huracán 02:58
Soy destitua Fuí despojada Avergonzada Me dejaron sin cama Me dejaron sin nada (I am destitute I was stripped Shamed They left me without a bed They left me with nothing) Soy destitua Fui despojada Fuí masticada Me dejaron sin cama Me dejaron sin nada (I am destitute I was stripped I was chewed up They left me without a bed They left me with nothing) No, I do not feel your pain You have thirty days You have thirty days Your arms are nothing more Than sugarcane You have thirty days You have thirty days //Tengo dos opciones Puedo vender o vendar Esta vez viene del oeste el Huracán// (I have two options I can sell or bind up This time the hurricane Is coming from the west) Soy destitua Fuí despojada Avergonzada Me dejaron sin cama Me dejaron sin nada Soy destitua Fui despojada Fuí masticada Me dejaron sin cama Me dejaron sin nada No, I do not feel your pain You have thirty days You have thirty days How dare you say I can be Inhumane? You have thirty days You have thirty days ///Me quitaron la cama Me dejaron sin nada/// (They took my bed They left me with nothing) En el ojo de una Tormenta blanca (In the eye of a White storm) No, I do not feel your pain You have thirty days You have thirty days Your arms are nothing more Than sugarcane You have thirty days You have thirty days //Tengo dos opciones Puedo vender o vendar Esta vez viene del oeste el Huracán//

about

Huracán is a song about the issue of displacement, more specifically the kind of displacement that is being seen all over the island of Puerto Rico. People are given 30 days notice and forced to vacate properties that they rent or even own, so that developers can have access to the land closest to the beachfront.

The neglect, and oftentimes facilitation, on behalf of the government is leaving communities desolate, not only affecting homes but all infrastructure. Schools and clinics are left with no funding and are being shut down. Once-protected beaches full of crucial wildlife are being destroyed.

You will hear two voices in the song. The English-speaking voice of the oppressor conveys no empathy, and recalls the days where slaves were forced to harvest sugarcane, the main export of Caribbean islands. The voice of the people, which is in Spanish, begins as a quiet plea, and grows louder throughout the song until the final chorus, where the multitudes cry out for justice.
