Bailando Bajo La Tormenta
Hector Guerra
Dancing in the Storm
The battle drums are pounding
And they won't stop
Here comes the storm
The battle drums are pounding
We're a hurricane
And they didn't even notice
Times change but they don't stand still
Outrage and boldness right in your face
The air's toxic, that's no surprise
The beaches here on the island are either polluted or privatized
No one says a thing
Watch out, man, this area is closed
The world we live in is crazy, about to end
A hotel in the river's flow is bound to flood
Eruptions, earthquakes, tragedies of all kinds
The future looks dark, man needs to check himself
The drums are loud, I want you to feel it
I sing the truth and dance in the storm
And I don't buy the lies they make up
Ready for war, so they don't fool us
The battle drums are pounding and they won't stop
Here comes the storm
The battle drums are pounding
We're a hurricane and they didn't even notice
Hey politician, I've lost faith in you
The Amazon's burning, bro, what's up?
Another femicide, dude, what's up?
Indigenous massacre, man, what's up?
They privatize the water, homie, what's up?
Monsanto's selling, man, what's up?
Poisoned food, dude, what's up?
Animals dying, buddy, what's up?
They burned and murdered
My seeds in the fire, blood on the ground
They burned and murdered
43 students that no one remembers
The battle drums are pounding
And they won't stop
Here comes the storm
The battle drums are pounding
We're a hurricane and they didn't even notice
If the drum calls, gather the thunder
Clearing the ground, looking for warmth
Body to body feels better
On the street, the batey and the battalion
Shake off the bad, shake it all off
Storm warning with cosmic reggaeton
No matter how much they throw at us, they won't succeed
It hurts them that we dance even on one foot
It's not just dance or fight, it's both at once
They shouldn't think our groove is for sale.
