The official description of the album tell us…

One year after the release of “Principios”, Cepeda offers an exceptional re-release version of his first album, now titled «Nuestros Principios». And it is exceptional indeed as it includes 9 new songs, a new package of music for his fans. Cepeda could release a new album but he prefers to put together the large setlist that he manages on his short career for fans to enjoy it on a single album.

In one year, Cepeda has managed releasing an album and keep it 5 weeks in a row as the most selled album in Spain, to be awarded with a Golden Record and a Platinum Record for his first single “Esta Vez”, and achieving a dozen sold-out concerts on his first solo tour, ‘Principios Tour’.

The is also a vynil version of the album.

Lyrics

Below you can find the English lyrics of all 9 new songs. These are adaptations of the original lyrics that, most of the time, it is impossible to translate exactly from Spanish to English. We format de lyrics as they are write down on the official album booklet.

Mi Reino (My Kingdom)

I can feel like a giant. The main character of this tale. The King of this savage Kingdom. You make a Universe out of a verse. Slowly, time goes by slowly with you. With you everytime is the moment to make colours out of the gazes. And you, the one that knows where I sank. The one that save me without a wheel. And we look at each other face to face. And I want to wake up like yesterday. Burning every curve of your skin. Ending without a scratch. Laughting between kisses. And I want to remeber you as yesterday. Naked with my backhand clothes. You burn down my kingdom. You are my Universe. I dare you to make this night last forever. That our story would be legend. To be your slave and you, my queen. Repeat.

Fuimos Vida (We Were Life)

Maybe I could stop time. To have only a few minutes to tell you what I feel. And even if you are not here, the “exit” don’t hurt anymore. Because nobody knows how beatiful is the moment when you write down life. We were two colours, but never gray. If anytime they ask if all ended I will answer that a heart never dies. No, don’t let your way of look at me fade away. And the one that looks at you now can do it with the door open because I don’t see anything anymore. I will ask you that you don’t do it. That your way of hugging me lasts forever. Ant that your kisses and caresses don’t fall out because they are life for the one that have them. For the one that have them. Maybe we trusted the rest of the world that, from a image, create their own freedom and belived that it was their own story. That our shadows merged but it wasn’t the same sun. We were two colours but never gray. Repeat. If anytime they ask if we were two (people) I will answer that there was only one heart. No, don’t let your way of look at me fade away. And the one that looks at you now can do it with the door open because I don’t see anything anymore. I will ask you that you don’t do it. That your way of hugging me lasts forever. Ant that your kisses and caresses don’t fall out because they are life for the one that have them. For the one that have them

More than Nothing

Listen,
it is not necesary that this time we tuck each other
and you wake up inside this room.
And I don’t know how, if we run out of hot water how can it burn again

Listen,
it is not necessary that this night we say anything more.
The kisses tell the truth
that one day we breathed you and I.
Tell me.

We have one minute left to love,
to stop the countdown.
Eighty-nine (minutes) will made up every morning.

And no.
Not today.
I close the door and I resist you leaving.
And that you talk to me looking me in the eyes.
And we dance with the pillow.
If you stay I will put the sky down on our bed.

And no.
I deny the feeling that the moon is not enough.
That you don’t blow away the castle I talk you about.
And we dance with the pillow.
If you stay I will put the sky down on our bed.
And that is more than nothing…
