Title A name given to the resource Typewritten lyrics for "Nacer de tí," in Spanish and English, with handwritten edits to English translation Description An account of the resource Lyrics read:  "Vengo del mar y la angostura, del cruce del camino y de la tarde. Vengo de las huellas y pisadas, de gaviotas viajando a contra-luz. Vengo del tiempo tuyo y del tiempo mío, de los que llegaron, del que no se fue. Mis amores se agrietaron y mis sueños sucumbieron en la estela de los barcos. Soy de los puertos terminales, soy de negros cabotajes e incontable multitud. Coro 1: Vengo del mar y la angostura, del cruce del camino y la tarde. Fui rebelión, cimarronaje, campanario de frágiles ciudades. Ruta, viento y polvareda: fui la fiebre y el oro que pasó. Coro 2: Nacer de tí, ser la tierra y el que se queda. Nacer de tí. Born from you I come from the ocean and the straits, from the crossroads of highway and afternoon. I come behind human footprints and the steps of seagulls traveling counter-light. I come from your time and mine, From that of those who arrived, and those who never left. My loves cracked and my dreams succumbed in the wake of ships. I'm from the Terminal ports, from the dark ocean depths, from the impossible to count multitude. Chorus 1: I come from the ocean and the straits, from the crossroads of highways and afternoons. I was a rebellion, a slaves uprising, a tower bell of fragile cities. I was the fever and the gold that [crossed out: came and left] passed on. Chorus 2: To be born of you, to be the land and those who stay. To be born of you." https://treasures.harvardmusiclib.share.library.harvard.edu/files/original/8dc3f07b6e9c3dae1e8fbfc9305285e7.png d93f5fb811a2b28a5c6881f7fa479142 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Rubén Blades, Antecedente and the 1989 Grammy Awards Description An account of the resource While the original version of this exhibition exclusively featured memorabilia from Rubén Blades's appearance at the 1989 Grammy Awards, such as the backstage pass included here, the online version also incorporates materials related to the album (Antecedente) for which Blades won a Grammy that year, like the poster for the record. Also shown here are a lightly annotated copy of the official lyrics for the track "Nacer de tí" ("Born from you"), addressed to Panama itself, and a handwritten list of possible lyrics to draw from for the traditionally improvised soneos in the song's chorus sections. Variants of these soneos made their way into the final album, first sung by Blades at 1:23 on the studio recording. The third, unused couplet reads: "I am the embrace that waits for those who long to return, I am the hand greeting he who just arrived." Geolocation: Plaza Herrera in the San Felipe neighborhood of Panama City, where Blades grew up.
