terra estava
Les teves espatlles en van portar, quant las forces hem fallaven
Envoltat de vosaltres, no n'hi ha res que no pugui aconseguir
Amb la vostre força, en la meva vida no n'hi haurà mes peti
Àngels que ma envoltant, m'ajudaran ha estar on estic
Beneït per la vostra presencia, no hi ha res com un bon amic

FALSE BABYLON

Working for years, getting tears and peanuts
Dreams of a nation, drowning by international politics
Engineers, architects and Scientifics
All the talented on the same boat
A boat empty of despair
Full of hopes, dreams and fresh air
Sailing towards the dreams’ home
Thousands trying to reach the Promised Land
Hoping to finally reach Babylon
Not knowing that here, dreams are like sand
You hold tied, but they slip through your hands
Most talented of my people, in unskilled jobs I see
Wake up you all, wake up, this is a wake up call
You’re over qualified, but you’re cleaners and B.B.C.*
Your life is being wasted here. We need you all, back home
Caring for those who killed our past
Chants of freedom diluted never last
Emptying mum from strongs and cleavers
Another way to enslave us
Waiting for your arrival, get ready to be alone
Your dreams will fade and crash against the wall
Thick and dark of this false Babylon

A PESAR DE LOS PESARES


Soñar con ser enanos, y nunca despertar
Soñar en cuando nos enamoramos, y prometimos eternidad
Sentado, analizando los años
Dolores, asesinatos y daños
Buscando explicaciones del porque?
Entender nada, saber menos cada vez
Y cuando mas aprendo, mas quiero desaprender
Porque cuanto mas see, mas me cuesta entender

Amores de infancia, que rasgan nuestras vidas
Amores infatiles, que dejan abiertas las heridas
Y sigo gritando nunca volvere
Sabiendo que sino grito no me lo creere

Migas de pan que dejamos en el camino
Asi, aunque pasen los años, nunca estare perdido
Y podre volver a tus faldas y susurrar en tu oido
Hilos interminables que trazan el camino hacia ti
Tantos años han pasado y aun formas parte de mi

Amores que no mueren, matan a quemarrope
Amores que se resisten, y no quieren aceptar derrota
Sobrebiviendo eventos, y el pesar de los años
Sobreviviendo erupciones, emendando los daños
Soñar con ser un niño, y no crecer jamas
Soñar, contigo y conmigo y la union de nuestras almas

Tarde es el camino que ahora hemos de andar
Mañana es el destino que yo no quiero afrontar
Visitar cada mañana mis recuerdos
Intentando olvidar
Y es que a pesar de los pesares
Cuando se ama de verdad, nunca se deja de amar

Champagne love



Ma brother, what's it with us?
We tend to appreciate love when is lost
We take for granted all the things they do
We simplify the meaning of I LUV U
And we fall, again and again and again
In champagne love, knowing is always the same
Pop the cork, and enjoy few sips
Bubbles go off and that’s the end of it
Champagne love, only brings headache
Whiles the good wine, for years seats
No comparison, wine and champagne
Exquisite is one, whiles the other blows your brain
You know what I’m talking about
Champagne love, destroys everything around
We tend to be eclectic when it comes to love
Taking a bit from everywhere, till everything is lost
Good wine takes years to ferment
And time is luv’s basic element
Go everyday to the basement
And turn it the right direction
To get good wine you will need to pay attention
Handel them with good care, as if your life goes on it
Because if the bottle breaks, with it goes the spirit
Talk to them every night, and every morning
As this would be your memories, if one day they’re stolen
Good wine you drink it, slowly, no rush
Champagne is there prepare to slash
Wine gets better when the time goes by
You’ve the responsibility that nothing interferes its way

Champagne love lasts no longer than its bubbles
Drink champagne love and you will be in trouble
Champagne love, you should always dismiss
Champagne love, is a lethal disease
