Luis Miguel - No me fio (I don't trust)

Some years ago I felt like listening to Luis Miguel due to he is one of the favourites singers of one of my cousins. Actually I have to admit that the change from Metallica to Luis Miguel is strange ... but his album "Nada es igual..." (Nothing is the same...), the first one of him that I listened to, liked me.

Then was the turn of "El concierto" (The concert) and his albums of "Boleros" (Romance, Segundo romance, etc.) Now, I don't listen almost nothing of him but I wanted to add at least one of his songs and the elected is ("tachan, tachan"): No me fio (I don't trust)

No me fío jamas de las miradas, / I don't trust of gazes ever,
de los brazos que abrazan sin razón; / of arms that hug without any reason;
no me gustan las frases regaladas / I don't like the given phrases
que me llenan de nada el corazón. / that fill of nothing the heart.

No me fío de aquel que me conoce, / I don't trust of those that know me,
ni siquiera recuerdo bien su voz; / I don't remember even his voice;
de esa niña que dice haber besado, / of that little girl that says having kissed,

 esos besos que jamas me dio. / those kisses that she never gave me.

No me puedo fiar, el miedo me ha hecho frío, / I can't trust, the fear has made me cold,
compréndeme, si ya ni en mi confío. / understand me, if I neither trust in me.

Mi soledad, tal vez la adulación, / My loneliness, maybe the flattery,
me han roto el corazón / have broken me the heart
y sin tu hastío, no me fío. / and without your disgust, I don't trust.

No me fío de aquel que no me mira, / I don't trust of that one that don't look me,
que tendrá contra mí su corazón. / what will have his heart against me.

Me da miedo entregarme a tus caricias / I am afraid of giving me to your caresses

 pues me han hecho tanto daño, amor. / because they have done me so much harm, love.

No me fío de aquel que hace favores / I don't trust of that one that does favours
y presume de hacerlos por amor; / and presumes of doing them for love;
no confío en aquel que vende amores, / I don't trust of that one that sells loves,
el amor jamas es un favor. / love never is a favour.

No me puedo fiar, el miedo me ha hecho frío, / I can't trust, the fear has made me cold,
compréndeme, si ya ni en mi confío. / understand me, if I neither trust in me.

Mi soledad, tal vez la adulación, / My loneliness, maybe the flattery,
me han roto el corazón / have broken me the heart
y sin tu hastío ... / and without your disgust...

No me puedo fiar, el miedo me ha hecho frío, / I can't trust, the fear has made me cold,
compréndeme, si ya ni en mi confío. / understand me, if I neither trust in me.

No me puedo fiar pues tras la vanidad / I can't trust because after the vanity
llega la verdad, luego el vacío; no me fío. / the truth comes, then the vacuum, I don't trust.

...

No me puedo fiar, el miedo me ha hecho frío, / I can't trust, the fear has made me cold,
compréndeme, si ya ni en mi confío. / understand me, if I neither trust in me.

No me puedo fiar pues tras la vanidad / I can't trust because after the vanity
llega la verdad, luego el vacío; no me fío. / the truth comes, then the vacuum, I don't trust.

Rumba tres - Ya no te puedo querer ( I can't love you anymore )

This group is the oldest one I remember. Probably I was about 6 years old. I still have got the cassette of my father, the same cassette that my father used to play in our old car, a Seat 124. I still keep this cassette with much love, thinking in better times full of innocence, thinking in what could be and is not.

 And here is the song:

Ya no te puedo querer, / I can't love you anymore,

mi cariño se acabó, / my love finished off,

lo quemó tu falsedad, / it was burnt for your falseness,

tus palabras de papel. / your words of paper.

 Ya no te puedo querer, (ah, ah,) / I can't love you anymore,

mi cariño se acabó, (ah, ah,) / my love finished off,

la tristeza del ayer, (ah, ah,) / the sadness of yesterday,

el tiempo se la llevó. / the time carried it away.

Te dí, (te dí, te dí,) / I gave you

mil noches de amor, (te dí, te dí,) / a thousand night of love,

te dí, (te dí, te dí,) / I gave you

mil besos en flor. / a thousand of kisses flowering.

Te dí, (te dí, te dí,) / I gave you,

Te dí lo mejor, (te dí, te dí,) / I gave you the best,

Te dí, (te dí, te dí,) / I gave you

todo el mundo de color. / the whole world of colour.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor, / You know the reason of my lost love,
si ayer te daba igual, hoy no lo pidas. / if yesterday you didn't mind it, today don't ask it to me.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor, / You know the reason of my lost love,

aquello que sufrí, tu llorarás. / that what I suffered, you will cry.

<Repeat all again>

Ya no te puedo querer,

mi cariño se acabó,

lo quemó tu falsedad,

tus palabras de papel.

 Ya no te puedo querer, (ah, ah,)

mi cariño se acabó, (ah, ah,)

la tristeza del ayer, (ah, ah,)

el tiempo se la llevó.

Te dí, te dí, (te dí, te dí,)

mil noches de amor, (te dí, te dí,)

te dí, (te dí, te dí,)

mil besos en flor.

Te dí, (te dí, te dí,)

Te dí lo mejor, (te dí, te dí,)

Te dí, (te dí, te dí,)

todo el mundo de color.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor,

si ayer te daba igual, hoy no lo pidas.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor,

aquello que sufrí, tu llorarás.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor,

si ayer te daba igual, hoy no lo pidas.

Ya sabes la razón de mi perdido amor,

aquello que sufrí, tu llorarás.

<Repeat fading...>

Joaquin Sabina - Siete crisantemos (seven mums)

One song from Joaquin Sabina: Siete crisantemos (seven chrysanthemums).

Lyric (more or less translated):

Si alguna vez he dado más de lo que tengo / If sometime I have given more than I have

el asesino sabe más de amor que el poeta / the murderer knows more of love than the poet.

y el cielo cada vez está más lejos del mar. / and the sky is increasingly far away from the sea.

Lo bueno de los años es curan heridas, / The good thing about years is that heal wounds,
lo malo de los besos es que crean adicción; / the bad thing about kisses is that create addiction,
ayer quiso matarme la mujer de mi vida, / yesterday the woman of my life tried to kill me,
apretaba el gatillo... cuando se despertó. / she was pulling the trigger... when she awoke.

Con siete espinas de la flor del adulterio, / With seven thorns from the flower of adultery,
siete carreteras delante de mi; / seven roads in front of me;
siete crisantemos en el cementerio, / seven mums in the cemetery,
siete veces no, siete veces si. / seven times "no", seven times "yes".

Chorus:

Me enamoro de todo, me conformo con nada; / I fell in love with everything, I settle for nothing;
 un aroma, un abrazo, un pedazo de pan  / an aroma , a hug, a piece of bread 
y lo que buenamente me den por la balada / and that what could be given to me for the ballad
de la vida vrivada de Fulano de Tal. / of the private life of Mr. So and So.

Siete crisantemos en el cementerio, / Seven mums in the cemetery,
siete despedidas en una estación; / seven farewells in a station,
siete crisantemos en el cementerio, / seven mums in the cemetery,
siete cardenales en el corazón. / seven bruises in the heart.

Chorus again.

Baron Flies over England (Barón Rojo - Tierra de nadie - No man's land)

Maybe they are not flying as years before but they are still flying.

Recently they have made a new album: Tommy Baron, a full cover of Tommy (the fourth album of The Who: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_%28album%29 ).

I have not listen to it yet :/

But never mind, today we are to remember an old great song. Other day, maybe we will be able to talk about this album and about other great songs or albums of this band.

This is the song: Tierra de nadie ( No man's land)

A un lado tu odio, al otro tu amor, / In one hand your hate, in the other hand your love.
la duda infinita, el viejo dolor / The infinite doubt, the old pain,
y mientras recelas del bien y del mal / and while you distrust the good and the bad
por un sumidero la vida se va / through a drain the life goes away

nadie da nada por nada, hay que pagar / Nobody gives anything for nothing, you should pay.

Devuelve el espejo tu imagen fugaz / The mirror gives you back your flying image

y no estás seguro de tu identidad / and you are not sure about your identity
tu nombre no existe. dejaste el redil  / Your name doesn't exist, you left the fold

y en tierra de nadie tendrás que vivir / and no man's land you will have to live

Nadie te acompañará allí, nadie,  / Nobody will go with you there, nobody,

y recuerda que no tendrás un guía, / and remember that you will not have a guide

no esperes protección, ni compasión. / do not hope to have protection neither compassion.

Tierra de nadie, obscuridad,  / No man's land, darkness,

sin rumbo fijo debes vagar, / without aimlessly you should roam.
pero piensa que ahora eres libre / But think that now you are free
No perteneces a una facción, / You don't belong to a faction

no crees en dogmas de religión, / You don't believe in dogmas of religion.
lo mas probable será que creas solo en ti, / probably you will only believe in yourself,

en tu propia fuerza. / in your own strength.

No crees en banderas, / You don't believe in flanges,

prefieres luchar por la madre tierra, / You prefer to fight for the mother earth,

por la humanidad / for the humanity,
no cavas trincheras en donde vivir, / you don't dig trenches into where to live.

ni crees en consignas por las que morir. / nor you believe in slogans which die for.

No crees en partidos, / You don't believe in parties,

es triste saber que gana el que gane tu vas a perder, / It's sad to know that whoever wins you will lose,
no crees en promesas que no cumplirán, / You don't believe in promises that they will not keep.

los falsos mesías te engañarán. / the false messiahs will trick you.

Estás en tierra de nadie ya, / You are already in no man's land.
en un sombrío lugar, / In a dark place,
entre dos bandos que al atacar / Between two faction that when they attack
te atacan a ti, no puedes huir / they are attacking you, you can't run away,
irán a por ti. / they will go for you.

No escucharán tu predicción / They will not listen to your prediction
de una herencia letal, / about a lethal heritage.
pero dirán "tiene razón" / But they will say "He is right"
cuando quizá sea tarde ya. / When, maybe, it was late.

Probably there were too many wrongs in the translation so... :S

Here is the song. Enjoy it :)

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:

• Official page
• Wikipedia (english version)
• Facebook

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".

WarCry - El amor de una madre (the love of a mother)

Time to talk about one of the best bands of my small "country": WarCry

Do you want to know something about them. Listen, then, one of the best beautiful balads of the spanish metal ever:

"El amor de una madre" (The love of a mother): 

I will try to translate the lyric in the best way I know.

Before anything else, you have to know that this story is based in a real story (one of the many) that takes place about the year 2004.

This is the original and translated lyric:

Mírales... sólo un ciego no puede ver  / See them... only a blind can't see 

las palabras de amor a través de su mirada.  / the words of love through their gaze.
El dolor atenaza el jóven corazón.  / The pain... grips his young heart 

Ella le da su amor, pero eso no le basta...  / She gives him her love, but that is not enough for him.
 

Y le pidió que acabara pronto con todo el dolor / And he asked her that she finish soon with all the pain

que su alma aguantaba.  / that his soul could bear 

Él decidió que la madre que una vez vida le dió,  / He decided that the mother that one time gave him the life
 ahora se la quitara.  / now takes it away.

El dolor también era su dolor,   / The pain was also her pain,

sin poder ayudar a un hijo que se ahogaba...  / without being able to help to his son that he was drowning 

Decidió, sin pensar en ley o en Dios,  / She decided, without thinking in any law or God 

sólo una razón: su hijo la necesitaba.  / Only a reason, her son needed her.
 

Le acompañó hasta el cielo.  / She went with him to the heaven.

De la mano le llevó; el dolor amainaba...   / She took him by the hand; the pain was dyng down...
 Él la miró y, apretándole la mano, sonrió.  / He looks her and, holding her hand, smiled.
 Su vida se apagaba...  / His life was extinguished...

 Se la juzgó: ni el jurado ni la gente comprendió lo que ella intentaba...   / She was judged: neither jury nor people understood what she was trying.
 No hay compasión.  / There is not compassion
 La llamaban asesina y , en prision,  / She was called assassin and, in prison,
 una madre lloraba... / one mother was crying.

This song is so, so beautiful.... :')

You can know more of WarCry in internet, it is not necesary I repeat it again ;)

PS.
If I am not wrong this is the case (or one of the cases) that inspired the song: http://joseluisperez.blogspot.com.es/2006/02/eutanasia-en-francia.html
