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:
And you are my siren's song
Because with your voice my sorrows fade
And this feeling is now aged
You hurt me so much even though you're far away
Today I invite you to walk through my lands
To show you the worth of your ideals
We are human even if we don't think alike
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 in dominoes
Drum and fanfare at the five hundred of Havana
While at home the pots no longer have food
What are we celebrating if people are in a hurry
Exchanging Che Guevara and Martí for currency
Everything has changed, it's not the same anymore
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, my double two
It's over, sixty years stuck in dominoes, look
It’s over, your five nine, my 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
At gunpoint and with words that still mean nothing
No more lies, my people ask for freedom, no more doctrines
Let’s no longer shout Homeland and Death, but Homeland and Life
And start building what we dreamed of, what they destroyed with their hands
Let blood no longer flow 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 broken
It’s over, the laughter and tears have begun to flow
It’s over, and we are not afraid, the deceit is over
It’s over, it’s sixty-two years of damage
There we live with the uncertainty of the past, planted
Fifteen friends ready, prepared to die
We hoist the flag despite the regime's daily repression
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, steadfast
We are still in the same situation, security inserting prisms
Those things outrage me, the enigma is over
Of your malignant revolution, I'm Funky style, here is my signature
You are already outstaying your welcome, you are leaving
The people are tired of enduring, we are waiting for a new dawn
It’s over, your five nine, my double two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes, look
It’s over, your five nine, my double two
It’s over, sixty years stuck in dominoes
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
(SIXTY YEARS STUCK IN DOMINOES)
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
HOMELAND AND LIFE
