Sal, ilumina tu vida
Todo el cielo aplastándote
Dime que harás (inténtalo)
Ilumina ese amor
Antes que se vaya
Algo siempre te entristece
¿Qué pasa contigo?
¿Qué pasa contigo?
Déjalo si quieres continuar
No ocultes tu alma al sol
Tienes una vida preciosa
¿De qué sirve si solo muerte
Sobre media ciudad?
¿Qué pasa?
¿Qué pasa contigo?
¿Qué pasa contigo, mi hermano?
¿Qué pasa contigo?
Escucha a tu propia voz
Salva tu amor
¿Qué pasa contigo?
Antes que se vaya
Si todo va bien
¿Qué pasa contigo?
Mírate a ti mismo
Enfréntalo
¿Qué pasa contigo, mi hermano?
Ven, animate
¿Qué pasa contigo?
The lyrics to Gorillaz's song Latin Simone tell the story of someone named "hermano", or brother, who seems to be going through a difficult time. The singer encourages him to let go of whatever is holding him back and to find the light in his life. The weight of the world seems to be crushing him, and the singer asks him what he plans to do about it. The message is clear: shine a light on the love in your life before it slips away.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that even when things are going well, there can be a persistent sadness or unease that lingers. The singer urges the brother to face this feeling head-on and to listen to his own voice. The final verse encourages the brother to take a look at himself and confront whatever is troubling him. There is an invitation to come alive and to find joy again.
Overall, "Latin Simone" is a song about finding light in the darkness and persevering through difficult times. It's a reminder that even when life seems unbearable, there is always the possibility of hope and love.

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know whack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get undercounted 'cause you're damned and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got her kissing, 'cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like ass cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc.
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
Don't stop, get it, get it
Peep how your captain's in it (feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! (Feel good)
