Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio

So I am a sucker for a good choral arrangement of... anything, really, and sometimes I've had a song in choir that I love. Obviously, you never hear these on the radio, and it's kind of sad because it's amazing music and the only way people are ever going to hear it is if they hear a choir do it. So I want to share this song with you all right now. The mixed choir at Coe did this for Homecoming I think my junior year? Anyway. It was beautiful and I found this beautiful version of it on YouTube. Thank god for YouTube, you can find anything.

Here are the lyrics, since they're in Spanish:


Your hands are my caress
my daily reminders
I love you because your hands
work for justice

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

your eyes are my spell
against a cursed day
I love you for your gaze
that looks and plants the future

your mouth that is yours and mine
your mouth doesn’t lie
I love you because your mouth
knows how to shout rebellion

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

and for your open face
and your wanderer’s footstep
and your weeping for the world
because you are of the people I love you.

and because love is not a halo
nor morality tale
and because we are a couple
that knows it is not alone

I love you in my paradise
which is to say that in my ideal country
people live happily
without even having permission

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

That's a really rough translation I found online, but I think you kind of get the point. The music is by Alberto Favero and the lyrics are a poem by Mario Benedetti. If you're interested, google. I'm not a teacher yet.
