Hello, Hivers and music lovers! Happy Valentine's
Tuesdays are those days at Hive when we share some music thanks to the #threetunetuesday initiative initiated by @ablaze.
#ttt makes us discover new tunes and rhythms, listen to all-time hits, or travel back in time to listen to some oldies. But at least for this week, I'm going to leave aside those eighties oldies from my last #ttt. And since today is Valentine's Day, I'm of course going to share three love songs.
The songs I have chosen are all in Spanish, but from different singers and the songs are very different from each other in style.
But before we get into the tunes, let me give a little background for those of you who are not familiar with #threetunetuesday. In the words of @ablaze, who started the initiative
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
You can find out more at ablaze's post for this last Tuesday with his recommendations for this week #89, this is the #90.
So without further ado, let's go with three love songs to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Those of you who had read me on #ttt for a while may know how much I love the talented Mexican singer and songwriter Natalia Lafourcade. Her voice is sublime. And she must be on my Valentine's Day special of songs in Spanish.
The song I have chosen is Tú Sí Sabes Quererme. It has an infectious rhythm and is composed by Natalia herself.
Corazón, tú sí sabes
Quererme como a mí me gusta
Soy la flor encendida que da color
Al jardín de tu vida
Corazón, tú sí sabes
Quererme como a mí me gusta
Por favor, no me dejes
Que soy valiente en corresponderte
Heart, you do know
To love me as I like
I am the burning flower that gives color
To the garden of your life
Heart, you do know
To love me as I like
Please don't leave me
That I am brave to love you back
The following song is a song that brings back a lot of memories of the 90s. It is one of my favorite songs by Argentine rock singer and composer Fito Paez. My husband loves this song, Un Vestido y Un Amor.
This song was composed by Fito in the early 90s for the Argentine actress Cecilia Roth to whom he was later married.
Te vi juntabas margaritas del mantel
Ya sé que te trate bastante mal
No sé si eras un angel o un rubí
O simplemente te vi
Te vi, saliste entre la gente a saludar
Los astros se rieron otra vez, la llave de mandala se quebro
O simplemente te vi
Todo lo que diga esta de más
Las luces siempre encienden en el alma
Y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad, tú ya sabés comprender
Es solo un rato, no mas tendria que llorar o salir a matar
Te vi, te vi, te vi yo no buscaba nadie y te vi
Te vi fumabas unos chinos en Madrid
I saw you gathering daisies from the tablecloth.
I know I treated you pretty bad
I don't know if you were an angel or a ruby
Or I just saw you
I saw you, you came out among the people to say hello
The stars laughed again, the mandala key was broken
Or I just saw you
Anything I say is superfluous
The lights always turn on in the soul
And when I get lost in the city, you already know how to understand
It's just for a while, no more I'd have to cry or go out to kill
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you I wasn't looking for anyone and I saw you
I saw you smoking a few joints in Madrid
The third song is by a Spanish singer called Coque Malla. The song is No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti.
Coque Malla was the singer of a Spanish rock band from the late 80s and most of the 90s called Los Ronaldos. I was never a fan of them. But Coque Malla went on with his solo career, and I love this song that I share with you today.
In the version that I have chosen to share he sings it accompanied by the singer Anni B Sweet.
Llevas años enredada en mis manos, en mi pelo
En mi cabeza
Y no puedo más
No puedo más
Debería estar cansado de tus manos, de tu pelo
De tus rarezas
Pero quiero más
Yo quiero más
No puedo vivir sin ti
No hay manera
No puedo estar sin ti
No hay manera
For years you've been tangled in my hands, in my hair
In my head
And I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
I should be tired of your hands, of your hair
Of your quirks
But I want more
I want more
I can't live without you
There's no way
I can't be without you
There is no way
Thank you very much for reading!
Enjoy the music, and enjoy life! and Happy Valentine's Day ♡♡
