All I Wanna Do Is Die

Listen to your mama
'S what was said to me
Ain't like your papa
Shame creepin' up on me

With every cell of my body
And the strongest might
I fought with pride and indignation 
To prove that I was right
Till I won
Then I lost
Now I look in the rear view mirror
As I say
Hmmm…

Listen to the angels
That bless us from the sky
Believe in heaven
Don't catch the devil's eye

I pushed away any notion
Of a faith-filled soul
Then the news beamed horror stories
Of war-ravaged homes
What did I do to be deserving
But they didn't?
Now I catch myself sneaking glances up above
To say
Hmmm…

Life gives us chances 
But life is too short 
Time is a band-aid
Wouldn't you rather move on

So if you find yourself questioning the rights and wrongs of life
Maybe take a breath and one step back
And say
Hmmm… 

Take a step back
I'll say
You'll say
We'll say
They'll say

MI CASA

Guardo en mi pueblo la casa
donde vi la primera luz;
y aunque está vieja y ajada
obra de la decrepitud,
aún conserva su estampa
elegante y llena de luz.

El musgo cubre sus tejas
dándole un encanto especial;
el corral lleno de hierba
no es aquél de tiempos atrás:
el de aquellas noches de “fresca”
en familia con luna estival.

Estribillo 

Bajo su techo nací
sus paredes me vieron crecer
por su viejo suelo di
mis primeros pasos
buscando unos brazos
donde asirme para no caer.

-------------------           

Cuando me siento intranquilo
es allí donde encuentro la paz;
esa paz que siendo un niño,
y junto al fuego del hogar,
yo palpé en las noches de frío,
de silencio y oscuridad. 

Estribillo


MY HOUSE

I keep the house in my town
where I saw the first light;
and although it is old and worn
work of decrepitude,
still retains its image
elegant and full of light.

Moss covers its tiles
giving it a special charm;
the corral full of grass
It is not the one from times ago:
that of those “cool” nights
as a family with a summer moon.

Chorus

Under your roof I was born
its walls saw me grow
for its old soil
My first steps
looking for arms
where to hold on so as not to fall.

-------------------

When I feel uneasy
It is there where I find peace;
that peace that as a child,
and next to the hearth fire,
I felt on cold nights,
of silence and darkness.

Chorus

Guajira en el río va de la búsqueda de colores y alegría en las raíces cubanas. Va de la búsqueda más hacia dentro que hacia afuera. Va de las ganas de quedarse y no de irse. Va de una guajira mojada y floreciendo en el río.

BIO: Adrian Aguiar es un joven guitarrista cubano con influencias del jazz, la música clásica, bossa nova y géneros de la música cubana y latina. Comenzó sus estudios de violonchelo en el Conservatorio Alejandro García Caturla a los 8 años hasta que descubrió su pasión por la guitarra 5 cinco años más tarde. Se graduó de la Escuela Nacional de Música en 2019 y obtuvo plaza para ingresar al Instituto Superior de las Artes (ISA), pero decidió no entrar para dedicarse por entero a encontrarse musicalmente, seguir los caminos del jazz y crear sus propias composiciones y arreglos. Desde entonces ha participado en eventos como el festival Jazz Plaza y ha tocado con muchos músicos de su país como Dayron Ortiz, Emilio Martiní, Camila Guevara, Frank Fonte, Richard Fando, Jonathan Formell, Tobías Alfonso, Julito Padrón, Dayron Ortiz entre otros.

Guajira en el Río

Guajira en el río - Adrian Aguiar, Dayron Ortiz

I've got some thoughts, I think they're right
But without proof, I can't sleep tight
In a world of concepts, lost and alone
Chasing truth, needing facts to be shown

I need proof! Show the way
I need proof! Clear as day
I need proof!
Show me the proof!

You say this and that, but can we be sure?
Words without proof, just echo and soar
In the empty chatter, doubts start to show
Give me foundation, a logic to grow

I need proof! No more lies
I need proof! Truth in my eyes
I need proof!
Show me the proof!

In the margins of a book, a riddle was sown
Fermat's last theorem, a mystery unknown
Centuries passed by, with minds put to test
Until Andrew Wiles resolved the quest

I need proof! Show the way
I need proof! Clear as day
I need proof!
Show me the proof!

Seeking answers, day by day,
Facts and figures, lead the way.
Every question, we pursue,
Finding clarity, in the new.
Truth discovered, old and new,
Never stopping, I need proof.
Show me the proof!

I Need Proof

Ontogeny is an evocative piece from the album LIFE, weaving the complex and vibrant threads of jazz fusion into a story of survival, freedom, and growth. At its core, a driving bebop double bass sets a fierce, rhythmic foundation, symbolizing the unyielding pulse of life. Over it, fast, intricate guitar solos rise and fall, their fluidity representing the unpredictable twists of evolution, pushing boundaries as they soar beyond the familiar. As the composition reaches its apogee, a lush string section enters, embodying unity and resilience, underscoring the universal fight to preserve life and its endless potential to evolve - not just on Earth, but across the universe.

Someday I Will Forget You

Slip Through

Oh, what's slip through my mind? 
In this hot September time.
I can't help but to remind,
That you have left me behind.

每一天都像虚无的梦，
没有终点，也没有开始。
无声的夜，遮住了光，
只剩下孤独在心中回荡。

So what's slip through my mind?
Such beautiful morning sunshine.
但光亮无法再触碰我，
我却告诉自己，生活还好，
Life without you is alright.

Oh, the silence screams inside,
In the shadows where I hide.
时间像海，冲刷着我，
迷失在无尽的黑暗之中。

So what's slip through my mind?
Such beautiful morning sunshine.
但光亮无法再触碰我，
我却告诉自己，生活还好，
Life without you is alright.

梦里我曾是自由的风，
现在却只能在空壳中徘徊。
这一切是否还有意义？
我却感受不到什么答案。

So what's slip through my mind?
Such beautiful morning sunshine.
但光亮无法再触碰我，
我却告诉自己，生活还好，
Life without you is alright.

Slip Through

Call It Home

Time to make a stand
You can't turn back
No room for late comers baby
You can take the back seat
But I'm riding on the front of the bus

There's a cause for all this confusion
And its teaching us a lesson
Every day hey hey hey hey
But that's alright by me
Yes that's alright by me

Take a look around you 
And you will see
Society's your daddy
And your momma can't be seen
But she's still there
Pulling the strings 
That make you sign your life away

There's a cause for all this confusion
And its teaching us a lesson
Every day hey hey hey hey
And that's alright by me

You've got to reach for something
That can't be seen
Jump in and find it's dirty
But you're sure to come out clean
Take a chance
Life's a dance
Don't stop and waste 
Your life way

There's a cause for all this confusion
But it's really just illusion
Change it every day hey hey hey hey
And that's alright by me
Yes that's alright by me
Hey that's alright by me
Yes that's alright by me
