Patria y Vida is a song resulting 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's song
Because with your voice my sorrows vanish
And this feeling has now aged
You hurt me so much even when you're far away
Today I invite you to walk through my lands
To show you what your ideals are worth
We are human even if we think differently
Let us not treat or harm each other like animals
This is my way of saying it
My people cry and I feel their voice
Your five-nine, I double-two
Sixty years stuck in dominoes
Drum and cymbal for the five hundred in Havana
While at home, the pots no longer have food
What is there to celebrate if people are in a rush
Exchanging Che Guevara and Martí for dollars
Everything has changed; it’s not the same
Between you and me, there is an abyss
Advertising a paradise in Varadero
While mothers cry for their children who have left
It's over, your five-nine, I double-two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes, look
It’s over, your five-nine, I double-two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes
We are artists; we are sensitivity
The true history, not the poorly told one
We are the dignity of an entire people trampled
By guns and words that still mean nothing
No more lies, my people demand freedom, no more doctrines
Let us no longer shout Homeland and Death but Homeland and Life
And start building what we dream of, that which was destroyed by their hands
That blood doesn't keep flowing for wanting to think 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 over, the laughter and the cries are now flowing
It’s over, and we are not afraid, the deception is over
It’s over, it has been sixty-two causing harm
There we live with the uncertainty of the past, planted
Fifteen friends ready, prepared to die
We raise the flag still facing the regime's repression daily
Anamely Ramos firm with her poetry
Omara Ruiz Urquiola giving us the breath of life
They broke down our door, violated our temple
And the world is aware that the San Isidro Movement continues, standing
We remain in the same situation, security getting involved
Such things infuriate me, the enigma is over
Of your wicked revolution, I am Funky Style, here is my signature
You all are now surplus; you’re running out, now you're dwindling
The people are tired of enduring, we are waiting for a new dawn
It's over, your five-nine, I double-two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes, look
It’s over, your five-nine, I double-two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes
