I’ve created a Vimeo account and have uploaded a video! The video is of my dad helping Zoe dance with a little girl. The little girl just ran up to her, grabbed her hands and started dancing with her! Zoe wasn’t really sure what to do and would just stand there . You can watch it here:
So my favorite band Zoé has a song Espectro Sol that is on an album that MySpace put out. I really and truly love this song so here are the lyrics with translation.
Zoé - Espectro Sol (Spectral Sun)
Y parece que encontré la transmisión,
de lejos veo mejor
y hablo con mi sintetizador.
Espejo lobular,
no me dejes de contener
que pierdo la propulsión
y no me quites la proyección,
que quiero resucitar.
Estuviste cerca de perder la calma,
por un trozo de universo,
y las moléculas se trastornan,
dormían,
espectro sol.
Estuvimos cerca de perder la calma,
por un trozo de universo,
y las moléculas se trastornan,
dormían,
espectro sol.
Lucifer,
dejame vivir en paz!
It seems I have found the transmission
I see better from far away
and I speak with my synthesizer.
Lobular mirror
don’t stop containing me
because I lose my propulsion
and don’t take away my projection
because I want to resuscitate
You were close to losing your calm
for a chunk of the universe
and the molecules upset themselves
they slept
spectral sun
We were close to losing our calm
for a chunk of the universe
and the molecules upset themselves,
they slept,
spectral sun
I can’t imagine what is going on or what the singer is trying to say but I really love the visuals I see in my head. It’s a little taste of this image I found on Flickr:
One of my absolute favorite favorite songs of all time is Zoé’s Electricidad. So here are the lyrics translated for you and if you ever get a chance to listen to it, do so with a quiet heart and mind. For my birthday here are the lyrics:
Zoé - Electricidad (Electricity)
Pensamos que todo seria mejor,
Si dejábamos que la luna
y el viento dejaran de hablar,
Para escuchar el silencio,
De la noche,
En tus ojos,
A veces las cosas se dan al revés
y nos aferramos vencidos al árbol
de la noche triste,
pero mi´mor ya no importa,
Todo pasa,
Y se aprende
Dime siempre que
Dije la verdad,
Sin mentirme nada,
Necesito estar
Contigo una vez más,
Que en la eternidad
ya no se tiene final
Pensamos que todo seria mejor,
Si dejábamos que la luna
y el viento dejaran de hablar,
Para escuchar el silencio
De noche,
En tus ojos
Y poder decir adiós
Dificil la verdad
Difícil es
Ya no tienes confusión
Y ya no guardas más rencor
Se siente bien
Dime siempre que
Dije la verdad
Sin mentirte nada,
Necesito estar
Contigo una vez más,
Que en la eternidad
ya no se tiene final
Electricidad descúbrenos como es, que en la eternidad ya no se tiene final
We thought everything would be better
if we let the moon and the wind stop talking,
to listen to the silence
of the night
in your eyes.
Sometimes things to backwards and we clutch
the tree defeated in the sad night,
but my love no longer matters
everything passes
and is learned.
Tell me that I always told the truth
without lying to myself
I need to be with you once again
since eternity no longer has an end.
We thought that everything would be better
if we let the moon and the wind stop talking,
to listen to the silence
of the night
in your eyes.
And be able to say goodbye
and tell ourselves the truth
difficult it is
You don’t have confusion anymore
and you don’t save any rancour
It feels good
Tell me that I always told the truth
without lying to you
I need to be with you once again
since eternity no longer has an end.
Electricity, discover for us how it is that eternity doesn’t have an end.
So I was talking to one of my good friends and we started talking about songs that we would sing to our children. He said he’d sing Eyes Of Mercy which are the loveliest lyrics I’ve ever read by a group called October Project. When I read the lyrics I almost cried! He also sent me these lyrics Bowl Of Oranges by the group Bright Eyes (for which I thank him profusely to no end). (more…)
