lyrics

Verse 1 [Cime]

Alguna vez en algún año pasado
Yo aprendí a caminar
Y yo me fuí por donde me daba la gana

(One time in a year long past
I learned how to walk
And I went wherever I felt like going)

some time ago a long time ago
i learned how to be free
and free I was for a minute i forgot it
how drab and dull everything was

Verse 2 [El Cafe Atomico]:

Alguna vez en algún año pasado
Yo nací en el centro del caos
Hijo del ruido y la furia
Esperando un futuro mejor
Muy, muy lejos de acá, compay
Pero entre el ruido y la furia
Un camino se encuentra
Un puente de fuego
Que te abraza
Y te quema
Y te mata
Y te ama
Y te libera
Y te muestra un futuro mejor
Acá, acá, acá!

(Sometime ago in some year ago
I was born in the center of the chaos
Son of noise and of fury
Waiting for a better future
Far, far away from here, Compay
You’ll find a road
A bridge of fire
That embraces you
And burns you
And kills you
And loves you
And liberates you
And shows you a better future
Here, here, here!)

Bridge [Cime]
Si queres estar libre
Tienes que pasar
Pensando en tu futuro
Nos espera Bolivar
Ya no se cansó todo
Y lo puedes cambiar
Si andamos caminando compay
Se puede lograr

(If you want to be free
You have to spend time
Thinking about your future
Bolivar waits for us
Nothing is ever truly over
And you can change it
If we start walking, Compay
We can accomplish it)

about

Syzygy Records Aliso Viejo, California

Syzygy Records isn't a label; it is a portfolio of every project I, Monty Cime, have created.
When I was 11, I learnt the word "syzygy," & in trying to show an example of it, conjectured that "art is the result of an alignment (a "syzygy") of influences & life experiences beyond one's control"—these are my "Syzygy Records."
This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
