llego la hora,
lo que se siembra, se cosecha (x2)

liar, a dangerous thing,
the moment has arrived,
you reap what you sow)

poderosa, hasta milagrosa,
pero llegó la hora, lo que se siembra se cosecha
llegó tu hora, lo que se siembra se cosecha
(oh liar, you see yourself as a goddess,
powerful, even miraculous,
but the moment has arrived, you reap what you sow,
your time has come, you reap what you sow)
y lo que mas te rayara
es lo que dicen por allá
es que nosotros penya
es lo que se escucha ahora
(and what bothers you the most
is what everyone is saying,
that now what everyone is listening to, is us penya)

es lo que dicen por alla
es que nosotros penya
es lo que se escucha ahora

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
