Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I tried to figure out how to play this wonderful song and this is what came out. Consider it as a first try at it ... but i guess you can still have fun playing it even using different rythms, strumming styles and/or ornaments. Have fun. For comments or corrections: [email protected]
SOY LUZ Y SOMBRA
[G] Soy luz y sombra, el sol brillante.
[Em7] Frío beso de nubes, [Cadd9] frío beso de nubes
[G] Que acarisia tu piel, que apolla tu andar.
[Em7] La roca bajo tus pies, [Cadd9] soy.
[G] La voz del [Dsus4] búho, [A7sus4] que siempre nos [Cadd9] canta,
[Em7] “¿Quién podra [Dsus4] negarnos, [A7sus4] lo que nos [Cadd9] falta?”
[Em7] Todos pasan sus [Dsus4] días [A7sus4] entre mis [Cadd9] brazos.
[G] Tenemos [Dsus4] mucho que [A7sus4] compartir. [Cadd9]
[G] Hogar fecundo de árboles viejos,
[Em7] De flores tiernas [Cadd9] recién nacidas.
[G] Con raíces maduras y esperanza futuras,
[Em7] La familia unida. [Cadd9]
[G] Pregúntale al polvo de donde nacimos.
[Em7] Pregúntale al bosque que [Cadd9] con la lluvia crecimos.
[G] Pregúntale a las palmas que con el viento se mueven.
[Em7] Escucha el corazón [Cadd9] de tu madre y pruebe.
[G] La voz del [Dsus4] búho, [A7sus4] que siempre nos [Cadd9] canta,
[Em7] “¿Quién podra [Dsus4] negarnos, [A7sus4] lo que nos [Cadd9] falta?”
[Em7] Todos pasan sus [Dsus4] días [A7sus4] entre mis [Cadd9] brazos.
[G] Tenemos [Dsus4] mucho que [A7sus4] compartir. [Cadd9]
