SONGS: 
El Encarguito 
(#6 in our CD) 

Ya que escribiste del norte 
y te hacen falta muchas cosas
ahí te mando un encarguito 
cortesía de Doña Rosa

ojalá pasen la aduana 
y las compartas con mis tíos
y que al probarlas se olviden 
por un ratito del frío

te van los nacatamales
te va un chicharrón con yuca
una olla de curiles
tajaditas y montucas

te mando un buen chinamito
un atol y seis baleadas
te va un tapado olanchano
y sopa de capirotadas

Y OJALÁ PASEN LA ADUANA
Y QUE NO ANDEN CON PAPADAS
TE MANDO UNOS PLATANITOS
Y DOS LIBRAS DE CUAJADA

bolsitas con chipilínn
y unas hojas de pacaya
te mando una flor de izote
y un chilito que malaya

te va una sopa de jute
con ayote y con juniapa
empanadas de loroco
y de chascada un vino e´papa

Y OJALÁ …

un atol chuco y mistela
pan de ylema y pan de rosa
cocadas y colaciones
chiricoyas y melcochas

dulce de tapa y cachaza
mil confites coloridos
totopostes y semitas
leche de burra y batidos

Y OJALÁ ….

te mando un arroz con leche
alborotos y espumillas
una bolsa de alcitrones
tustacas y quesadillas

ayote en miel y torrejas
hojuelas y rapadura
panelas y zapotillos
tabletas y mascaduras




MIRÁ A HONDURAS 

(#5 in our CD) 

Que no te tapen los ojos 
ojo con la corrupción y la imconprension 
la indiferencia y la delincuencia 
que con frecuencia ninguno se encuentra en esta nación 
ponele mucha atención a esta canción de corazón 
es mas lo bueno que aquí tenemos 
mas los que queremos creemos en esta tierra 
es una bendición. 


Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
que esta es tu tierra 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
tienes que quererla 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
lalalalala.. lalalala.. lalalala…. 



Que no te tapen los ojos 
la deforestación y contaminación 
la pobreza injusticia y bajeza 
que con frecuencia ninguno se encuentra en esta nación 
ponele mucha atención a esta canción de corazón 
es mas la riqueza grandeza nobleza y mas la belleza 
que hay en esta tierra es una bendición 


Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
que esta es tu tierra 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
tienes que quererla 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
que esta es tu tierra 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
Mira ah honduras con otros ojos 
tienes que quererla 
descubrí que al mirarla con otros ojos vas a merecerla 
lalalalala.. lalalala.. lalalala…
