about

El Clasificado (the classified ad) is a run on existential sentence written as if it were in a personal ......"seeking someone who sees sound" "Pain that feels a smile" a deep deep love..... The songo rhythm here is customized by the conga player Carlos "gogo" Gomez and has inflections of Fela afrobeat.

lyrics

El Clasificado
funky songo a la Gogo
by Jose Conde


yo busco ojos que ven sonido
oidos que escuchan color
dolor que siente sonrisa
amor profundo
amor

vivir en este momento
es lo que yo intento
contento con el aire que respiro
y tu beso mama
y tu beso

tu sabes que yo siempre e sentido
algo mas alla
de lo que yo e vivido
como un guajiro en la ciudad
la ciudad en un guajiro

pero a mi me cuesta decir
todo lo que quiero decir
en el espacio de palabras
y aun tan pocas palabras
por eso te lo digo con mis besos
y mis caricias
y mi sabor cubano

(coro1)
si tu te sientes asi
respondeme
(coro2)
desde Nueva York a la Habana
yo te estoy buscando a ti
si tu te sientes asi respondeme negra
pa que tu seas feliz /pa que yo sea feliz
pa que seamos feliz feliz feliz
en medio de la soledad
respondeme

The Classified Ad

im searching for eyes that see sound
ears that hear color
pain that feels a smile
deep love......


to live in this moment
is what I intend
happy with the air I breathe
and your kisses
and your kiss.....

you know ive always felt
something beyond what i ve lived
like a guajiro (cowboy) in the city
the city in a guajiro ........


but its difficult for me to say
all that I want to say
in the space of words
and here so few words
thats why I speak with my kiss
and my caress
and my Cuban flavor.........

If you feel this way
respond to me..................

from New York to Havana
I am searching for you
if you feel the same as me
respond
