✍🏻 LYRICS \u0026 COMPOSITION BY EME LATINA (2026) ------------ ABOUT: ------------ Song written for The Tumbao Breakdown Challenge. 🎸 Heavy riffs 🥁 Salsa rhythm 🔥 Groove \u0026 breakdowns 🌴 Latin percussion energy This song is about the wisdom of growing older and realizing that happiness isn't always found in the next destination, achievement, or dream you're chasing. After years of searching outward, you might discover that the peace and fulfillment you were looking for might only be found within. (English translation provided below) ------------ Spanish LYRICS: ------------ [verse] Pasó el tiempo sin yo haber llenado el vacío, persiguiendo tonterias, confundiendo movimiento con camino Dicen que el que mucho corre se olvida a dónde va; yo crucé medio mundo entero sin saber qué iba a buscar... [chorus] Donde está lo que busco, lo que yo busco? Ahora es que lo vengo a entender; tantas vueltas dando al mismo círculo, sin saber lo que vine a perder... Aquí está lo que busco, lo que yo busco, escondido donde nunca miré; corrí tan lejos de mí mismo, que me tomó años volver. [verse 2] Me dijeron "mientras más tienes es mejor", y les creí por un tiempo; pero el río nunca se llena tomando agua del desierto... Llené mis labios de promesas, llené mis ojos de ambición; pero la inquietud siguio intacta cuando no supe alimentar la ilusión... [chorus] Donde está lo que busco, lo que yo busco? Ahora es que lo vengo a entender; tantas vueltas dando al mismo círculo, sin saber lo que vine a perder... Aquí está lo que busco, lo que yo busco, escondido donde nunca miré; corrí tan lejos de mí mismo, que me tomó años volver... [bridge breakdown to outro] Hay quien muere de sed parado frente al mar... Me tomo tiempo aprender y dejarme de aferrar El pez busca el océano sin saber que vive en él, y el hombre busca su destino preguntándole a otro quién es ------------ English LYRICS: ------------ [verse] Time has gone by, without ever filling that emptiness; chasing foolish things; mistaking movement for direction. They say those who run to escape forget where they're going; I crossed half the world without knowing what I was searching for... [chorus] Where is what I'm looking for, what I've been looking for? Only now do I finally see; I spent so long running in circles, not knowing what it cost me... Here is what I'm looking for, what I've been looking for, hidden where I never thought to look; I ran so far away from myself that it took me years to return. [verse 2] They told me "the more you have, the better," and I believed them for a while; but a river never fills itself from desert water... I filled my lips with promises, filled my eyes with ambition; but the restlessness remained in me when I didn't know how to nourish my vision... [chorus] Where is what I'm looking for, what I've been looking for? Only now do I finally see; I spent so long running in circles, not knowing what it cost me... Here is what I'm looking for, what I've been looking for, hidden where I never thought to look; I ran so far away from myself that it took me years to return... [bridge breakdown to outro] There are those who die of thirst standing in front of water; It took me time to learn and to be less stubborn. A fish searches for the ocean without knowing it already lives in it, like a man searches for his destiny by asking someone else who he is in it. ------------ DETAILS: ------------ Challenge hosted by Midnight Tee Challenge inspiration: Puerto Rican band, PUYA.
