I used to say that there was no good salsa in english



Let's make up
Lebrón Brothers
Hot Stuff-1980


They used to love that we once had
it's frankly let's get it back
all we need is time to see us through

It's no a problem except for made us grow
you are the daytime of my life
you are the moon the shines my night
let's no break up nooo

I try my best to please you and you're retreat
let's no break up
let's make up
without you
a little land for fantasy
i would never see the sunlight upon we

Is it true that you don't love me?

they used to love that we once had
its frankly let's get it back
all we need is time to see us through

it's no a problem except for made us grow
you are the daytime of my life
you are the moon the shines my night

let's no break up nooo

I try my best to please you and you're retreat
let's no break up
let's make up
without you
a little land for fantasy
I would never see the sunlight upon we

is it true that you don't love me?
since you've been gone

I spend long and sleepless night
one dream, if you come back to me
can you see it?

Última canción a olvidar de los Lebrón



Cuídala
Hermanos Lebrón
Cuídala-1989

Me paso la noche mirando tu almohada
y siento el calor de tu piel cerca a mi
el aire contiene el olor del perfume
que usaste la noche en que te conocí.

Aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que se debe atesorar
aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que es imposible de olvidar.

Me acuerdo tu pelo color de la noche
en mi cara, mi pecho, siento acariciar
como me atormenta, maldigo aquel día
el maldito día que te hice llorar.

Aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que se debe atesorar
aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que es imposible de olvidar.

Cuando tu te fuiste de un sueño desperté
y aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que se debe atesorar
aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que es imposible de olvidar.

No me da pena pedir que regrese a mi
porque señora que soy nada
soy nada sin ti.

Un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que se debe atesorar.

Las noches las paso pensando en ti mi amor
tu boca , tus ojos, tu risa, tu pelo, tu voz
y yo creo que así no puedo seguir
te suplico que vuelvas a mi
no me dejes sufriendo asi.

Te juro que aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que se debe atesorar
te juro que aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
y ahora sé que es imposible de olvidar.

Te pido que regreses a mí
(un amor así se da una vez en la vida)
porque soy nada sin tí
(se debe atesorar)
aprendí que
un amor así se da una vez en la vida
es imposible de olvidar.

Aprendí que
ahora sé que
aprendí que
ahora sé que.

Viví sin concerte, puedo vivir sin ti.



Total
Bienvenido Granda

Pretendiendo humillarme pregonaste
El haber desdeñado mi pasión
Y fingiendo no dar fe imaginaste
Que muriría de desesperación
Total si me hubieras querido
Ya me hubiera olvidado
De tu querer
Ya ves que fué tiempo perdido
El que tú has meditado
Para ahora decirme
Que no puede ser
Pensar que llegar a quererte
Es creer que la muerte se pudiera evitar
Total si no tengo tus besos
No me muero por eso
Ya yo estoy cansado
De tanto besar
Viví sin conocerte
Puedo vivir sin ti

Bolero hecho blasfemia. Favorito



Eres todo para mi
Willie Rosario canta Frankie Figueroa
Álbum: El Bravo Soy Yo-1963

No le envidio al cielo su belleza
ni le pido al mundo que me de riqueza
vivo muy conforme en la pobreza
mientras tenga el placer de tu presencia

Si del calor del sol hoy me privaran
yo prefiero tener el de tus brazos
si la luz de la luna me quitaran
me ilumina mejor la de tus ojos

Tu eres la bendición que mi alma espera
la más grande ilusión de mis anhelos
y muchas veces pienso en la locura
que si no hubiera Dios mi Dios tu fueras

(Vía F.)

I'll take the risk while I'm smiling. Nevertheless, one of us misread.



Misread
Kings of Convenience
Album : Riot On an Empty Street-2004

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

Lavoe meets Colombian Vallenato?





La Verdad
Hector Lavoe
Comedia-1978

La Verdad, vallenato por Freddy Molina

Palmieri meets the Beatles?





Una Rosa Española
Eddie Palmieri
The Sun of Latin Music-1975

Una rosa española, es un danzón moderno que luego se transforma en montuno que hace renacer el juego alegre palmeriano, con el digno alboroto de trompetas, saxos y trombones.

Con fracciones de la letra de "You never give your money" de los Beatles.

YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY
YOU ONLY GIVE ME YOUR FUNNY PAPER
AND IN THE MIDDLE OF NEGOTIATIONS YOU BREAK DOWN!

"You already know how this will end"




How it Ends
DeVotchKa
How it Ends-2004

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast.
Gonna put it to the test.
You want it to be blessed.
And in your heart,
You know it to be true,
You know what you gotta do.
They all depend on you.
And you already know.
Yeah, you already know how this will end.
There is no escape,
From the slave-catchers' songs.
For all of the loved ones gone.
Forever's not so long.
And in your soul,
They poked a million holes.
But you never lettem show.
C'mon it's time to go.
And
You
Already know.
Yeah, you already know
How this will end.
Now you've seen his face.
And you know that there's a place,
In the sun,
For all that you've done,
For you and your children.
No longer shall you need.
You always wanted to believe,
Just ask and you'll receive,
Beyond your wildest dreams.
And
You
Already know.
Yeah, you already know
How this will end.
You already know (You already know)
You already know (you already know)
You already love will end.

"The future's been sold"




The Universal
Blur
The Great Escape-1995

This is the next century
Where the universals free
You can find it anywhere
Yes the future's been sold
Every night we're gone
And to Karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
Though the words are wrong
It really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Just let them go
No one here is alone
Satellites in every home
Yes the universals here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well here's your lucky day
It really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Just let them go
Well it really really really could happen
Yes it really really really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Just let them go
Just let them go
Just let them go

"Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad"




ON MELANCHOLY HILL
Gorillaz
Plastic Beach 2010

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me
