Leoni Torres has once again captured the hearts of many with his latest song, “La Cita,” a piece filled with romance and emotion. This release appears to subtly address the recent comments made by David Calzado, the director of La Charanga Habanera. Despite the controversy, the artist from Camagüey remains unruffled by such disputes.
“After all these years, I’m still here, betting on romance and lyrics that convey emotions during these challenging times,” the singer wrote on Instagram as he announced the release of his newest music video on YouTube.
Amidst the uproar sparked by La Charanga Habanera's director, who boldly claimed that "without David Calzado, Leoni Torres would not have existed," the “Me quedo contigo” singer chose to respond in the best way he knows: through music that touches the soul.
Just a few days ago, the seasoned leader of the Cuban group stirred social media after asserting during an interview with YouTuber Jesús Cazorla that Leoni Torres “arrived like a country boy” to La Charanga. However, his fans were quick to defend him.

Through sweet and romantic verses, Leoni reaffirms the path that has cemented his place as one of the most beloved singer-songwriters among Cuban audiences both on and off the island.
“Romance has always inspired my songwriting, and here comes another production filled with it,” he also stated on the video platform, accompanying the release with a beautiful clip.
Below are the lyrics and the music video for Leoni Torres’ enchanting song “La Cita,” which captivates from start to finish:
“La Cita”
I envy that moon that follows you everywhere.
How it watches you silently, wishing to be it to care for you.
I feel jealous of the rain that pours over you.
I wish to be your late-night thoughts and your morning coffee.
Oh, let me feel like a fortunate man waking up next to you.
I can be your desires, your craziness, your sins,
your eternal lover.
I’ve dressed up nicely if you agree to a date,
lit a couple of candles for good luck.
Called the doctor to see if this feeling subsides,
he recommended keeping you close.
That’s why I have a ring here, in case you say yes.
For a honeymoon, we'll head to Paris,
to bathe you in red wine, we’ll make it different.
Oh, let me feel like a fortunate man just being by your side.
I can be your desires, your craziness, your sins,
your eternal lover.
Your eternal lover.
Let me offer you a life with me,
with all my heart I ask,
being just friends isn’t enough.
I can be your desires, your craziness, your sins,
your eternal lover.
