Perfect Day...Today was a really good day. I took Caitlin out for dinner at Casa Nueva and then surprised her with tickets to see Yo la Tengo at Stuart's Opera House.
I have never seen a music show quite like this -- the stage presence and energy exuded by the players was very zen-like. It was as if the players never felt like the music was ever really out of their control. The guitarist played like a mad man -- he was hurling and slinging his guitar around the stage like a dog stripping a bone raw. His solos and inflections were truly possessed. I am so glad I got to see this show -- it goes up there among the best shows I have ever seen for sure. Caitlin and I went with our good friend Rob and it was the perfect end to a perfect day.
Earlier on I recorded this song using my the video feed on my computer. I put some hackneyed effects on it to make it look antiquated but I don't care. The song is Nuestro Juramento by Julio Jaramillo and here are the lyrics:
Nuestro Juramento
No puedo verte triste porque me mata tu carita de pena; mi dulce amor, me duele tanto el llanto que tu derramas que se llena de angustia mi corazón.
I cannot see you sad because it kills meYour little face (full) of sorrow, my sweet love.It pains me so much, the tears that you spill,That my heart fills up with anguish.
Yo sufro lo indecible si tu entristeces, no quiero que la duda te haga llorar, hemos jurado amarnos hasta la muerte y si los muertos aman, despues de muertos amarnos más.
I suffer unspeakably if you sadden,I do not want doubt to make you cry.We have vowed to love each other until deathAnd if the dead (can) love,After dying, to love each other more.
Si yo muero primero, es tu promesa, sobre de mi cadaver dejar caer todo el llanto que brote de tu tristeza y que todos se enteren de tu querer.
If I die first, it is your promise,Over my cadaver let fallAll the tears that spring from your sadnessAnd let everyone hear of your love.
Si tu mueres primero, yo te prometo, escribiré la historia de nuestro amor con toda el alma llena de sentimiento; la escribire con sangre, con tinta sangre del corazón
If you die first, I promise you,I will write the story of our loveWith my whole spirit filled with emotion;I will write it with blood,With the tinted blood of the heart.
