Patria y Vida is a song born from the collaboration of Maykel Osorbo, El Funky, Yotuel, Gente de Zona, and Descemer Bueno, dedicated to demanding the end of the Cuban regime and the freedom of Cuba.
Lyrics of Patria y Vida:
Y You are my siren song
Because with your voice my sorrows fade away
And this feeling is already ancient
You hurt me so much even though you're far away
Today I invite you to walk through my fields
To show you what your ideals are worth
We are human even if we think differently
Let's not treat or harm each other like animals
This is my way of telling you
My people cry and I feel their voice
Your five nine, my double two
Sixty years stuck at dominoes
Drums and fanfare for the five hundred in Havana
While at home the pots have no food
What are we celebrating if people are rushing
Exchanging Che Guevara and Martí for currency
Everything has changed, it's not the same
Between you and me, there’s an abyss
Advertising a paradise in Varadero
While mothers weep for their children who left
It's over, your five nine, my double two
It’s done, sixty years stuck at dominoes, look
It's over, your five nine, my double two
It’s done, sixty years locked in dominoes
We are artists, we are sensitivity
The true story, not the poorly told one
We are the dignity of an entire trampled people
At gunpoint and with words that are still nothing
No more lies, my people demand freedom, no more doctrines
Let's no longer shout Homeland and Death but Homeland and Life
And let's start building what we dream, what was destroyed by their hands
That blood doesn't continue to flow for thinking differently
Who told you that Cuba belongs to you when my Cuba belongs to all my people
It's over, your time has expired, the silence has been broken
It's done, the laughter has ended and the tears are already flowing
It’s over, and we are not afraid, the deception is over
It's done, it’s been sixty-two years of harm
There we live with the uncertainty of the past, planted
Fifteen friends ready, prepared to die
We raise the flag, still facing the repression of the regime to this day
Anamely Ramos firm with her poetry
Omara Ruiz Urquiola giving us breath of life
They broke our door, violated our temple
And the world is aware that the San Isidro Movement continues, standing
We remain in the same situation, the security forces inserting their prism
Those things infuriate me, the enigma is over
Of that your malignant revolution, I'm Funky style here’s my signature
You are already surplus, you have nothing left, you're going down
The people are tired of enduring, we’re waiting for a new dawn
It’s over, your five nine, my double two
It’s done, sixty years stuck at dominoes, look
It’s over, your five nine, my double two
It’s done, sixty years locked in dominoes
