Good afternoon today I bring you the I want to die version of DLG in the key of A minor, it is a song that I have listened to since I was very young and I love it, originally it is a salsa that I am sure you have seen everyone dancing at more than one party. Dark Latin Groove was the band through which I got to know this wonderful song, in their second album in 1997 called "Swing on" was that this song that we are talking about today came out. Thanks to the fusion of the group that combines salsa with reggae, hip hop and house is that the song hits and enchants so much we owe this to the idea of Sergio George who was in charge of giving life to the DLG project, and of course the very special voice of Huey Dunbar.
La quiero a morir has had many covers in Spanish throughout history, by well-known bands and artists such as Manzanita, Camilo Sesto, Dyango, Raphael, Shakira, Conchita, Sergio Vargas, Sergio Dalma, Jarabe de Palo, Niña Pastori, El Puchero del Hortelano, Muchachito Bombo Infierno, the French band Alliage, CNCO, Don Tetto, Marc Anthony and Forraje. In Latin America it has been a very well received and liked by the people. But many do not know the origin of the song reading a little I was surprised to see that originally the theme is Framcos Cabrel, was a hit in France called "Je l'aime à mourir", the same Cabrel said that his second album did not unleash passions until he added this theme, thanks to this theme is that he owes his success, and seeing the popularity that reached the theme contact with the Spanish composer Luis Gomez Escolar, to make the adaptation to our language. This was the lyric on which the Spanish versions that we know today were based.
Francis Cabrel himself was the one who sang a version in our language in 1980, it really is a song with a very beautiful and strong lyrics, a song that touches the fiber and goes straight to the heart. I hope you enjoy my acoustic version of the song, if you want to know more about the history of this song I leave you this blog "el comercio" where I found a good review of the song and the band DLG.

Y yo que hasta ayer
Solo fui un holgazán
Y hoy soy guardián de sus
Sueños de amor
La quiero a morir
Puede destrozar todo aquello que ve
Porque ella de un soplo lo vuelve a crear
Como si nada, como si nada
La quiero a morir
Ella para las horas de cada reloj
Y me ayuda pintar transparente el dolor
Con su sonrisa
Y levanta una torre
Desde el cielo hasta aquí
Y me coce unas alas
Y me ayuda a subir
A toda prisa, a toda prisa
La quiero a morir
Conoce bien cada guerra
Cada herida, cada sed
Conoce bien cada guerra
De la vida y del amor también
Eh
Me dibuja un paisaje
Y me lo hace vivir
En un bosque de lápiz
Se apodera de mí
La quiero a morir
Y me atrapa en un lazo
Que no aprieta jamás
Como un nido de seda
Que no puedo soltar
Lo quiero soltar, lo quiero soltar
La quiero a morir
Conoce bien cada guerra
Cada herida, cada sed
Conoces bien cada guerra
De la vida y del amor también
Eh

And me who until yesterday.
I was just a loafer.
And today I am the guardian of his
Dreams of love.
I love her to death.
She can shatter everything she sees.
For she can create it all over again in a breath
Just like nothing, just like nothing
I love her to death
She stops the hours of every clock.
And she helps me paint transparent the pain
With her smile
And raises up a tower
From the sky to here.
And he takes wings from me
And helps me upward
In a hurry, in a hurry
I love her to death
She knows every war well.
Every wound, every thirst
She knows every war well.
Of life and love as well.
Eh
He draws me a landscape.
And makes me live it.
In a forest of pencil.
It takes hold of me.
I love her to death
And catches me in a snare
That never tightens
Like a nest of silk
That I can't let go of
I want to let it go, I want to let it go
I love her to death
She knows every war well
Every wound, every thirst
You know every war well
You know every war well
Of life and love as well
Every wound, every thirst
Eh
