La Calma - xantos

Puerto Rico donde comienza a conocerse

El tamaño de la devastación que ha dejado el huracán María

Se ha confirmado al menos un muerto

Pero se teme que hayan muchos más

La isla entera permanece incomunicada

Y eso tiene con el alma en un hilo a miles de personas

Que esperan noticias de los suyos

Ah, esto se está acabando, ¿tú no ves noticia'?

Ancianos mueren por falta de oxígeno, asfixia

No te confundas, que esto no es un salmo

Esto es más que sólo nos tenemos, y solos vamos a levantarno'

100×35, no hay nada qué avergonzarnos

Cabeza pa' arriba, vamos a organizarnos

Si nos esforzamos a la meta llegamos, no hay lu'

Perdimos to', pero como quiera tenemos salu'

Aquí no hay plata, pero tenemos cojones

Variamente en tus oraciones

Yo vo’a cruzar to’s estas condiciones

Por ahí vienen to’as las bendiciones

Aquí no hay plata, pero tenemos cojones

Variamente en tus oraciones

Yo vo’a cruzar to’s estas condiciones

Por ahí vienen to’as las bendiciones

Que nadie nos coja pena, pero que se apiaden

Patria son tantas cosas bonitas, dile Rubén Blades

Positivo aunque la cosa siga estando grave

Con la fe en Papá Dios y que nunca se acabe

Esto no es una canción, es una rebelión

Sin política, sin antifaz, sin religión

Unos lo hacen por promo y otros de corazón

¿Qué es peor que un ciclón?, un tal Donald Trump

El gober' dice que vamos por 30 muerte'

Y que esta vez no tuvimos suerte

Lugares donde todavía no ha llegado el lente

Donde no llega el agua ni la comida caliente

Desde Culebra hasta Morovis, yo lo vivi, no me lo contaron

14 días pa' responder, que muchos se tardaron

Era como si de nosotros ustedes se olvidaron

No nos quieren de estado, pero sí colonizado

América Latina es una, que quede claro

¿Por qué te sorprende?, ¿por qué te suena raro?

Dizque «vago», mi hermano que descaro

Si soy un ciudadano y mi taxes pago

Tierra su campo

Si caigo 5, entonces 10 veces yo me levanto

Ah, PR nunca perderá su encanto

Cabeza pa' arriba aunque nos esté arropando el llanto

Ah, aquí no hay plata, pero tenemos cojones

Variamente en tus oraciones

Yo vo’a cruzar to’s estas condiciones

Por ahí vienen to’as las bendiciones

Aquí no hay plata, pero tenemos cojones

Variamente en tus oraciones

Yo vo’a cruzar to’s estas condiciones

Por ahí vienen to’as las bendiciones

Hold up, just one second

Let us play this for you, for you and our viewers

Listen to this

I’m very satisfied, I know it is a hard storm to recover from

But the amount of progress that’s been made

And I really would appreciate any support that we get

I know it is a really a good news story

Well, maybe from where she’s standing it’s a good news story

When you’re drinking from a creek, it’s not a good news story

When you don’t have food for a baby, it’s not a good news story

When you have to pull people down from their building, because you—

I’m sorry, but that really upsets me, and frustrates me

Damn it, this is not a good news story, this is a «people are dying» story

This is a «life or death» story

This is— «There's a truckload of stuff that cannot be taken to people» story

This is a story of a devastation, that continues to worsen

Puerto Rico where you begin to meet

The size of the devastation left by Hurricane Maria

At least one death has been confirmed

But it is feared that there are many more

The entire island remains incommunicado

And that has thousands of people with their souls on a thread

What do you expect from yours?

Ah, this is ending, don't you see the news?

Elderly die from lack of oxygen, suffocation

Make no mistake, this is not a psalm

This is more than we just have each other, and we're just going to get up'

100×35, there is nothing to be ashamed of

Head up, let's organize

If we strive to reach the goal, there is no lu'

We lost everything, but anyway we have health

Here there is no money, but we have cojones

variously in your prayers

I will cross all these conditions

That's where all the blessings come from

Here there is no money, but we have cojones

variously in your prayers

I will cross all these conditions

That's where all the blessings come from

Let no one take pity on us, but let them have mercy

Homeland are so many beautiful things, tell Rubén Blades

Positive even though things are still serious

With faith in Papa Dios and may it never end

This is not a song, it's a rebellion

No politics, no mask, no religion

Some do it for promo and others from the heart

What is worse than a cyclone?, a certain Donald Trump

The governor says that we are going for 30 deaths

And that this time we were not lucky

Places where the lens has not yet reached

Where neither water nor hot food arrives

From Culebra to Morovis, I lived it, they didn't tell me

14 days to respond, which many took

It was as if you forgot about us

They don't want us as a state, but they do want us colonized

Latin America is one, let it be clear

Why does it surprise you? Why does it sound strange to you?

Say "lazy", my brother that impudence

If I am a citizen and I pay my taxes

Land your field

If I fall 5, then 10 times I get up

Ah, PR will never lose its charm

Head up, even though crying is covering us

Ah, there is no money here, but we have cojones

variously in your prayers

I will cross all these conditions

That's where all the blessings come from

Here there is no money, but we have cojones

variously in your prayers

I will cross all these conditions

That's where all the blessings come from

Hold up, just one second

Let us play this for you, for you and our viewers

Listen to this

I'm very satisfied, I know it is a hard storm to recover from

But the amount of progress that's been made

And I really would appreciate any support that we get

I know it is a really a good news story

Well, maybe from where she's standing it's a good news story

When you're drinking from a creek, it's not a good news story

When you don't have food for a baby, it's not a good news story

When you have to pull people down from their building, because you—

I'm sorry, but that really upsets me, and frustrates me

Damn it, this is not a good news story, this is a “people are dying” story

This is a "life or death" story

This is—"There's a truckload of stuff that cannot be taken to people" story

This is a story of a devastation, that continues to worsen
