Day 3: Makes me Happy
The Getaway People - Six Pacs
It's just the perfect summer song, vacations, road trips, hanging out with friends, cold bear.... all the things I long for now with the cold winter and exams :(
Day 4: Makes me Sad
Here's the translation:
In April it was/Back in April
Sabes hermano lo triste que estoy / Do you know brother how sad I am?
se me ha hecho vuelo de trinos y sangre la voz / it has made (me/my) trills flight and my voice, blood
se me ha hecho pedazos, mi sueño mejor / my best dream has turned to shreads
se ha muerto mi niño, mi niño, mi niño /my child has died, my child, my child,
mi niño, hermano. /my child, brother.
No pudo llenarse la boca de voz /he couldn't fill his mouth of voice
apenas vacío el vientre de mi dulce amor /as he emptied the belly of my sweet love.
Enorme y azul la vida se le dió /Big and blue, life was given to him
no pudo tomarla, no pudo tomarla /he couldn't take it, he couldn't take it
de tan pequeño. /being that little.
Yo le había hecho una blanca canción / I'd made him a white song
del amor entre una nube y un pez volador /about the love between a cloud and a flying fish
lo soñé corriendo abrigado en sudor / I dreamt of him running, warm in sweat,
las mejillas llenas, las mejillas llenas / his cheeks full, cheeks full,
de sol y dulzor. /of sun and sweetness
[Coro/Chorus:]
Era en Abril el ritmo tibio / Back in April the warm rythm
de mi chiquito que danzaba / of my little child who danced
dentro del vientre, un prado en flor /inside the belly, a meadow in blossom
era su lecho y el ombligo, y el ombligo / it was his bed and the navel, the navel
y el ombligo el sol. /the navel his sun
No busques hermano el camino mejor /don't search for a better road, brother
que ya tengo el alma muda de pedirle a Dios /for my soul has already become mute, praying to God
que hacemos ahora mi dulzura y yo / what do my sweetness and I do know?
con dos pechos llenos, con dos pechos llenos / with two breasts filled,breasts filled
de leche y dolor. /of milk and p
[Coro/Chorus]
Estamos pensando sería mejor / We are thinking... it would be best
el marchar los tres el marchar los tres /for three to leave, for three to leave
que quedarnos dos. /than two to stay
[Coro/Chorus]
I just translated it, and kind of fast, so it's bound to have like a zillion mistakes :P... So it's basically about a couple and the loss of their child, and how life was taken from him so fast... and how they feel like it would be better for the three of them to leave this earth, instead of remaining here just the two of them, without their child. Do I need to say anything else to explain why it makes me sad??
Last but not least...
Day 5: Reminds me of someone
This songs reminds me so much of my father (who is, thank god) very much alive and sitting five feet away from me. It's just a song that we always listened on the way to school. He'd always be the one driving os there, so it was "our moment" (my brother, my sister-later on-, my father and I)...Although it may not only be this song... Where Do The Children Play, The Sound of Silence (Simon & Gurfunkle), and many songs that were on a cassette
