Rubén Blades: “Ganas de Verte” (1996)
The title translates as “I want to see you” and although the translation that I found for the rest is a little muddy in places, I do like this verse:
Sometimes I think I have heard your call
Above the roar of the waves in the sea
I hope tomorrow brings an awakening
You next to me
Panamanian singer-songwriter, Latin jazz artist, accomplished actor, Harvard graduate and activist Blades has had a long and interesting career. Musically, he’s credited with experimenting with and broadening the style of Salsa music over a period stretching back to the 1970’s.
Other than that he holds a law degree and has run for president of his country, capturing 18% of the vote in 1994.
…pretty much like any singer.
