Stay with Me Jo’Nella Queen A la nanita nana nanita ella, nanita ella Mi niño tiene sueño bendito sea, bendito sea Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora Ruiseñor que en la selva Cantando y llora Calla mientras la cuna se balancea A la nanita nana nanita ella A la nanita nana nanita ella Nanita ella When I wake I find myself in a limbo stuck between my past and future with you Presently daydreaming Melancholy lingering, Longing lustfully for your presence Promise me that should we find each other again your touch would remind me of my inner strength I’d tell you only love is real and that’s what I’m searching for Prométame que si nosotros encontramos de forma accidental o intencionalmente El toque tuyo me recordaba de mi fuerza interior Yo debería decirte que Solamente el amor es real Y eso es lo que estoy buscando You come from your western coast and colonize me Caress my shore with your finger-tips One-two-three step You disrupt my stillness charmingly the shadows of the leaves on trees cover your ship and you press your body into hot sticky sand in anticipation The hot air that escapes your lipsa tropical breeze that tickles my cheek I want to give you my keys but I lay beside you still feeling suspended in time I want You But I’m paralyzed by memories that keep intruding I’m good at avoiding the trauma But your aura triggers the stress And we continue to undress And my heart is right here but my mind’s not We are in the process of decolonizing our minds while our bodies remain bound to Empire But I’m blissful; because in this moment if I let my mind forget this I can relish in the reality that in this moment you’re mine I am Breathless; because there’s light in your eyes Free but I cannot speak I don’t know why, but I don’t think I can say no to you Maybe if I trusted myself I would have told you that I fall easily That I’d miss you when you leave That I care deeply for you That I need you to keep the cross-faded promise you made me with your I want you eyes You are here with me And the thought of you is the only thing lately that makes me fall asleep instantly Calms my anxieties I do not want to apologize for saying too much sometimes and not saying enough other times But part of me is Sorry I wish we had more time Wish this was the right time But a beach doesn’t always get to choose who will walk into her life Dance her off her feet and Make her want to wait Prométame que a veces tu me ves en tus sueños, tu reina guerrera que viene a tu rescato Promise me that Sometimes, You see me in your dreams, Your Warrior Queen Coming to your rescue But if for whatever reason you never will Take these chains off my hips that draw me near you Untie the ropes that bind our hands and fingertips together And take back that first kiss of discovery Because my heart holds too many broken treaties to bear another one
