^ Thank you! I didn't know there was a missing persons thread. The prodigal son is back for Christmas.

Anyway, let's dance now:

Miss Caffeina: Ácido ("Acid", 2016)

♫ "Conocido el ritmo de los cambios y los ciclos, ................................ [You have] known the rhythm of changes and cycles,
has ganado, has llegado al infinito. ................................ you've won, you've reached the infinite.
Vistos los efectos, superados los complejos, ................................ Having seen the effects, having overcome your complex,
has volado, hemos tocado el Universo. ................................ you've flown, we have touched the Universe.

Hay un vendaval que no va a esperar, ................................ There is a gale that won't wait,
hay un sol gigante para todos. ................................ there is a giant sun for everybody.
Hay un haz de luz en la oscuridad, ................................ There's a beam of light in the dark,
hay presente diferente para aquellos que lo quieren. ................................ there is a different present for those who want it.

Vas a besarme, ................................ You're gonna kiss me,
vas a ganarme, ................................ you're gonna win over me,
electrizarme, ................................ [you're going to] electrify me,
vas a gritarlo a viva voz. ................................ you're gonna shout it out loud.

Voy a sentirlo ................................ I'm gonna feel it
desde el inicio, ................................ from the beginning,
vas a bailarme, ................................ you're gonna dance me,
vas a enseñarme un paso o dos. ................................ you're gonna teach me a dance-move or two.

Conciliado el sueño, maquillados los excesos, ................................ Having got to sleep, having prettied up your excesses,
te has quemado recordando un día perfecto. ................................ you burnt yourself out recalling a perfect day.
Detenido el tiempo, controlado ya el momento, ................................ With time standing still, having got the moment under control,
has flotado, has tocado el universo. ................................ you've flown, you have touched the Universe.

Hay un vendaval que no va a esperar, ................................ There is a gale that won't wait,
hay un sol flipante para todos. ................................ there is an awesome sun for everybody.
Hay un haz de luz en la oscuridad, ................................ There is a beam of light in the dark,
hay un presente diferente para aquellos que lo quieren. ................................ there is a different present for those who want it.

Vas a besarme, ................................ You're gonna kiss me,
vas a ganarme, ................................ you're gonna win over me,
electrizarme, ................................ [you're going to] electrify me,
vas a gritarlo a viva voz. ................................ you're gonna shout it out loud.

Voy a sentirlo ................................ I'm gonna feel it
desde el inicio, ................................ from the beginning,
vas a bailarme, ................................ you're gonna dance me,
vas a enseñarme un paso o dos.... ................................ you're gonna teach me a dance-move or two....

...y volar a un mundo exterior, ................................ ...and fly to an outer world,
comenzar en un lugar mejor, ................................ start [a new life] in a better place,
sonreírle a todo y recibir ................................ smile to everything and welcome
el verano del amor. ................................ the summer of love.

Y mirar a la gente posar, ................................ And we'll look the people posing,
sorprendernos sólo si es verdad, ................................ we won't pretend to be surprised,
sonreírle a todo y compartir ................................ we'll smile to everything and we'll share
lo ácido que es hablar por hablar. ................................ how acid talking-for-talking's-sake is." ♫
