VALE TODO (Alex Cuba/Noel Schajris)
ANYTHING GOES (Alex Cuba/Noel Schajris)
REALIDAD QUE NO ESCOGIMOS (Alex Cuba)
Ella es de Aruba y el de Barcelona Ella esta al día y el no tiene moda Nos les importa lo que el mundo diga Tan diferentes pueden ser feliz
She is from Aruba and he is from Barcelona She is into fashion and he is out of style They don’t care what anyone thinks So different can be so happy
Porque en el amor yey ye vale todo
Because when it comes to love, anything goes
Una escultura que hoy el mundo admira Seguramente le costó la vida A un gran artista que nunca detuvo Lo que sentía por su creación.
A sculpture that today everyone admires Surely cost the life Of a great artist that never gave up What was felt for the creation
Mirándome al espejo Me ha enfrentado la conciencia Sin motivo. Me pide que la escuche Porque piensa que algún tiempo Yo he perdido. Me invita a despertar A dejar de seguir Dormido.
Porque en el amor yey ye vale todo
Because when it comes to love, anything goes
Vale todo Tu quieras o no quieras Vale todo Si es de buena manera Vale todo No hay reglas en la entrega Se da y se recibe el amor así
Anything goes Whether you want it or not Anything goes If it comes from the heart Anything goes There are no rules to how it is given You give and receive love that way
Sin esperarlo llega un sentimiento Que se apodera de todo tu cuerpo No lo cuestiones no le des la espalda Si alguien te dice que no puede ser
Suddenly a feeling comes Taking over your whole body You don’t question it or turn your back If someone says that it can’t be
Porque en el amor yey ye vale todo
Because when it comes to love, anything goes
Vale todo Tu quieras o no quieras Vale todo Si es de buena manera Vale todo Al fin cuando consigues vivir Regalando lo mejor de ti Vale todo De aquí hasta las estrellas Vale todo Te encuentres donde sea Vale todo No hay reglas en la entrega Se da y se recibe el amor así
Anything goes Whether you want it or not Anything goes If it comes from the heart Anything goes When you finally know how to live Giving the best part of you Anything goes From here to the stars Anything goes You find yourself anywhere Anything goes There are no rules to how it is given You give and receive love that way
Sugiere que me arranque La ternura y la inocencia En un gemido. Y que abra bien los ojos Si yo quiero algún futuro Prometido. Me invita a despertar A dejar de seguir Dormido Buscar la realidad de una vez La que no escogimos. El mundo tiene prisa y es posible que nos lleve Al precipicio Si es que nos apuramos Engañados de avaricia y egoísmo Descubro en el espejo Que mi rostro se ha llenado Del espanto. Me rindo a sus razones Porque ya no es pensamiento ahora es un llanto Que me viene a avisar a dejar de seguir dormido Buscar la realidad de una vez La que no escogimos
REALITY WE DIDN’T CHOOSE (Alex Cuba)
SARAH (Alex Cuba)
Looking at myself in the mirror I am faced with my conscience out of nowhere Asking me to listen to it Because it thinks that I have wasted so much time
Basta con mirar tus ojos Y sentir tu compañía. para que a mí se me olviden Los misterios de la vida.
Inviting me to wake up And stop living as though asleep Suggesting to me to get rid of My nieve and innocent ways In one breath That I should open my eyes wide If I want a promise of a future. Inviting me to wake up And stop living as though asleep To look for reality, right now, The one that we didn’t choose The world is in such a hurry And may lead us to a precipice If we rush ourselves Fooled by greed And ego I see in the mirror My face full of horror I surrender to it reasoning Because it’s no longer a thought It has become a cry. That comes to advise me To stop living as though asleep To look for reality, right now, The one we didn’t choose
Basta con ganarme un beso Del baúl de tus deseos. para que la noche traiga lo más grande en un te quiero. Porque en ti Encuentro todo lo que soñé En nada me equivoque. Sarah tu no me agradezcas nada que todo todo te lo debo Sarah tu sonrisa y tu mirada Son mi alegría y mi consuelo Sarah que sería de mi vida de haberme yo perdido El placer de estar contigo en este amor que nos unió. No imagino de otra forma Ni un minuto de mis días. Sin saber que yo te tengo que me das tu simpatía. No me importa que termine El valor de economía No conozco más riqueza Que saber que tú eres mía Porque en ti Encuentro todo lo que soñé En nada me equivoque Sarah tu no me agradezcas nada que todo todo te lo debo Sarah tu sonrisa y tu mirada Son mi alegría y mi consuelo Sarah que sería de mi vida de haberme yo perdido El placer de estar contigo en este amor Amor, que de verdad
se deja ir sin escondernos nada Felicidad tiene tu olor tu cara enamorada Mejor tal vez no pudo ser Sarah tu no me agradezcas nada que todo todo te lo debo Sarah tu sonrisa y tu mirada Son mi alegría y mi consuelo Sarah que sería de mi vida de haberme yo perdido El placer de estar contigo en este amor Amor que nos unió. SARAH (Alex Cuba) Its enough to look into your eyes And feel your company So it will make me forget The things I don’t understand in life It’s enough to win a kiss From the depths of your soul So that the night brings The greatest I Love You Because in you I find everything I’ve dreamed of I didn’t make a single mistake Sarah don’t thank me for a thing Because I owe you everything Sarah your smile and your eyes Are my happiness and my comfort Sarah what would my life be If I would have missed The joy of being with you in this love that united us I can’t imagine any other way Not one minute of any day without knowing that I have you with me And that you feel the same way It won’t matter to me if the Economies of the world fail
I don’t need any more wealth Than knowing you are mine Because in you I find everything I’ve dreamed of I didn’t made a single mistake Sarah don’t thank me for a thing Because I owe you everything Sarah your smile and your eyes Are my happiness and my comfort Sarah what would my life be If I would have missed The joy of being with you in this love Love, when you really Let it bloom Without hiding a thing Happiness is her scent Her face in love Something better I don’t think exists Sarah don’t thank me for a thing Because I owe you everything Sarah your smile and your eyes Are my happiness and my comfort Sarah what would my life be If I would have missed The joy of being with you in this love that united us BRINDO (Alex Cuba) Brindo por tu boca dibujando mi ilusión En cada palabra que tus labios dejan ir Regalándome el amor y diciendo que eres tu para mi Nunca había tenido un ser humano como tu Que de mariposas hoy me viste el corazón Cada beso que me da me devuelve el mismo sol que le doy Eres el centro de muchas cosas De aquella nube que nos cubrió La madrugada que nunca tuve Tan tierna y dulce como el amor Que me das.
Brindo por el tiempo que he pasado sin brindar Por cada silencio que ha dejado de acudir Al encuentro de mi voz a mis ganas de reír de soñar Si las maldiciones me vinieran a buscar Tarde llegarían se tuvieran que machar Porque nadie como tu en segundos me da un siglo de amor Eres el centro de muchas cosas De aquella nube que nos cubrió La madrugada que nunca tuve Tan tierna y dulce como el amor Que me das. A TOAST (Alex Cuba) A toast to your mouth, sketching my hopes With every word that your lips let out Giving me love and telling me that you are for me I have never had a human being like you That today clothes my heart in butterflies Each kiss that you give me returns the same sun that I give You are the centre of many things The centre of the cloud that covered us The night that I had never had So soft and sweet like the love That you give me A toast to the time I spent without celebrating A toast for each silence that stopped coming To meet with my voice and my desire to laugh and dream If evil was to come for me It would surely arrive late and have to move on Because only you can give me in an instant an eternity of love You are the centre of many things The centre of the cloud that covers us The night that I never had So soft and sweet like the love That you give me
IN 1 2 3 4 feat. David Myles (Alex Cuba/David Myles/Debi Nova/Jared Faber) Hey que es lo que te quita la alegría Que es lo que te aburre cada día Que es lo que te cierra el corazón Hey what can I do to make you happy I can’t stand to see you sad I want to fix your broken heart I’ve got an answer And though I’m not a dancer I know that it starts with one, two, three, four One, two The night is young, it’s only just begun Three, four Se vive una sola vez, que dice usted One, two The dj’s playing songs we’ve never heard 3, 4 We’re singing loudly like we know the words Hey que es lo que te falta a ti en la vida Que es lo que te sigue abriendo heridas Que es lo que silencia tu canción Hey you remember when life was easy You remember when life was breezy But you can’t seem to get back there I’ve got an answer And though I’m not a dancer I know that it starts with one, two, three, four One, two The night is young, it’s only just begun Three, four Se vive una sola vez, que dice usted One, two The dj’s playing songs we’ve never heard 3, 4 We’re singing loudly like we know the words Y que la musica te llene todo el interior
So let that weight upon shoulders just disappear Porque tan solo una sonrisa Puede convencernos que hay algo mejor One, two The night is young, it’s only just begun Three, four Se vive una sola vez, que dice usted One, two The dj’s playing songs we’ve never heard 3, 4 We’re singing loudly like we know the words NI FORMA NI COLORES (Alex Cuba) Tu eres yo, yo soy tu Somos luces de un mismo lugar De los dos es el sol Es la tierra es el aire es el mar Pero no, que no me digan que no Que la ilusión se perdió Que ahora la vida ya no es igual Haré que mi corazón alegre tu corazón Sin escondernos ni contar los errores Quien sabe lo que es mejor Que yo conozca el amor No tiene forma ni tampoco colores Se nos va la razón Encerrados en lo material Puedes ir mas allá Desde un sueño el amor duplicar Pero no, que no te digan que no Que nunca vas a llegar Que ahora la vida ya no es igual Haré que mi corazón alegre tu corazón Sin escondernos ni contar los errores Quien sabe lo que es mejor Que yo conozca el amor No tiene forma ni tampoco colores woo oh oh oh
Solo tiene emociones Que despiertan razones Cuando el miedo se acerca a los corazones En lo oscuro y la luz El que todo lo puede El que no se nos muere El amor de verdad
CONTIGO (Alex Cuba/Glenda del E)
WITHOUT SHAPE OR COLOUR (Alex Cuba)
Un beso yo te daría cada atardecer Antes de ir a encontrarme perdido en tu piel Y así borrar las heridas que hicieron mi alma Padecer
You are me and I am you We are lights from the same place Of ours is the sun Is the earth, is the air, is the ocean But don’t, don’t tell me no That all hope is gone That now life is no longer the same I will have my heart make your heart happy Without pretending and without pointing out mistakes Who is to say what is best As far as I know Love does’t have a shape or colour We lose our common sense Wrapped up in the material world You can go further From a dream and multiply love But don’t, don’t let anyone tell you That you will never get there That now life just isn’t the same I will have my heart make your heart happy Without pretending and without pointing out mistakes Who is to say what is best As far as I know Love does’t have a shape or colour woo oh oh oh It only has feelings That awaken thoughts When fear strikes the heart In the darkness and in light The one that is invencible That never dies True love
Como quisiera besarte al amanecer Cuando ese brillo en tus ojos despierta mi fe La fe que me quita el miedo que un día tal ves Tu no estés.
Mi vida solo ha sido un juego A empezar de nuevo hasta que te encontré Allí donde jamas llegaron Ni el sol ni la luna a ver mis desnudez Como pudo suceder Que hoy volviera yo a nacer Es un nuevo amanecer contigo Me atrevo a contar los besos que yo te daré Quiero domar el silencio y el tiempo a la vez Pero no puedo contarlos me canso y me rindo A tus pies Mi vida solo ha sido un juego A empezar de nuevo hasta que te encontré Allí donde jamas llegaron Ni el sol ni la luna a ver mis desnudez Como pudo suceder Que hoy volviera yo a nacer Es un nuevo amanecer contigo WITH YOU (Alex Cuba/Glenda del E) How I would love to kiss you at the sunrise When that shine in your eyes wakes my faith The faith that takes away the fear that one day You may not be there A kiss I would give you each sunset Before going to lose myself in your skin And that way erase the wounds that made my soul suffer My life has been just a game To start all over again until I found you
Where neither the sun or the moon Ever came to see my nakedness How could it happen That today I am born again It is a new beginning with you I dare to count the kisses that I will give you I want to tame the silence and time at once But I can’t count them, I tire and give in At your feet.
Can you tell me where they lead Fácil tan fácil te quedas en mi mente Con pocas palabras me convences Y pronto detienes mi reloj. If you don’t wanna ride solo, solo Baby you can ride with me Si quieres yo me voy contigo, voy contigo. I can be anything you want me to be
My life has been just a game To start all over again until I found you Where neither the sun or the moon Ever came to see my nakedness How could it happen That today I am born again It is a new beginning with you
I can be your great escape Be your beautiful mistake Come on let me show you now Show you now, show you now oh oh oh oh Yo puedo ser para ti Tu más complicado error Come on Let me show you now show you now, show you now
BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE (Alex Cuba/Kat Dahlia/Julca Brothers)
LÓGICA (Alex Cuba/Czésare Santana)
Tell me, why don’t you tell me What you are thinking. Now you got me on a mission Can you show me how you move.
Un no rotundo me das Cuando te pido algún beso Parece casualidad que nunca te alcanza el tiempo Nunca me dejas entrar Cuando te llamo a la puerta De lo que siento por ti sé que no tienes conciencia.
Fuerte, son fuerte mis ganas de tenerte De llenar mi vida de tu suerte Y emprender camino para dos If you don’t wanna ride solo, solo Maybe you can ride with me Si quieres yo me voy contigo, voy contigo. I can be anything you want me to be I can be your great escape Be your beautiful mistake Come on let me show you now Show you now, show you now oh oh oh oh Yo puedo ser para ti Tu más complicado error Come on Let me show you now show you now, show you now Wondering baby I’m wondering where you are going Honey your feet they move so slow and
Yo quiero llenar de flores tus deseos y que broten por mi. Pero aún no hay un si Cuál es tu lógica Si sumas un dos mas dos seguramente da cuatro. Pero en cuestión del amor no hacen falta tantos datos. Yo te escribí esta canción pa’ que me tengas presente. Y convertirme en pasión y no salir de tu mente. Intento ver tus colores pero todo me lo pintas de gris Porque aún no hay un si Cuál es tu lógica Que no quieres decir y te cuesta admitir. Que este loco te gusta y te ha hecho reír Es ahora este es el mejor momento. Ven regálame tu amor
LOGIC (Alex Cuba/Czésare Santana) You give me a big fat no When I ask for a kiss It seems like a coincidence you never have enough time You never let me in When I knock at your door Of what I feel for you I know you have no clue I want to fill your desires with flowers and that they bloom for me But there still is no yes What is your logic If you add two plus two your sure to get four But when it comes to love there’s no need for such facts I wrote you this song so you would keep me in mind And it would turn into passion and get stuck in your head I try to see all your colours but you paint everything grey Because there still is no yes What is your logic That you don’t want to say and won’t admit That you like this crazy guy and he has made you laugh The time is now, this is the best time Come and give me your love EVERYTIME (Alex Cuba/Kuba Oms/RY X) Te dire que eres parte De los ratos que paso en el futuro De esas noches que intento ser maduro Y en que el silencio no responde Es preciso el hablarte Porque es tan difícil ver pasar los días Preguntándole a el amor que yo no haría Por demostrarte lo que siento
Everytime I see you smile I can’t stop thinking bout it baby and everytime I see you move All my boys are going crazy Solo busco el instante Ver mis manos resbalar en tu cintura Regalarle esta pasión a tu hermosura A enamorarte y muchas cosas algo me apura I want you to think of how I’d hold you in my arms When you are lonely And late at night how I’d whisper in your ear Now I’m not holding back I just want you to know how I feel then I’m walking away Everytime I see you smile I can’t stop thinking bout it baby and everytime I see you move All my boys are going crazy Si tu supieras cuanto yo te puedo dar En un beso La realidad podemos juntos escapar Si me dejas llegar, a entregarte este amor El motivo que me hace vivir Everytime I see you smile I can’t stop thinking bout it baby and everytime I see you move All my boys are going crazy HALF A CHANCE (Alex Cuba/Ron Sexsmith/Tommy Torres) Cuando digo que te quiero Digo la verdad Que eres todo lo que anhelo Mi felicidad La que un día descubrí Enredada en un deseo When I look up nothing brighter Is happening in the sky The flame of your cigarette lighter Dancing in your eyes With all the moonlight in your hair Life won’t be the same no more Cos I’ve found what I’m living for
You give me You give me a reason So I can understand The gift of every season Joy of every dance I don’t have much to give you I’d give you all my heart Darling if you’d only give me half a chance Yo seré de tus amores Uno de verdad Quien aun vea tus colores En la oscuridad Cuando sientas que vivir Tiene espinas tiene flores With all the sunlight in your smile Life won’t be the same for me Cos I know what you’ve given me Dame, dame una caricia Solo la mitad Dame una sonrisa que me diga mas No es un para siempre No es la eternidad Nena solo dame una oportunidad You give me a reason So I can understand The gift of every season Joy of every dance I don’t have much to give you I’ll give you all my heart Darling if you’d only give me half a chance No es un para siempre no es la eternidad Nena solo dame una oportunidad You give me a reason So I can understand The gift of every season Joy of every dance No es un para siempre No es la eternidad Nena solo dame una oportunidad I don’t have much to give you I’ll give you all my heart Darling if you’d only give me half a chance
NO ESPERES MÁS (Alex Cuba/Anya Marina) Dime que sientes lo mismo Cuando yo te miro Se agita mi pecho oh oh oh Algo que sólo contigo Yo se que yo siento Será que a mi vida Le entregas el verdadero amor Underneath the stars, all the world is ours and ours alone Verdadero amor, tan sólo sentimos tu y yo So, don’t let me, don’t let me go No esperes no esperes más And when you kiss me, it feels like a movie The stars’ll be shooting and falling around us We’ve built a city, where nobody sleeps This thing is forever, it’s 24/7 I love you so never let me, never let me Go against my heart, I’ll never win that way Mi fragilidad es culpa de tu piel Underneath the stars, all the world is ours, and ours alone Verdadero amor Tan sólo sentimos tu y yo So don’t let me, don’t let me go Don’t let me, don’t let me... Si lo se muy bien Es para ti mi amor Mi fragilidad es culpa de tu piel Underneath the stars, all the world is ours, and ours alone Verdadero amor Tan sólo sentimos tu y yo No esperes no esperes más
