Tacubaya is a section of Mexico City located in the west in the Miguel Hidalgo borough. The area has been inhabited since before the Christian era, with its name coming from Nahuatl meaning “where water is gathered.” From the colonial period to the beginning of the 20th century, Tacubaya was an entity separate from Mexico City and many of the city’s wealthy, including viceroys, had residences here to enjoy the area’s scenery. From the mid 19th century on, Tacubaya began to urbanize both due to the growth of Mexico City and the growth of its own population. Along with this urbanization, the area has degraded into one of the poor sections of the city and is the home of “La Ciudad Perdida” (The Lost City), a shantytown where people live in shacks of cardboard and other materials. Many of the mansions that were built here in the 19th century remain, such as the Casa Amarillo and Casa de la Bola, but most Mexico City residents are familiar with it due to its transportation hub on Avenida Jalisco where the Metro, Metrobus and many street buses all converge.
Waiting for a perfect breeze to come
For a change, no matter where from
Pushing the clouds away
Bringing better day
For too long, too long, the sky's been gray
A silent motion to a new life
Wind direction's holding me back...
Replacing winter by summertime
We will never change, we know it,
but we could try...
The entire world in a single tear
After the rain the sun reveals what real
Life's crystal clear, remaining
what we've been
Let's get the sun to ignite our skins.
A silent motion to a new life
Wind direction's holding me back...
Replacing winter by summertime
We will never change, we know it,
but we could try...
Replacing winter by summertime
We will never change, we know it,
but we could try...
Let's erase everyting from our past
Just to see it something somehow...
Let's erase everything
Something, somehow, anything...
I don't want us to die...
Replacing winter by summertime
We will never change, we know it,
but we could try...
Replacing winter by summertime
We will never change, we know it,
