[Intro – Instrumental 2 bars] [montuno] [Preludio - Verse 1] [Spanish] En la calle suena el viento, algo nuevo está por venir. El mundo gira lento, pero no va a desistir. Silencio trae preguntas, pero el alma va a seguir. [Verse 2 – English] Empty streets and heavy skies, voices rise behind closed doors. Hope is marching in disguise, healing hearts from distant shores. Truth and rhythm never die, we keep dancing through the storm. [Coro 1 – Call and Response] [Call]: Ahora y siempre, seguimos de pie [Response]: Con el corazón fuerte, no vamos a caer [Translation]:( Now and always, we’re still standing / With a strong heart, we won’t fall) [Musical Interlude – 1 bar break] [Piano solo riff + brass hit — leads into faster montuno rhythm] [Verse 3 – Spanish] La pantalla nos conecta, aunque lejos yo de ti. Cada paso nos afecta, pero hay fuerza en resistir. ¡Mira cómo el alma reta a este mundo por vivir! [Verse 4 – English] Every challenge, every wall, builds the courage deep inside. Even when we start to fall, we rise again with salsa pride. Voices echo through it all, from the silence to the tide. [Coro 2 – Call and Response] [Call:] Now and always, we rise and fight! [Response]: (With rhythm and love, we bring the light!) [Repeat with layered percussion] [Montuno Piano Break – 1 bar] [Improvisational piano over clave, clave drives forward hard.] [Verse 5 – Spanish] Aunque el tiempo sea incierto, la esperanza está en la voz. Desde el campo hasta el desierto, nos unimos, tú y yo. El tambor abre el concierto, y cantamos por los dos. [Verse 6 – English] So we dance for all the pain, turn it into something true. In the sunshine or the rain, we remember what we knew. Every beat becomes a flame, burning bright for me and you. [Coro 3 – Faded Layered Chorus] Ahora y siempre, seguimos de pie… Now and always, we rise and fight… (Con ritmo y amor… / With rhythm and love…) [Voices overlap in bilingual harmony, fading in a loop.] [Outro – Descarga Interlude to End]Soul,salsa,y sabor, Dale dale, con sabor... Wepaaaa.. [Percussion solo – timbales lead into final punch Brass stabs – final horn line quoting coro melody Band hits last chord on beat 1 – sharp and soulful.]
