new music video for mi canción "El Otro Yo"

by the one and only José Asunción!
check out what Club Fonograma had to say about the video:
"This third audiovisual offering is a lot more personal. Four minutes before going into stage, a moment of excitement and nervousness, its nicely framed and aware of its depth, generous to its space and time and beautifully lighted. Enjoy. " - Club Fonograma September 20, 2009

"NOVIA DE SOLDADO"

PORQUE SOLA TE ESPERO, PERAS PARA QUIEN ESPERA
GUINDAS PARA LAS LINDAS, Y ARMADA DE PACIENCIA

OOOH

ESPERO COMO UNA PERA, QUE UNA NOCHE CUALQUIERA
PASES A BUSCARME, PARA LLEVARME AL CINE
O FESTEJAR, MI VIDA, EL FIN DE TANTA GUERRA Y TANTA VIDA PERDIDA
O FESTEJAR, MI VIDA, EL FIN DE TANTA GUERRA Y TANTA VIDA PERDIDA

PORQUE LLEGARA EL DIA
(TU ERES EL QUE QUIERO)

CUANDO VUELVAS TU SANO, NUNCA MAS SOLDADO
TU ESTARAS A MI LADO, PAZ Y AMOR ES LO QUE QUIERO
PARA MI AMOR, Y PARA MI, PARA MI MADRE, Y MI PAIS,
PARA LOS HIJOS DE TODOS AQUI, PARA LOS HIJOS DE LOS DE ALLI

Y ARMADITA DE PACIENCIA, YO SOY LA REINA DE LA CIENCIA
Y ARMADITA DE PACIENCIA, YO SOY LA REINA DE LA CIENCIA

PORQUE LLEGARA EL DIA
(TU ERES EL QUE QUIERO)
