Okay, time for a new song, this time in Spanish. I first heard this song from a CD of Shakira I checked out in the spring of 2004. I fell in love with the song while driving across the cold, cornfields of Illinois in March on my way to visit some Midwestern college towns during my spring break. She recorded this when she was about 16 years old. It was her first CD that hit big in Latin America. To this day, I say she is a great poet and artist IN SPANISH, and that her English work sucks...plain and simple.
If you don't here it on my blog, here is a link to a video of it Pienso en ti.
First in ENGLISH for you gringos:
Everyday, I think of you,
I think a little bit more of you,
I take apart my heart,
and something inside me is destroyed.
Everyday I think of you,
I think a little bit more of you;
Everytime that the sun comes out
I look for a bit of courage
to continue this way,
And I see you;
that I didn't touch you in that way.
I pray for you every night.
It dawns and I think of you.
The tick-tock of the clocks
rumbles in my ears
and I keep thinking of you,
and I keep thinking....
Now in SPANISH for everyone else:
cada dia pienso en ti
pienso un poco mas en ti
despedazo mi razon
se destruye algo de mi
cada dia pienso en ti
pienso un poco mas en ti
cada dia pienso en ti
pienso un poco mas en ti
cada vez que sale el sol
busco un algo el valor
para continuar asi
y te veo asi no te toque
rezo por ti cada noche
amanece y pienso en ti
y retumba en mis oidos
el tic-tac de los relojes
y sigo pensando en ti
y sigo pensando...
