about

As Hurricane Irene terrorized the northeast US I told my friend and former Yoruba Andavo quintero , the legendary rumbero Roman Diaz, that he should be careful cause there would be many flying objects with the approaching storm winds. He responded in his deep gravelly voice, “tu estas hablando de “proyectiles ciclonicos Conde” … to which I burst out laughing and immediately recognized the cause for song and the inspiration that became the first line of Amor Ciclonico. I wrote the first two verses and Roman wrote the last 3 in a very flowery poetic verse. It was a fun collaboration!

lyrics

Amor Ciclonico
Jose Conde/Roman Diaz

Como un proyectil ciclonico
En una noche de tormenta
Cuando menos lo esperaba
Tu amor golpio en mi

Llego con un impacto Ironico
Estrallo tu pura belleza
Con indudable fuerza
Tu amor golpio en mi
Humeda figura electrizante
Mensajera del encanto tropical
Como torbellino enamorado
Tu amor golpeo en mi,

Humedad figura electrizante
Mensajera de deleite tropical
Como bella ola refrescante
Tu amor golpeo en mi

Peligra la Sequia del amor
El viento danza a tu favor
Borrando Duda la lluvia
Tu Amor golpeo en mi

Cicolonic Love


Like a ciclonic projectile
On a tormented night
When I least expected it
Your love hit me

It arrived with ironic impact
Your pure beauty crashed into me
With an undoubtable force
Your love hit me

Moist electrifying beauty
Messenger of tropical enchantment
Like a lovesick whirlwind
Your love hit me

Moist electrifying beauty
Messenger of tropical delights
Like a beautiful refreshing wave
Your love hit me


Danger of love drought
The wind has come in your favor
Erasing doubt with the rains
Your love hit me
