CONTENTS SUMMARY
El Cohete (The Rocket)
Nos vemos cuando nos caiga la noche
Cuando no te siga nadie más
Aquel lugar, tú y yo sabemos donde se esconde
El cohete para despegar
See you when night falls
When no one else follows you
That place, you and I know where it hides
The rocket to take off

Get ready for a secret nighttime adventure with Irepelusa's "El Cohete"! The song paints a picture of two people who have a special, hidden meeting place they only visit after dark, when no one else is around. The lyrics use the exciting image of a "cohete para despegar" (a rocket to take off) to describe the feeling of escaping into their own private world, a moment so special it feels like a magical spell that might only happen once.

This isn't just a simple meeting; it's a playful game of push and pull. The singer describes their connection as a dance where they get closer and then move away, a dynamic they both understand. With the enchanting power of a siren's song, the singer creates an irresistible atmosphere that's too captivating to leave. It's a celebration of a secret, intense connection and the thrill of launching into a shared, magical experience.

No Si (No If)
Despertar cerca y hacerlo
Si tenemos hambre pues vamo' a comernos
No nos hace falta el dinero
Nos hace falta es hacerlo
Wake up close and do it
If we are hungry then let's go eat
We don't need the money
We need to do it

Have you ever felt so connected to someone that the rest of the world just fades away? That's the vibe Irepelusa and Jambene are giving us in "No Si"! It's all about that intense, all-consuming love where nothing else matters. They sing about waking up close to each other and just doing it, whether it's eating when they're hungry or just being together: "Despertar cerca y hacerlo / Si tenemos hambre pues vamo' a comernos / No nos hace falta el dinero / Nos hace falta es hacerlo" [Waking up close and doing it / If we're hungry then let's eat each other / We don't need money / We just need to do it]. It's a blunt and honest look at how desire can take over.

The song really digs into that feeling of losing yourself in another person, but in a good way. Irepelusa sings, "Siento que olvido quien soy / Me reconozco en tu voice" [I feel like I forget who I am / I recognize myself in your voice], showing how their partner's presence helps them find themselves again. They're so wrapped up in each other that they feel like they can fly and want to stay forever. It's a sweet and passionate song about a love that feels like it's just meant to be, even if no one else understands it: "Nadie nos entiende y no entienden que es nuestro cuento" [Nobody understands us and they don't understand that it's our story].

Parapente (Paragliding)
Y
Yo no controlo esta situación
No sé qué tanto quieres todo mi
Tiempo cualquier oporto propio
and
I do not control this situation
I don't know how much you want all of me
time any own port

Irepelusa and Cardellino's "Parapente" is all about that push-and-pull feeling when you're falling for someone, even when you know it might not be the best idea. The singer admits, "yo no controlo esta situación" [I don't control this situation], feeling a bit out of their depth. They might want to say no to an invitation, even feeling "gris" [grey], but deep down, they're holding onto this person.

It's like they're aware of the danger, saying, "sé que podría dañar mi mente sin salvavidas" [I know it could damage my mind without a life raft]. They're jumping into something risky, like a paraglider (parapente!) without enough water below, but they just can't resist. The lyrics are super visual, talking about jumping from a peak for just a bit more of that person's perfume, even if it means crashing down. It's a really honest look at that thrilling, slightly terrifying feeling of giving in to a connection that might just be too intense.

La Receta De Los Ponkesitos (The Cupcake Recipe)
Lo tengo preparado, cuando te estrese'
Te llevo ponquecitos decorados con nuece'
Llevo puliendo esta receta unos mese'
Que cada mordisquito sea como que me bese'
I have it prepared, when I stress you'
I'll bring you pancakes decorated with walnuts
I've been polishing this recipe for a few months
That each little bite is like kissing me'

Have you ever had a friend who just knows how to cheer you up when you're stressed? That's exactly the vibe of Irepelusa's "La Receta de los Ponkesitos"! This song is all about a sweet gesture of comfort and support, like a delicious cupcake for your troubles. The singer has been perfecting a recipe for months, ready to bring

Girasoles (Sunflowers)
Ahora devolverte como si nada hacer como
Si esto no me importara Como tú no
Quieres que yo más hombre si tú no te
Pierdes solo te escondes y yo ya no
Now return you as if nothing to do as
if this didn't matter to me like you don't
you want me to be more of a man if you don't
you lose you just hide and I no longer

Irepelusa and Antabaka's "Girasoles" is a powerful song about moving on from a relationship where one person was clearly more invested. The lyrics are blunt and honest, with the singer calling out the other person for their games: "Como tú no quieres que yo más hombre si tú no te pierdes solo te escondes" [Why don't you want me anymore, man, if you don't get lost, you just hide]. It's a declaration that the singer is done waiting and playing along.

The song uses some really cool imagery to show this journey of self-discovery and healing. The singer is "entre Margarita Busco girasoles que mantengan encendido los faroles" [among daisies, I look for sunflowers that keep the streetlights lit], which feels like searching for something bright and strong after being in the dark. They're "volando a donde bailan los caracoles" [flying where snails dance], a beautiful, almost surreal image of finding freedom and peace in unexpected places. The repeated line "no voy a volver" [I'm not coming back] makes it clear: this isn't a plea, it's a promise to themselves.

En La Mira (In The Crosshairs)
En la, en la mira
Entrando y al toque él me mira
Yo no lo pedía y ahora que me pida
Quedarse to'a la noche, no verlo de día
In the, in the sight
Entering and at the touch he looks at me
I didn't ask for it and now that he asks me
Stay all night, not see it during the day

Irepelusa's "En La Mira" is all about that intense, immediate attraction when someone catches your eye. The lyrics describe walking into a place and instantly feeling that gaze: "Entrando y al toque él me mira" [Entering and right away he looks at me]. It's a feeling of being targeted, but in a thrilling way, like a laser pointing at you. She didn't ask for this attention, but now she wants him to stay all night and disappear by day, keeping things mysterious and exciting.

There's a cool confidence in the song too. She calls herself "una princesa pero se lo que persigo" [a princess but I know what I'm after] and talks about working with the "tiras del castillo" [straps of the castle], hinting at a powerful, self-aware woman who's in control. The song feels like a late-night gamble, with lines like "Esto es un casino y yo casi no apuesto vino" [This is a casino and I almost never bet wine], suggesting she's selective about her risks. It's about living in the moment, embracing a bit of danger, and aiming high, no matter what.

Ciclón (Cyclone)
Maybe
Solo sé de ser
De coco y limón
Suficiente para ser Ciclón
maybe
I only know to be
coconut and lemon
enough to be Cyclone

Irepelusa and Lasser's "Ciclón" is such a cool, laid-back track that feels like a warm breeze on a sunny day. The song is all about embracing who you are, even if it's just a mix of simple things. The lyrics repeat "solo sé de ser de coco y limón" [I only know how to be coconut and lemon] and "flowers n' smoke" [flowers and smoke], suggesting that these seemingly small elements are enough to make someone a "Ciclón" [Cyclone] – a force of nature.

It's got this chill, Caribbean vibe, even when the artists sing "me celan" [they envy me]. They describe their sound as sweet, like the ocean, sand, or vanilla ice cream. The song also touches on a budding romance, with lines like "para darnos unos besitos cuando ya no hubiera sol" [to give each other some kisses when the sun was gone]. It's a fun, honest look at finding joy in simple pleasures, whether it's smoking, drinking beer, or just being yourself.

Fango (Mud)
Para soltarte yo no me quiero apurar ni
Estoy haciendo lo que me gusta
Paso adelante yo no me quiero apurar y
Estoy haciendo lo que me gusta
to let go I do not want to rush or
I'm doing what I like
step forward I do not want to rush and
I'm doing what I like

Irepelusa and Horus's "Fango" is all about taking your time and enjoying the ride, especially when you're doing what you love. The lyrics repeat, "para soltarte yo no me quiero apurar ni estoy haciendo lo que me gusta" [to let go, I don't want to rush, and I'm doing what I like], really emphasizing that relaxed, unhurried vibe. It's about finding that special connection, maybe even a little secret one, like when they sing "lo traje de contrabando" [I brought it in contraband] or "entrar de contrabando" [to enter contraband], suggesting something a bit illicit and exciting.

There's a cool mix of everyday life and deep connection here. They talk about simple pleasures like "comiendo mango en el parque en unas birras en la terraza hablando de arte" [eating mango in the park, having some beers on the terrace talking about art] and then shift to really intimate moments, like watching someone sleep and writing a song about them. The idea of words being so important, like "palabras son mi alma guárdalas por si un día yo pierdo el respaldo" [words are my soul, save them in case one day I lose support], shows how much they value expressing themselves and holding onto those memories. It's a song that makes you want to slow down, appreciate the small things, and really connect with someone.

Cuarzo (Caribe) (Quartz (Caribbean))
Que Dios te bendiga, vida, pero no fui yo
Viste mis espinas, fuiste tú quien me abrazó
Que Dios te de, vida, lo que a mí me dio de voz
El peso de tu cruz fue lo que nos hundió
God bless you, life, but it wasn't me
You saw my thorns, it was you who hugged me
May God give you, life, what gave me a voice
The weight of your cross was what sank us

Irepelusa, Niko La Fábrica, and Çantamarta bring us "Cuarzo (Caribe)," a song that feels like a journey through self-discovery and resilience, all while celebrating Caribbean roots. The lyrics kick off with a powerful farewell, "Que Dios te bendiga, vida, pero no fui yo" [May God bless you, life, but it wasn't me], suggesting a past relationship that ended, but without regret. The singer acknowledges their flaws, "Viste mis espinas, fuiste tú quien me abrazó" [You saw my thorns, it was you who embraced me], and reflects on how a shared burden, "El peso de tu cruz fue lo que nos hundió" [The weight of your cross was what sank us], ultimately led to their separation. But there's a sense of relief and growth, as "ya no está (ya no está)" [it's no longer there] is followed by "Mejor así (mejor así)" [Better this way], and the world actually became "más (oh-oh) Cuando lo compartí" [more when I shared it].

The song then shifts to a proud declaration of identity: "Que yo vengo del Caribe / Mira este flow no se escribe / Que yo vengo del Caribe / Esto no se cuenta, se vive" [I come from the Caribbean / Look, this flow can't be written / I come from the Caribbean / This isn't told, it's lived]. This part really emphasizes the unique, unteachable spirit of their Caribbean heritage. They talk about music as a weapon and a savior, "Música del alma / La vida golpea pero mis palabras son armas / Mi canto te salva" [Music of the soul / Life hits but my words are weapons / My song saves you]. Even through pain, they maintain calm and keep dreaming, "Sonrío aunque duela, yo solo mantengo mi calma / Los sueños se palpan." The lyrics also touch on the bittersweet nature of success and loss, "Lo malo fue que te perdí / Fue el precio por estar aquí" [The bad thing was that I lost you / It was the price for being here], acknowledging that some things are only real if experienced, "Si no lo escribí fue que no lo viví" [If I didn't write it, I didn't live it]. The imagery of "Muñeca e' trapo / Caballos de madera y cuarzo" [Rag doll / Wooden horses and quartz] adds a nostalgic, almost childlike touch, reminding us of simpler times amidst the complexities of life.

NO (No)
No quiero verme forzada a na'
Ni quedarme entre las sábanas
No quiero apagar luciérnagas
Ay, que tú y yo si podemos brillar
I don't want to see myself forced into anything
nor stay between the sheets
I don't want to put out fireflies
Oh, that you and I can shine

Get ready to feel empowered with "NO" by Irepelusa and Lee Eye! This song is a powerful anthem about breaking free from expectations and living life on your own terms. From the very beginning, Irepelusa declares her independence, saying, "No quiero verme forzada a na' / Ni quedarme entre las sábanas" [I don't want to be forced into anything / Nor stay between the sheets]. She's not here for a quiet, confined life; she wants to shine, exclaiming, "Ay, que tú y yo si podemos brillar" [Oh, that you and I can shine!].

This track is all about rejecting societal pressures and embracing your true self. Irepelusa boldly states, "Yo no soy unos y ceros" [I am not ones and zeros], emphasizing that she can't be confined to binary categories. She'd rather face a lightning strike or crash than compromise her path, singing, "Que me parta un rayo / Primero me estrello / Sigo mi sendero" [May a lightning bolt strike me / First I'll crash / I follow my path]. Both artists express a strong desire to live in the present, not wanting to wait for a specific day or time: "No quiero esperar hasta el viernes / No quiero esperar a diciembre" [I don't want to wait until Friday / I don't want to wait until December]. It's a call to live fully, right now, and to find peace away from the city, where she feels more like herself. This song is a vibrant reminder to trust your instincts, let go of past hurts, and always choose your own happiness.

BUBBLE
Ahora todo cambió
Estoy cerca del Sol
Me prendo un feeling
Me prendo dos
now everything changed
I'm close to the sun
I get a feeling
I light two

Irepelusa and Robot95's "BUBBLE" is all about moving on from a relationship and embracing a new, independent chapter. The lyrics kick off with a feeling of change and being on top of the world: "Ahora todo cambió, estoy cerca del Sol" [Now everything changed, I'm close to the Sun]. Our singer remembers a past love, but now they're just "cantando y fumando" [singing and smoking]. There's a bluntness in the questions, like "Dime si tú quieres, quieres, Porque sé lo que tú quieres" [Tell me if you want, want, Because I know what you want], and a clear message that if the other person isn't committed, they should leave: "y si no lo eres, anda no tardes en ir" [and if you aren't, go don't delay in leaving].

The song then takes us on a journey of self-discovery and freedom. The singer is ready for a vacation away from the ex's warmth: "Yo me voy donde no haya sol 🌴 unas vacaciones sin tu calor" [I'm going where there's no sun 🌴 a vacation without your warmth]. They're all about "ma' bubble gun y la oscuridad 🔫 party hard, volar y girar" [more bubble gun and the darkness 🔫 party hard, fly and spin]. The line "Estallo, estallo esa burbuja en mi cielo" [I burst, I burst that bubble in my sky] really captures the feeling of breaking free from a past illusion. Even though they admit to making big changes for this person, "aunque por ti yo corté algo más que mi cabello" [even though for you I cut something more than my hair], they're now shining and declaring their new identity: "ahora brillo, destello, soy Burbuja mi sello" [now I shine, I sparkle, I am Bubble my seal]. It's a fun, confident anthem about choosing yourself and enjoying the ride.

La Fuga (The Escape)
Luces y aceras por la carretera
Pa' dejar la ciudad
Me inquieta la espera
Yo ya estoy afuera esperando mi estrella fugaz
Lights and sidewalks by the road
to leave the city
The wait worries me
I'm already outside waiting for my shooting star

Have you ever wanted to just escape everything? Irepelusa's

Spaceman
Stage sand, waves land
Es donde vives
Abominable hombre del espacio
Stage sand, waves land
Stage sand, waves land
It's where you live
abominable spaceman
Stage sand, waves land

Get ready to blast off with Irepelusa's "Spaceman"! This song takes us on a whimsical journey with an "abominable hombre del espacio" [abominable spaceman] who lives on "stage sand, waves land" [stage sand, waves land]. It's a fun, quirky look at a spaceman's life, full of contrasts like "frío y calor" [cold and heat] and a serious sense of humor.

The singer isn't an astronaut, but she's right there, imagining collecting samples and seeing the spaceman's helmet full of smoke. She dreams of planting a flag together and stumbling through lost gravity. The best part? She just wants to see the abominable spaceman dancing, falling so slowly that the moment becomes eternal, all while wearing his "Casio waterproof del retro" [retro waterproof Casio]. It's a sweet, slightly surreal wish for a shared return trip to a place where "somos nuestro templo" [we are our temple].
