*We already mentioned indie rock-band Havalina before (here and here), but we haven't talked about their two last albums yet: H (2012) and Islas de cemento ("Cement Islands", 2015). The confirmation that this is an outstanding group, really. Absolutely recommended. Don't worry if you can't understand some lyrics. The strongest point of these two albums is the music, and it's fantastic (anyway, in case you're interested, I've translated several lyrics here). These are four examples:

- Norte ("North", 2012) and Cristales rotos sobre el asfalto mojado ("Pieces of Glass on the Wet Road", 2015):

Norte
♫ "He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north,
ahora viajo al sur, ................................ now I go to the south,
hacia el centro del calor. ................................ to the core of the heat.
No más días fríos, ................................ [There will be] no more cold days,
no más decepción, ................................ [there will be] no more disappointments,
cada día un nuevo adiós. ................................ every day [there will be] a new goodbye.

Derretir tu nieve, ................................ [I want] to melt your snow,
empapar el sol, ................................ to drench the sun,
embriagarnos de su luz. ................................ [I want us] to get intoxicated by its light.
He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north,
te he encontrado aquí, ................................ I've found you here,
en el centro del calor. ................................ in the core of the heat." ♫

- Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota ("A Watch with a Broken Dial", 2015) and El estruendo ("The Blast", 2012):

Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota

♫ "La hierba finalmente ................................ Grass has finally
ha dejado de crecer ................................ stopped growing
bajo el puente. ................................ under the bridge.

Todos los recuerdos, ................................ All my memories,
los trozos de mi cuerpo ................................ my buried
enterrados ................................ body parts
quedarán conmigo ................................ will remain with me
para siempre; ................................ forever;
se borrarán de aquí ................................ they will vanish from here
lentamente. ................................ slowly.

Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid
de este cuerpo ................................ of this body
solamente espero ................................ I just hope
sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you
con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump.

Mi lengua y mi cerebro ................................ My tongue and my brain
en un charco, ................................ into a puddle,
los dedos de mis pies ................................ my toes
desparramados. ................................ scattered.

Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid
de este cuerpo ................................ of this body
solamente espero ................................ I just hope
sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you
con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump." ♫
