Cuba, how much longer?

Teri Dashfield invited me to join a five day photo challenge with song.ย I decided to post images related to places that I had visited and matched the images to the songs that represents or about the place. Please bear with me for the next coming five days, and to excite you more, some songs that I am going to include are not in English.

Day 2: Cuba

Quizรกs, Quizรกs, Quizรกs song always reminded me of Cuba. We heard the song in every cities we visited in Cuba. The song was written by a Cuban, Osvaldo Farrรฉs, about (complicated) romantic relationship. Just a thought, few part of lyrics represents the current situation of Cuba. No, I am not going to discuss about the politics issue nor embargo in Cuba, but I do wonder how much longer Cuba should wait to be fully an open state and no longer isolated…

Estรกs perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que mรกs tรบ quieras
ยฟHasta cuรกndo? ยฟHasta cuรกndo?

You lose time
Thinking, thinking
For God’s sake
How much longer? How much longer?

(Partial lyric of songย Quizรกs, Quizรกs, Quizรกs)

  1. ‘Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps’ is how I know it ๐Ÿ™‚ Doesn’t he have a lovely voice? You don’t always have to understand the lyric to enjoy music. Lovely share, Indah ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Hi Indah, how beautiful and artsy Cuba is from your pics n post about Cuba, and from what I read from other sources. I imagine, when strolling around there, it must be lots of delicate objects to capture in Cuba.
