'"La Bella Maria de mi Amor"
Not in English by Los Lobos, but by Antonio Banderas from "Mambo Kings"
Unless you listen to understand songs in their original tongue, they are quite humourous in their translation.
For example try to translate Lorcas' ?Es Verdad! into English!
It does not make sense. In Spanish, the poem is this:
?Ay, que trabajo me cuesta
quererte como te qiero,
Por tu amor me duele
el aire.
El corazon,
Y el sombrero.
Quien me compraria a mi
este cintillo que tengo
y esta tristeza de hilo blaco,
para el hacer pa?uelos?
?Ay, que trabajo me cuesta
quererte como te quiero!
The translation loses MOST of the passion incorporated in A language so full of feeling :
'Ah, what a task it is
to love you as much as I do
Because of your love,
the air,
my heart
and my hat pain me.
Who would buy from me,
This little belt, which I have,
And this sadness of white thread
of which handkerchiefs are made.
Ah, what task it is to love you
as much as I do!'
Well the poem in the translation is not so terrible. But in
Spanish, it is absolutely the sublime!!!
So much for the incompatibility of language, let alone people, Si?
Hmm...Oh Well!
Hasta Luego,
Grecia.
PS
I especially liked that video from La Casa de sette Mulheres.
Which a version of Te Extra?o is sung to by Luis Miguel. That was quite touching.
The title means in Portugese :The House of Seven Women.
That was quite lovely Garr...good choice!
Bueno, pues, adios! Que disfrutes la cancion; La Bella Maria.........!
