"Cuatro" Lyrics

Magic sunsets

Shooting stars, on these last days of summer Summer

You got to drink in the day

Sway with the wind

Let your dreams take you away

Drink in the day

Open all the doors

Listen to the children,  Sing, sing 

Drink in the day, Open your mind

Let your vision guide you today

I'm not ready

To say goodbye

I want summer, to stay forever

Every day is shorter

And a little colder

Let's have fun on these last days, of summer

Drink in the day

Open all the doors

Listen to the children,  Play, play 

Drink in the day,  Sway with the wind

Let your dreams take you away

Here we go!

Solo  Play, play

The trees grow dark, with flocks of summer birds

Waiting to fly, as they follow the summer sun

Be happy today, and don't lose heart

'Cause you know, summer, will be, back again

One more time

Drink in the day

Open all the ways

Listen to the children, Play, play 

Drink in the day, Sway with the wind

Let your dreams take you away

So you got to

Drink in the day

Open all the doors

Listen to the children, Play, play! 

Drink in the day, Sway with the wind

Let your dreams take you away! 

We may sound different and not look like you

Yet we bleed just the same

We are your neighbors 

Your students, your laborers

Only with, different names 

Pay all your taxes and we don't complain

We are the immigrants that make your nations grow

We've traveled far, in search of a new tomorrow

We've fought your wars 

So you can survive 

We are your artists

Your nurses, your janitors

Only with different origins

Pay all your taxes and then get pushed to the margins

We are the immigrants that build the concrete towers

Pick the crops, and sow all those flowers

Take care of the children

The parents and the spouse 

Solo

We are the immigrants who help your life style grow

We've traveled far, so we could have a future

We've fought your oil wars 

So you can drive home 

We are the immigrants that make your nations thrive

We come from afar, so we could find a home. 

It's Sunday, can you stay

I'll make some drinks, and, we'll kick back

Play some tunes of the day

And let your mind unpack

Oh tell me, don't delay

Tell me what's on your mind, don't hold back 

I'll listen to what, you say, hay, hay

Are you in, or are you out 

Do you know, are there doubts?

Never know, please say yes

I'm waiting, in anticipation 

Of your reply

Tell me that, our stars align

Can you give, just, one sign

Let's talk about, this and that

It's still Sunday, say that, you're here to stay

I'll make some snacks

Jump into the pool

Kick back

Just relax

Are you in, or are you out 

Do you know, are there doubts

I never know, please say yes

I'm waiting

For your...

For your reply

Oh, I’m waiting!

And waiting

For your reply

Yes, I’m waiting.

It's ten years, since I left Troy

Telemachus is no longer, a small boy

He's a grown man

Oh Athena, won't you help him

Seek my story, with my own, comrades-in-arms

Penelope, Penelope

Can't you please wait, it's in our fate

I'm, on, my way, let Ailos, fill our sails

With the aid of the Phaeacians

I'll find the isle, I left behind 

Ithaca, is my home

Where the Suitors roam my palace

Drink and eat my food

Oh Calypso, of Ogygia

Can't you let me go

It's been seven years

Tell Telemachus, I'm still alive, and I'm coming home

Forgive me Poseidon, please Athena 

Help me, help me

I've roamed for one score

The Sirens, I had to ignore

Transformed by Circe

And thanks to Hermes, let Ailos, fill our sails

With the Phaeacians

I will find,

The isle, that I left behind

Penelope, Penelope

Can't you please wait, it's in our fate

I'm, on, my way, let Ailos, fill our sails

With the aid of the Phaeacians

I'm on my way, let Ailos, fill our sails

And help us find

The isle, that we left behind

Penelope, my darling

Penelope

Please wait for me

Can't you wait? 

 Hold me, hold me now 

Don’t pull away 

Your touch reveals to me 

That you don’t want to stop this now 

Release it   

Give into the feeling 

In the light of the day you will see what I’m saying 

Cause I know, what I feel is gonna show  

So tell me if you really want to go 

Baby, take the lead from me 

Tell me, tell me, tell me now 

Tell me, tell me now   

What you can’t say 

You see what you’re doing to me 

Won’t you, won’t you start now 

Release it 

Say it, mean it, believe it 

There’s an opening here, it’s your turn darling 

All clear 

Cause I know, what I feel is gonna show  

So tell me how you really want to go 

Baby, will you take the lead?  

Blaring sunlight opened their eyes

Is this the day, that all things will change

Or another day in this slum, this slum, this slum, this slum

You see, Lody she didn't, have a say, she had no other way

She had only one dream to dream

To run through the fields of grass

Play with my friends all day

Go visit my mother too

I would hug her and hug her

Maybe I could go to school

Maybe I would learn to read

Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I could be a kid

“Children Playing”

Another day with no end

Lody: Too much to do, I can't keep up

It keeps on coming, when will it stop?

Keep up, don't stop! 

Lody, you see, she didn't have a choice

No voice, no choice, no voice, no choice 

Up came the sun, another day

They walk the streets, nothing to eat

No shoes to shield their feet

There's so much to learn, so little time

What was their crime?

Set the children free.

 “Children Playing” 

Only if she could

Run through the fields of grass

Play with my friends all day

Go visit my father too

I'd hug him and hug him

Maybe I could go to school

And live the golden rule

If I could be, if I could be, if I could be a kid.
