Un regalito de Navidad para todos. Siempre me ha encantando esta canción! Ha sido un orgullo boricua toda mi vida y he estado por hacerle una versión por años. Para los que no conocen esta canción, Villancico Yaucano, fue escrita en el 1951 por el autor puertorriqueño Amaury Veray Torregosa. Cuenta la historia de Juan, un verdurero de Yauco, que visita al niño Jesús y, al no tener un don para regalarle, le ofrece su corazón. Esta es la primera producción de @musiana y yo de nuestra casita en Rincón. Espero que la disfruten!

Lyrics:
Quisiera niño besarte
Y San José no me deja
Dice que te haré llorar
¿Verdad que aún así me dejas?

Ha nacido en un portal
Llenito de telarañas
Entre la mula y el buey
El Redentor de las almas

En Belén tocan a fuego
Del portal sale una llama
Es una estrella en el cielo
Que ha caído entre las pajas

Yo soy un pobre yaucano
Que vengo de Yauco aquí
Y a mi niño Dios le traigo
Un gallo quiquiriquí

Ya lo sabes, niño hermoso
Soy del pueblo del café
Por si quieres dos saquitos
También yo te los traeré

Yo soy Juan el verdurero
Que vengo de la montaña
Y te traigo viandas buenas
Desde mi humilde cabaña

Al niño recién nacido
Todos le ofrecen un don
Yo, como no tengo nada
Le ofrezco mi corazón

WISH I KNEW
(R. Moon/T. Cohen)

Some of them will stick around
Some will come and some will go
though I can't say why
Yes, I know, I tend to oversee
Well, you know to the degree
That I wish I knew

Everything about you
I don't want to be afraid anymore
Dreading the moment you would turn

And slip away,
leaving me to walk in circles
while I wonder why you went
and it makes no sense
you were never sure, and those
doubts drew us apart, so I guess I'll say goodbye
Oh, I wish I knew

Everything about you
I don't want to be afraid anymore
Dreading the moment you would leave and run away...

Wish I Knew

My Words Used To Mean Something To You

Don't you ever forget, that you're the music in me.

Rain In Miami

"think what you are,
you're not very far..."

"no weight,
no wait at all..."


"Grave Digger i told you to wait,
for the faith that ferments fate,"

"on the gnaw-ledge,
(take a dive)"

"Grave Waiter didn't i say to dig,
need a hole 10 000 feet big,"

"Grave Digger won't you raise the dead,
that go pacing through your head?"

the plummet of the summit,
isn't that what i saw?
the  stairway was a tongue,
leading into the maw,
and the seekers it scoured,
were all duly devoured,

don't say "it gets better" 

if it gets better with time,
then how come i'm,
always in pain,
again and again,

if it get's better with time,
then how come i'm still waiting,
all of the time,
sitting here contemplating,
just what i'm gonna do,
when there's nothing that i can,
but the horizon is blue,
and it's holding my hand,

it says "it gets better with time"

but i could barely see,

does it get better with time?

"it gets better with time,"

if it gets better with time,
(how can it?)
then how come i'm still sinking,

down in the grime,
(dead planet)
sitting alone and thinking,

just what i'm gonna do,
when there's nothing that i can,
but the horizon is blue,
and it's holding my hand,

it says "it gets better with time"
better with time,

they say it get's better with time,
and all that i can do is climb,
but that's some bygone paradigm,
called up and up,

when moving up means falling down,
with everybody all around,
i wrap myself within the sound,
SO very cold,

i don't wanna...

Just Not Fair

Born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Rick Moon is a producer/singer/songwriter living and working in Miami, Florida.  He has been writing and producing songs since he was 12 years old.  After various bands in PR and a brief stint in college studying classical music, Rick Moon moved to Miami to pursue an education in Audio Production. On June 7, 2012, Rick Moon released the poppy feel-good debut album, Tired Of Sleeping. Tired Of Sleeping received positive feedback from audiences in NY, LA, Miami and Puerto Rico and its title-song, Tired Of Sleeping, was placed in regular rotation on Puerto Rican radio.

Moon released a second album in September 2015 called Cottage Scenes and began performing with a new band in Miami, FL. After beginning to perform with other artists and taking on several projects as producer, Moon released his third album, Electric Lunch. This album showcases a significant sonic expansion from his previously more subdued and folksy, Cottage Scenes. The self-produced concept album with big power-pop hooks points to Rick’s lifelong love of XTC, Todd Rundgren, Mersey Beat, and classic British rock at large.

Rick Moon followed Electric Lunch with a single called, Faulty Design, which set Moon on a new path of dreamy synth-bedroom-pop. He's currently recording his next album which he's been working on on-and-off due to his busy career as a songwriter, mixing engineer, live performer and producer for other artists and his side-projects.
