A Note from Tom Quinn: I think the video is historically significant, and it could change Cuba. The song is deep, with many intellectual and historical references that any Cuban would know. The song talks of many things, such as how they have been locked down for 60 years, how Marxist doctrine cannot be eaten as a replacement for real food, and the names of various poets and intellectuals who were imprisoned and killed. I mentioned in the previous email that the Cuban Government was super mad at this video and arrested a few of the artists for long prison terms. In the Spanish ecosphere, this song has gotten a lot of play, and I think it got a Grammy and other awards. Most people in the English-speaking world know nothing about this song and little about Cuba
And you are my siren song
'cause with your voice my sorrows go away
And this feeling is already old
You hurt me so much even though you are far away
Today I invite you to walk through my tenements
To show you what your ideas are good for
We are human although we do not think alike
Let's not treat or hurt each other like animals
This is my way of telling you
My people cry and I feel their voice
You five nine, me double twos
Sixty years of stalemate domino
Pomp and circumstance for the five hundred (years) of Havana
While at home in the pots they no longer have food
What do we celebrate if folks are scrambling
Trading Che Guevara and Martí for currency
Everything has changed, nothing is the same
Between you and me there is an abyss
Advertising a paradise in Varadero
While mothers cry for their children who've gone
(It's over) you five nine, me, double twos
(It's over) Sixty years of stalemate domino, look
(It's over) you five nine, me, double twos
(It's over) Sixty years of stalemate domino
