ad astra
"Americana, muestra las piernas mi sol,
Latina y sana, yo quiero pasar por vos,
bendita pluma que oh, la creación inspiras, pelea mi tierra la canción que alegre al corazón."

If I had to pick one song which, in between leaving Latin America in April 2010 and returning in August of this year, I had listened to the most, this song would win without a doubt. It’s called Latinoamérica by Puerto Rican duo Calle 13. I’m sure I’ve heard it hundreds of times and it still gives me goose bumps every time. Now with a video which just came out yesterday, it’s even more amazing. The lyrics of the song are incredible, and maybe I’ll post them all some day, but for now here is the chorus:
“You can’t buy the wind, you can’t buy the sun, you can’t buy the rain, you can’t buy the heat, you can’t buy the clouds, you can’t buy the colors, you can’t buy my happiness, you can’t buy my pain.”
