Tranquila (English: Calm Down) is an unidentified cover of Tranquila by musician Javier García.
History[]
On September 20th, 2024, YouTube user NosiaDelia uploaded a video to YouTube with the title "Unidentified Song ("Tranquila")", in the description, he wrote:
"This song was recorded in Veracruz, Mexico. The year of recording is unknown, and it is not possible to determine which radio station it is from. The tape belonged to my grandpa, and it is more likely that my uncle recorded it."
A day later, on September 21, 2024, Delia uploaded the entire cassette to her old main channel. Now in the description she put:
"My grandfather has a collection of cassettes, some original, some recorded, like this one. He gave me almost all of them just to test out a recorder he'd given me, but one of those cassettes seemed to have been recorded.
0:00 - Stars On 45 - Stars On 45 (Original 12 Inch Version)
1:29 - Al Corley - Square Rooms
5:10 - Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have FunApparently there is a change of season here, this being completely unknown.
10:19 - ??? - Tranquila
13:39 - Mestizzo - Dale pa'lla
18:08 - Illegales - El Tranqui El Tranqui (Mix Original)
22:05 - Thaila - Ponle Remedio"
At minute 9:38 of the full cassette, one of the voices from the previous radio announcements of the song's recording says:
"The 2016 pre-tax and drinking water collection period has been extended for a few more days."
This confirms that the recording was made in 2016.
On April 30th, 2025, SodaRev! contacted an owner of the Tranquila Maxi-CD believing it might be the House Mix. They refuted this, stating that it might be a Merengue mix instead.
Theories[]
There are people who say it is a remix likely due to the noticeable change in musical style.
Lyrics[]
-que encontremos, nos gustará
Lo que sea que encontremos, nos gustará
Lo que sea que encontremos, nos gustará
Para de correr, tranquila
Sígueme a mí, tranquila
Deja de mover, tranquila
No se terminarán tus pilas
Para de correr, tranquila
Sígueme a mí, tranquila
Deja de mover, tranquila
No se terminarán tus pilas (¡yeah!)
Despacio, con ritmo bueno,
Así se llega a la cima,
Suave, suavecito, no vayas con tanta prisa
Observa todo el terreno, súbete a una montaña
Quédate un ratito, y después te bajas
Quédate un ratito, y después te bajas
Quédate un ratito, y después te bajas
Tranquila!
Ahora vienen las trompetas!
Ay!
Sigue
Para de correr, tranquila
Sígueme a mi, tranquila
Deja de mover, tranquila
No se terminarán tus pilas
Para de correr, tranquila
Sígueme a mí, tranquila
Deja de mover, tranquila
No se terminarán tus pilas (¡yeah!)
-whatever we find, we'll like it
Whatever we find, we'll like it
Whatever we find, we'll like it
Stop running, calm down
Follow me, calm down
Stop moving, calm down
Your batteries won't run out
Stop running, calm down
Follow me, calm down
Stop moving, calm down
Your batteries won't run out (yeah!)
Slowly, at a good pace,
That's how you get to the top,
Gentle, gently, don't go in such a hurry
Observe the whole terrain, climb a mountain
Stay a little while, and then get off
Stay a little while, and then get off
Stay a little while, and then get off
Calm down!
Now the trumpets are coming!
Oh!
Keep going
Stop running, calm down
Follow me, calm down
Stop moving, calm down
Your batteries won't run out
Stop running, calm down
Follow me, calm down
Stop moving, calm down
Your batteries won't run out (yeah!)
