Let It Play

Feel it!
It’s an explosion
And every time you hear it
You’ve got to follow your emotions
Groovin!
Put a smile on your face
You gotta keep on moving
Anytime, anyplace
Dancin’!
You will see though it
The wheels are turning
Come on come on just do it
Oh let it play, hear the music inside your head
For yesterday will never come back
Fly and you’ll find it’s alright
Just let yourself be free
Tonight
Higher and out of sight
And your troubles will melt away
You gotta try
Alright!
Hear what I’m saying
All the love you’re missing
Yeah it’s right within just waiting
Sometimes
You just got to let it go
Come on forget about it
Better just to be alone
It’s your life
So live up to it
No one can stop you
Come come on just do it
Oh let it play, hear the music inside your head
For yesterday will never come back
Fly and you’ll find it’s alright
Just let yourself be free
Tonight
Higher and out of sight
And your troubles will melt away
You gotta try
Now is the right time
So let your feelings show
You’re alive!
How can you try to survive
Get up and move along
You gotta try

Dangerous Game
05:59
|

I should’ve known the joke had gone too far
I should’ve seen the danger in her eyes
But it’s hard to resist
When you dream of a kiss
I should’ve known she’d set my heart on fire
Tell me how can I explain?
Wanting more than I should take
Dangerous game
I should’ve run away right from the start
I should’ve fled the scene into the dark
But you know that it’s real
When it’s time, you can feel
I should’ve found again that place to hide.
Tell me how can I exist?
When it’s love that I can miss?
Dangerous game
And now it’s done
I know it’s wrong
I’ve waited for so long
No one to blame
I chose to play
Dangerous Game
She played along
We sang a song
And I am not that strong
This burning flame
I’ll never be the same
Dangerous Game
I should’ve stopped the beating of my heart
I should’ve said: “we’ll never be apart”
Cause I knew all the pain
In the end will remain
I should’ve known desire can’t be smart
Tell me how can I embrace
When I can’t look at my face?
Dangerous Game

Give Me That Beat
04:28
|
|||
Leave the day job, you’re done feeling blue
There’s a whole world outside waiting for you
Now it’s time to play, shake your stress away
Unlike any other day
Get together ‘cause it’s been awhile
Great pretender, release your inner child
Now it’s time to play. It’s your holiday
‘Cause tonight you’re gonna say
Ooh ah give me that beat.
I know that you can!
Ooh ah move your body
Ooh ah make it groovy.
I know that you can!
Ooh ah shake it with me
We’ll be cruisin’. Come out with me tonight
Feel the music and don’t put up a fight
Now it’s time to play. It’s your holiday
‘Cause tonight you’re gonna say
Chorus x 2
For tomorrow brings the daily grind
Of your hazy pastel life
So tonight just leave it all behind
And forget your wife
Chorus
We’re movin’ when you give me that beat
We’re groovin’ you can’t control your feet
We’re movin’ when you give me that beat
We’re groovin’ you can’t control your feet
Chorus until end

Chameleon
04:21
|

I’ve been waiting to figure it out
I thought when I grew up it’d just come about
What does it mean to say “This is me”?
And can I be defined so easily?
I woke up this morning, look in the mirror
And think about the traits that I hold dear
How should I try to express myself today?
Because there’s so many ways
And when I change out of this skin
That persona can go, ‘cause it’s not personal
Oh baby, when I change out of these clothes
I know that I can show a myriad of souls
Oh baby, when I change!
Too many options. Nothing to wear.
An existential fuss I just can’t bear.
Which of the many facets should I show?
There’s even more than I can know!
Chorus
We’re like the chameleon
Our colours shift in other directions we go in
To stand out or blend in?
I’m not me, I am nothing, or everything because I can change!
Chorus
I’m anything because I can change!

Every morning I lie down in my bed
Ah hearing a pan man in me head
Playing melodies, driving me crazy
I think I go dead
He beating
He playing
He beating
He playing
Like an alien from a strange nation
That is coming to get me
Got me feeling this sensation
So I dance to me break free
Chorus
Una voz
una Cancion
un mismo dolor...
Un amor
un adios
y un futuro seductor ...

Lover's Prayer
04:46
|
|||
I believe it’s time
For love to come home
And for us to be strong
Let me ease your mind
You know love will set you free
If you only let it be
Give it up
Don’t make me cry
Stay around
Be mine
I’ll never hurt you baby
Oh just come along
Won’t you hear my song?
Tell me do you wanna leave now?
Show me you’re mine
Only you can let this love in
Hold me tonight
I can see it in your eyes
I know that it’s tough
Cause the world can be cold
Baby please oh can’t you see?
I’ve been loved and I’ve been hurt
And I know this can’t be wrong
Look at me
Love is so unfair
Won’t you hear
My lover’s prayer?
Don’t let this love fade away
Girl it’s you and me
This is all meant to be
Chorus

I Need You
03:46
|
|||
Who did I see when everybody was long gone?
Who did I trust when everyone was wrong?
Who did I know was always looking out for me?
Could I go back? That’s where I wanna be
I can’t imagine this world without you in it
Don’t you know
I won’t let go
I need you to hold on
I need you to be strong
I need you to spend the rest of your life standing here by my side
I need you to hold on
I need you to be strong
I need you to fight for this love of ours, save it before it’s gone
I need you
Hours go by: no texts, no calls, no messages
Why do I feel it’s something that I did?
Where is the man that’s always looking out for me?
Can we go back to where I wanna be?
I won’t imagine this world without you in it
Don’t you know
I can’t let go
Chorus
Lay awake at night and wonder what did you come for
Did I know back then that it was me who was done for?
I would get so worried that it wouldn’t turn into more
And then, eventually, you’d show up at my door
I would often ask myself, “why does this happen to me?”
I didn’t know back then that only I could make myself free.
Even though the signs were there that this was never meant to be,
can’t you see?
Chorus

Waiting On You
05:47
|
|||
Look around, everywhere
And tell me what you see
People all around
Searching for love
Everybody’s waiting
For tomorrow not today
Rushing through the streets
Just go go go!
Will we ever find
the love that we miss
walking in the dark
feeling alone
Well it’s time to realize to tell you the truth
that it’s only me and you
Walk with me
Sail on
We can move along
If you try
You will find me
I’ve been waiting on you
Are you feeling it too?
I’ve been waiting all my life to get real
So tell me what you need now
I’ve been waiting on you
And you know that it’s true
We’ll be together all the time, we’ll be free
Just show me how you feel right now
Every boy, every girl
Living in a dream
Wondering deep inside
What will it be
Everybody’s working
Just to make it through the day
Hoping to survive
And we can’t see
Can we leave behind
The pain that we feel
Can we be together
Living in peace?
Well it’s time to realize to tell you the truth
that it’s only me and you
Chorus

Moctezuma II
06:04
|
|||
And so, he was told
By men of his own
Their God would return
And the city would burn
And he was afraid
His kingdom would fade
For no one will save
A man from his fate
Across from the sea
In a murdering spree
To make him believe,
Get down on his knees
And so, late at night
He’d dream of the fight.
The murdering rite
For the God of the White.
He wondered, in pain
Though it was in vain,
If people were slain,
Would he still remain?
He thought of the past
His kingdom so vast
Would vanish so fast.
The shadow was cast…
And who would he blame
For all of his shame
Of being so tame
Like others would claim
As he stood in fear
He felt death was near
He heard loud and clear:
“The Spaniards are here”.
Moctezuma you must pray
Down in history you will stay
All your race soon will face
Moctezuma’s death

Wake Up
05:06
|
|||
All through the world people have the voice to sing
All through the world people have the legs to dance
But they sit in silence every day and watch their lives pass by
While the world turns and never bats an eye
Cuando la voz no se usó para cantar
Y la canción no se usó para bailar
Y quedamos en silencio Y vemos la vida pasar
Cuando el mundo duerme Y gira sin hablar
You‘ve got to wake up, open your eyes
Go to the streets and head for the sky
Wake up, forget yourself
Reach out your hand and touch someone else
Wake up!
Now is the time if you delay you cannot rewind
And when it’s done and the journey comes to an end
You won’t be gone if your heart belongs to a friend
Cause we’ll share the love and share the fight
Though the through the dying light
We will walk together looking eye to eye
Chorus
Do not waste your life
It’s an obligation
Happiness is found
In the common ground
Despierta!
Oye despierta!
