Influenced by Hector Lavoe, Rubén Blades, Willie Colón, Ismael Rivera, Benny Moré. Hector Lago was raised by a single mother who worked as a seamstress from their East Harlem apartment. He swore he’d earn enough to give her rest, a promise that led him to a life working in the boiler rooms beneath the city. He’s been in an on-again, off-again relationship with the same woman, a paramedic named Marisol, since they were sixteen. His brand of salsa dura is forged in that pressure: the sound of the working-class Nuyorican heart, telling stories of love and labor from the engine room of New York City.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Marisol, soy yo… Estoy parado en la Ciento Tres,
con el celular quemándome la palma de la mano.
Mira, yo sé que es tarde, son casi las diez,
y este frío de noviembre no es para un drama de verano.
Pero el vapor se me acumula aquí en el pecho,
es una tubería que conozco y que va a reventar.

[Chorus]
Estamos dándole vueltas a la misma rosca gastada,
con este corazón que es una máquina tuerta.
Tú aprietas, yo aflojo, y al final no queda nada,
solo el chillido del metal contra la puerta.

[Verse 2]
Voy pateando la acera por la Lexington,
y el olor a pernil de la lechonera me recuerda a tu casa.
Me acuerdo de tus manos, de su precisión,
cuando me cosiste el uniforme, “pa’ que no te pase nada”.
Y con esa misma aguja me remiendas el alma,
pero esta noche, nena, el hilo no me alcanza.

[Chorus]
Estamos dándole vueltas a la misma rosca gastada,
con este corazón que es una máquina tuerta.
Tú aprietas, yo aflojo, y al final no queda nada,
solo el chillido del metal contra la puerta.

[Bridge]
Es que la presión del sótano se me trepa a la cabeza,
y te la tiro encima a ti, que eres mi única certeza.
Perdona la furia, mi amor, es que a veces no distingo
entre el ruido de la caldera y lo que siento un domingo.

[Soneo]
(Hector)
¡Oye, Marisol, esta tuerca ya no agarra!
(Coro)
¡Rosca gastada, no aprieta, no amarra!
(Hector)
¡Le doy y le doy con mi mano callosa!
(Coro)
¡Rosca gastada, no aprieta, no amarra!
(Hector)
¡Este amor es una junta que gotea, peligrosa!
(Coro)
¡Rosca gastada, no aprieta, no amarra!

[Outro]
¿Sabes qué? Olvídalo.
Te llamo después.
