Just About Holding On (feat. Hugo Fattoruso & Andres Lafone)

From libertad to San José

We drove the roads they paved the way

From Trinidad cross the Rio Negro

We wondered how they made those places home

Pulling together and just about holding on

A mile or two from Trinidad

A camel stopped us in our tracks

Another stranger in this brave new land

Swapped sweet cattle grass for desert sand

Rolling with the punches

And just about holding on

Cinchando juntos, la van llevando

(Pulling together, they're just about holding on)

Cuatro por cuatro acelera pasando

Camiones cargados, lentos largando

Calor en la plaza independencia

Botijas jugando, banderas flameando!

Atraviesa la tierra, es una arteria,

Alimenta las calles del vecindario.

El ganado se junta bajo un árbol cualquiera

Buscando la sombra porqué los rayos te queman

Translation:-

(Four wheel drives speed up overtaking loaded trucks that give off heat,

It's hot in the Independence plaza

kids are playing and flags are swaying

(The road) cuts through the land like an artery nourishing the streets of the neighbourhoods

The cattle gather under any tree they can find

looking for shade because the rays burn

The city swells in harmony

(Ahí viene la llamada)

A dog & traffic symphony

And people flock from wide & far

Applaud the sunset from the busy Rambla

Rubbing together & just about holding on

Cinchando juntos, la van llevando

(Pulling together, they're just about holding on)
