Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra – Cecilia (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra release the new “Cecilia” song produced by Sebastian Krys, Emmanuel Briceño. Watch the music video, listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track.

Produced by Juanes and Sebastian Krys, who has also helmed hits for acts like Shakira and Carlos Vives, “Vida” sees the pop rocker experimenting with different computerized beat patterns — a direct result of Zoom-composed demos — on tracks like “Amores Prohibidos,” while others see him returning to essential rock elements, from percussion to his dexterous use of layered electric and acoustic guitar strings.

Juanes adds, “[‘Vida’] definitely takes me back — I visualize it almost as if it had been a path of maturing towards childhood and returning again to the place that motivated me to make music in the first place. I think that this album, in that aspect, is much more played by me and my friends in the band, recorded here in this place where we are today, in my house. It feels really authentic, I’m so proud of it.”

Friday also sees the music video release of the love song “Cecilia,” the middle name of Juanes’ wife Karen Martinez. “Cecilia” features Latin music star Juan Luis Guerra, who has been a long-time collaborator of Juanes, and most famously produced his “MTV Unplugged” taping.

“I have always admired, loved, adored Juan Luis. I think he is one of the great musicians if not the greatest of all — I mean, his legacy, his music is an incredible thing,” Juanes said. “Having him work on ‘Unplugged’ was a unique and wonderful experience, it brought us closer together as artists. He took my songs to an absolutely beautiful and epic dimension. And now, after so many years, meeting again in this song is a very important milestone… also because it’s a song that I composed for my wife, who also loves Juan Luis. Literally, every day Cecilia listens to Juan Luis Guerra. Every. Day. Sometimes, I even get jealous because it’s like… Every day she exaggeratedly listens to Juan Luis!”

Lyrics

[Letra de “Cecilia ft. Juan Luis Guerra”]

[Verso 1: Juanes]
Cuando hablamos
Y peleamos no vamos a ningún lado
Nos lastimamos
Y más y más y más y más nos apartamos
¿Qué tal si nos olvidamos?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
De esa rabia destructora
Y empezamos por ahora a mirarnos a los ojos
Olvidando los enoios
Quizá todo así mejora

[Puente: Juan Luis Guerra]
Siento el aire acabarse
Si dejas de ser mi novia
Y cuando intento olvidarte
Más te pienso y no te sales

[Coro: Juan Luis Guerra & Juanes, Ambos]
Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Que tus atardeceres rojos
Son el delirio de mis ojos

Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Tú puedes colorear mis días
Cuando dices que me amas
Y mi corazón en llamas apagar

[Instrumental]

[Verso 2: Juan Luis Guerra & Juanes ]
Sincero, este amor por ti
Es de lo mejor que tengo
Si pudiera regresarme en el tiempo
Me volvería a enamorar igual

[Puente: Juan Luis Guerra & Juanes, Ambos]
Siento el aire acabarse
Si dejas de ser mi novia
Y cuando intento olvidarte
Más te pienso y no te sales

[Coro: Juan Luis Guerra & Juanes, Ambos]
Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Que tus atardeceres rojos
Son el delirio de mis ojos

Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Tú puedes colorear mis días
Cuando dices que me amas
Y mi corazón en llamas apagar

[Verso 3: Juanes y Juan Luis Guerra]
Eres mi cielo, mi alma gemela
Estar contigo, amor, que vale la pena
Eres mi anhelo, mi vida entera

[Puente: Juan Luis Guerra]
Y cuando intento olvidarte
Más te pienso y no te sales

[Coro: Juanes & Juan Luis Guerra, Ambos]
Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Que tus atardeceres rojos
Son el delirio de mis ojos

Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Tú puedes colorear mis días
Cuando dices que me amas
Y mi corazón en llamas apagar

[Post-Coro: Juanes & Juan Luis Guerra]
Cecilia! Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Cecilia! Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Cecilia! Cecilia, ven baila conmigo
Cecilia! Cecilia, ven baila conmigo

[Outro: Juanes & Juan Luis Guerra]
Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le
Baila conmigo
Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le
Baila conmigo
Lere-lere-lere-le-le-le-le
Baila conmigo
