Guantanamo from Taurus by Ocote Soul Sounds

Lyrics: Marcos García

Guantánamo

We own the key
Take you to your room
We lock the door
And watch over you

Guantánamo

We bring you in
Show you all around
Stay awhile
So you can’t be found

Guantánamo

Be our guest
For secret holiday
Package includes
Endless nights and days

Guantánamo

Every day is full
As you will see
Come be our guest
Indefinitely

Guantánamo

The safety of a locked gate
Sequestered Cuban estate
The life that I want to take
Is mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine


The skin on my bones -→ enemigo
Massaged for the truth → combatiente


The palms in the sun → enemigo
Confessing to you → combatiente


The dirt on my skin → enemigo
Is hidden away → combatiente

The ocean whispers → enemigo
The price that we pay → combatiente

The price that we pay → enemigo
The price that we pay → combatiente

The safety of a locked gate
Sequestered Cuban estate
The life that I want to take
Is mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine


The charge / that was never brought
The bill / that can never be paid
The food/ they force me to eat eat eat
The beast/ that I’m made to be

The cage/ gets hot in the sun
The hands/ that pull out my hair
The dogs/ they’re flashing dey teeth, teeth, teeth
The men/ that make me disappear

Everyday is complete
The price that we pay
Everyday is complete
Mine, mine, mine
