A warm greeting to this beautiful community. In Hive Open Mic #302, we explored the theme: "¡Buena suerte!". I am pleased to share my trumpet interpretation of «You Don't Have To Say You Love Me», a song of the orchestral baroque pop genre with soul and dramatic ballad influences, composed by Pino Donaggio and Vito Pallavicini in 1966. The original melody is Italian, and the English version is by Vicki Wickham and Simon Napier Bell. The lyrics talk about holding on to a love that is slipping away and accepting an unequal relationship in order not to lose the other person. The song is originally in G♭ major, but I perform it in F major, with key changes to D major and ending in E major. The melody has wide melodic leaps with long and sustained notes. The tempo is moderate and steady with a 4/4 time signature.

Un cordial saludo para esta bella comunidad. En el Hive Open Mic #302, exploramos el tema: "Good Luck!". Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «You Don't Have To Say You Love Me», una canción de genero pop barroco orquestal con influencias de soul y balada dramática compuesta por Pino Donaggio y Vito Pallavicini en 1966. La melodía original es italiana, y la versión en inglés es de Vicki Wickham y Simón Napier Bell. La letra trata de aferrarse a un amor que se está perdiendo, y de aceptar una relación desigual con tal de no perder a la otra persona. La canción originalmente se encuentra en la tonalidad de G♭ mayor, en mi caso la interpreto en F mayor, con cambios de tonalidad a D mayor y cierra en E mayor. La melodía tiene amplios saltos melódicos con notas largas y sostenidas. El tempo es moderado y estable con una cifra indicadora de compas de 4/4.
It is rare for me to wish someone luck. I believe that many things that happen in the world are neither coincidence nor the result of fate or chance. I think God is involved in every detail of our lives and that trials are necessary to grow intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially. Each challenge becomes an opportunity to develop our full potential. In my personal life, I strive to strengthen my trust in God and make wise decisions that do not lead me to be part of the statistics. I prefer to maintain language more focused on my beliefs, such as saying: 'God bless you.' When I face trials, I always try to see the positive side and understand the purpose for which they happen. If they are not the result of my decisions, nor someone else’s, then I trust that God has something better for me. I hope you enjoy my performance this week.

Es raro que le desee suerte a alguien. Considero que muchas de las cosas que suceden en el mundo no son casualidad, ni producto del destino o del azar. Creo que Dios está involucrado en cada detalle de nuestras vidas y que las pruebas son necesarias para crecer de manera intelectual, física, espiritual y social. Cada reto se convierte en una oportunidad para desarrollar nuestro máximo potencial. En mi vida personal, me esfuerzo por fortalecer mi confianza en Dios y tomar decisiones sabias que no me lleven a formar parte de las estadísticas. Prefiero mantener un lenguaje más centrado en mis creencias, como por ejemplo decir: “Dios te bendiga”. Cuando enfrento pruebas, siempre trato de ver el lado positivo y de entender el propósito por el cual suceden. Si no son producto de mis decisiones, ni de las de alguien más, entonces confío en que Dios tiene algo mejor para mí. Espero que disfruten de mi interpretación esta semana.
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me
I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me
