Avalanch - La cara oculta de la luna (The dark side of the moon)

This is a strange day, so It is time to music to cheer me up.

Another song by Avalanch: "La cara oculta de la luna" (The dark side of the moon)

As usual, here is a video:



And the lyric:

Austero y noble legado, / Austere and noble legacy;
sumido en la oscuridad, / plunged into darkness,
nada de ti han dejado, / nothing of you they have left;
tan solo esta pobreza, / just this poverty,
que te recuerda la verdad. / that remember you the truth.

Quisieras respirar / You would like to breathe
aquellos aires de libertad / those winds of freedom
que te quitaron por la fuerza / that they took you away by force
y no sabes donde están. / and you don't know where they are.

Profundas heridas te cubren / Peep wounds cover you
y negras brotan tus lagrimas, / and black your tears spring up,
motivos de tu alma / grounds of your soul
adornan hoy un triste cielo / adorn, today, a sad sky
qué de nuevo brillará. / what will shine again.

En honor a la verdad, / In honour of the truth,
 nos separan tantas cosas / so many things separate us
y nos unen tantas otras, / and many others join us,
y más nos uniran. / and more will join us.

Pueblo hermano, pueblo amigo / Brotherly people, friendly people
 no te des por vencido; / don't give you up;
 paz y libertad que te guíen a un digno final; / peace and freedom that guide you to a worthy end;
paz y libertad que iluminen tu rostro de vida, de vida. / peace and freedom that illuminate your face (full) of life, of life.

Sonrisa limpia, las manos sucias, / Clean smile, dirty hands,
de un alma sin conciencia, / of a soul without conscience
se llevaron tu esencia / took your essence away
a un pozo sin fondo, que nunca llegará. / to a bottomless well, that will never come.

No es un digno rival, le delata su alma negra / He is not a worthy rival, his black soul betray him
oculta tras un discurso que nadie cree ya. / hidden behind his speech, that nobody believes now.

Tiendo mi mano al hombre caído, / I help out my hand to fallen man,
entiendo cuánto ha sufrido. / I understand how much he has suffered.
Paz y libertad, que te guíen a un digno final; / Peace and freedom that guide you to a worthy end;
paz y libertad, que iluminen tu rostro de vida; /  peace and freedom that illuminate your face (full) of life.

If you find a mistake, please, advise me.

Lilith under the flowers (Avalanch - Bajo las flores - Under the flowers)

Today are going to meet a great band: AVALANCH

Nowadays this band is in a break (at least their fans hope that it was only so).

We do not like to write too much so you have to know something about them you have many options. For example:
Since this page is written in english we can see, for me, their best english song, from their last album (made by the hand of Luis and Romulo Royo) "Malefic Time Apocalypse". This song is "Lilith" and sounds in this way:



You can heard it with a best quality in YouTube, for example, if you want.

They have a lot of good songs, normally written in spanish, but in this last album they have demostrated that they can work in english too.

Another song that I like a lot is one about people do not usually talk. This song is: "Bajo las flores", a sweet-sweet ballad in memoriam of two friends of Alberto Rionda, death in an accident.

This is the song (from their album "Muerte y Vida"):



And here is the lyric (translated in the best way I can):

Noche, quedate aquí / Night, stay here
arrópame, no quiero dormir / Wrap up me, I do not want to sleep.
pregúntale al sol por qué su luz no brilla hoy / Ask to the sun why its light do not shine today
pregúntale al sol si sabe de estos versos / Ask to the sun if it knows about these verses.
Tenue luz quedate hoy aqui / Thin light stay here today
arrópame, no quiero estar así / Wrap up me, I do not want to be so
pregúntale al mar si ha visto dos estrellas hoy / Ask to the sea if it has seen two starts today
pregúntale al mar si sabe de estos versos /Ask to the sea if it know about these verses.
Si hubo una vez / If there was upon a time
que el cielo se tornó gris / That the sky becomes gray
la melodía me indicó a dónde ir / The melody show me where to go
y en mi memoría / and in my memory
os guardaré / I will keep you away
y, cuando no esté, ven a verme alguna vez / and, when I wasn't, come to see me sometime
bajo las flores / under the flowers

Vida, efimera y fugaz / Life, mayfly and flying,
Muerte, oscura y fría / Death, dark and cold,
guardad esta canción hasta el fin de los días / keep this song until the end of time.
llevadsela al sol, que conozca estos versos / Take it to the sun, that it knows this verses.

Sueño gris, de horror y soledad, / Gray dream, of horror and loneliness,
siento miedo, mismo así siento paz / I feel fear, as I feel peace,
por qué aplaudir a quienes ya no están aquí / Why to applaud to whom is not here yet
por qué no aplaudir cuando estaban con vida / Why not to applaud when they were alive
Si hubo una vez / If there was upon a time
que el cielo se tornó gris / That the sky becomes gray
la melodía me indicó a dónde ir / The melody show me where to go
y en mi memoría / and in my memory
os guardaré / I will put you away
y, cuando no esté, ven a verme alguna vez /and, when I wasn't, come to see me sometime
bajo las flores / under the flowers

Goodnight fellows ;P
  
PS: in spanish we use "arropar" with the meaning of "wrap up" and with the meaning of "tuck in". Both meanings are possible in this song, but probably are both at the same time

PS(2):  "until the end of time". Actually, they say "until the end of the days", but the meaning is "until the end of time".
