La Recompenza(original) |
| La recompenza es basta |
| Y la vida una sola |
| Vivir hora tras hora |
| Para morir y ser yo |
| La recompenza basta |
| Y la vida una sola |
| Vivir hora tras hora |
| Para morir y ser yo |
| (Eliel!) |
| Aveces uno se pregunta si la vida es justa |
| Porque mi vieja se tuvo que morir de cancer |
| Y no estar aqui conmigo viendome triunfar |
| Porque mataron a Georgie, a Charlie, a Tony |
| A Carmelo y a su primo Michael |
| Porque los mataron y los dejaron irreconocibles |
| Y los tuvimos que enterrar |
| Y llorarlos |
| Y hasta olvidarlos |
| Aveces uno se pregunta si la vida vale la pena, socio |
| Porque la vida en el caserio |
| No es igual a la vida en una urbanizacion cerrada |
| Porque Victor Fajardo se robo el dinero |
| Que era pa' que nuestros chamaquitos estudiaran |
| Y salieran del barrio con un diploma |
| En vez de un tiro |
| Porque a Pedro Rosello jamas lo pudieron vincular con el palo del pueblo |
| Porque hay falsos profetas alfrente de una iglesia |
| Y hasta les permiten tener programas de television |
| Porque sigue la guerra en el caserio |
| Y las AK-47, como lobos de una fucking noche interminable |
| Porque, señora gobernadora, el gobierno nos roba la fe |
| Y mata nuestras esperanzas |
| Porque hay que seguir viviendo encontrando tantas dificultados |
| Porque los domingos en mi barrio no son los mismos que en Torrimar |
| Porque Norberto Nieves pudo salir a la graduacion de su hijo |
| Cuando a miles de preso no se les permite |
| Porque Buzo esta cumpliendo en su casa |
| Y a nuestro hermanito Tempo lo tienen cumpliendo en la Federal |
| Porque hay guerra entre Estados Unidos y el Medio Oriente |
| Porque hay que seguir viendo mas odio, mas ira, mas ratings |
| Mas carceles, mas masacres, mas sueños rotos, mas lagrimas |
| Mas historias de superacion, de fabricacion de cargos |
| Porque vivir, mi hermano? |
| Sientate, que te voy a decir |
| Vivimos, porque la recompenza es estar vivo, papi |
| Me aferre de la verdad |
| Y adopte la realidad |
| Por que vivir no es por vivir |
| Si no vivir pa' superar |
| Y me aferre de la verdad |
| Y adopte la realidad |
| Por que vivir no es por vivir |
| Si no vivir pa' superar |
| Yo me aferre a que mi viejo me amara |
| Sin embargo, Edwin Otero lanzo su hija al vacio |
| Yo me aferre a creer en Dios |
| Cuando sus representantes en la tierra cometian lascivia |
| Yo me aferre a creer en la lealtad |
| Sim embargo en mi barrio hasta los primos se tiran trambos |
| Yo me aferre a que el gobierno fuera algo verdadero |
| Sin embargo, el gobierno resulto ser una total mentira |
| Yo me aferre a creer en la paz |
| Cuando miles de puertorriqueños son llamadas al field de la guerra |
| Y mueren por gotas de petroleo |
| Yo me aferre a creer que el matrimonio, segun la iglesia catolica |
| Es hasta que la muerte nos separe |
| Y sin embargo, viene nuestra gobernadora y se nos divorcia |
| Yo me aferre a que los jodedores de la calle no chotean |
| Y pal de cocorotes panas mias hicieron valvula en la Federal |
| Y a que se habran aferrao' los dos chamaquitos que salieron de la Grabiela |
| Mistral |
| Sin saber que esa tarde morian en el Cerro Maravilla |
| Brother, yo me aferre al amor |
| Y estoy vivo |
| Este es mi testimonio |
| Gallego… |
| Don Omar… |
| Me aferre de la verdad |
| Y adopte la realidad |
| Por que vivir no es por vivir |
| Si no vivir pa' superar |
| Y me aferre de la verdad |
| Y adopte la realidad |
| Por que vivir no es por vivir |
| Si no vivir pa' superar |
| La recompenza es basta |
| Y la vida una sola |
| Vivir hora tras hora |
| Para morir y ser yo |
| La recompenza es basta |
| Y la vida una sola |
| Vivir hora tras hora |
| Para morir y ser yo |
| (translation) |
| The reward is enough |
| And life is only one |
| live hour after hour |
| To die and be me |
| the reward is enough |
| And life is only one |
| live hour after hour |
| To die and be me |
| (Eliel!) |
| Sometimes one wonders if life is fair |
| Because my old lady had to die of cancer |
| And not be here with me watching me succeed |
| Because they killed Georgie, Charlie, Tony |
| Carmelo and his cousin Michael |
| Because they were killed and left unrecognizable |
| And we had to bury them |
| and mourn them |
| And even forget them |
| Sometimes one wonders if life is worth living, partner |
| Because life in the farmhouse |
| It is not the same as life in a gated community |
| Because Victor Fajardo stole the money |
| What was it for our kids to study |
| And they left the neighborhood with a diploma |
| instead of a shot |
| Because Pedro Rosello could never be linked to the town club |
| Because there are false prophets in front of a church |
| And they even allow them to have television programs |
| Because the war continues in the village |
| And the AK-47s, like wolves from a fucking endless night |
| Because, Madam Governor, the government steals our faith |
| And kill our hopes |
| Because you have to continue living encountering so many difficulties |
| Because Sundays in my neighborhood are not the same as in Torrimar |
| Because Norberto Nieves was able to go out to his son's graduation |
| When thousands of prisoners are not allowed |
| Because Buzo is fulfilling at home |
| And they have our little brother Tempo serving at the Federal |
| Because there is war between the United States and the Middle East |
| Because you have to keep seeing more hate, more anger, more ratings |
| More prisons, more massacres, more broken dreams, more tears |
| More stories of overcoming, of manufacturing charges |
| Why live, my brother? |
| Sit down, what am I going to tell you |
| We live, because the reward is to be alive, daddy |
| I hold on to the truth |
| And embrace reality |
| Because living is not for living |
| If not live to overcome |
| And I held on to the truth |
| And embrace reality |
| Because living is not for living |
| If not live to overcome |
| I clung to my old man loving me |
| However, Edwin Otero threw his daughter into the void |
| I cling to believe in God |
| When his representatives on earth committed lewdness |
| I cling to believe in loyalty |
| However, in my neighborhood, even the cousins throw trambos |
| I clung to the government being something real |
| However, the government turned out to be a total lie |
| I cling to believe in peace |
| When thousands of Puerto Ricans are called to the field of war |
| And they die from drops of oil |
| I cling to believe that marriage, according to the Catholic Church |
| It's until death do us part |
| And yet, our governor comes and we are divorced |
| I cling to the fact that street fuckers don't talk |
| And pal de cocorotes panas mias made a valve in the Federal |
| And the two little kids who came out of Grabiela would have clung to it |
| Mistral |
| Without knowing that that afternoon they died on the Cerro Maravilla |
| Brother, I cling to love |
| and i'm alive |
| This is my testimony |
| Galician… |
| Don Omar… |
| I hold on to the truth |
| And embrace reality |
| Because living is not for living |
| If not live to overcome |
| And I held on to the truth |
| And embrace reality |
| Because living is not for living |
| If not live to overcome |
| The reward is enough |
| And life is only one |
| live hour after hour |
| To die and be me |
| The reward is enough |
| And life is only one |
| live hour after hour |
| To die and be me |
