This post is made in sudden and incidentally. With fad I search a video of Gloria Estefan which sang a certain song of her Spanish album “90 Millas” and I find this video that is so interesting. So I post it.
What makes it so interesting ? According to me. First, the color of the video that is sepia or dark brown-gray color. Make it classic. Then the appearance of Gloria Estefan with white hat and white tuxedo that makes her masculine. Not to mention the appearance of Carlos Santana, Jose Feliciano, Sheila E and Arturo Sandoval. After that, I also read this at Wikipedia” : “No Llores” became Estefan’s 14th number-one on Billboard’s Latin Songs chart.
For you know that I like Gloria Estefan especially when she sang in Spanish language and traditional latin song like this song. Altough I can’t speak Spanish and don’t understand any words of it at all. But I like to imitate speaking in Spanish, after I try to find out the meaning of it. In my opinion, Spanish language is a sexy language. Not only that, I like to imitate and pretending playing percussion with knocking something during the song. I’m glad if I don’t make any mistakes when following the beat.
For you know as well that I collected her Spanish albums from her first Spanish language album “Mi Tierra”, her second Spanish language album “Abriendo Puertas” until her third Spanish language album “Alma Caribeña”.
So, what else ? Enjoy this song, sing if you like. I include the lyrics below. Or knock something if you like to follow the beat. Like the title of this song “No llores” which means “Don’t cry”. Be optimistic. Especially facing this new year.
No llores, no llores, no llores, no llores x 4
Si vas a entregar el alma
Hazlo libre de temores.
Si del amor mucho se aprende
Se aprende más de los errores, ¡ay!
Deja de llorar, deja de llorar, deja de llorar
¡Ay! no llores, no no no ¡qué va!
Deja de sufrir y suelta los temores
¡Ay! no llores
Si un día no me quisieras
Dilo de frente y sin traiciones.
Toda la dicha que vivimos
Se queda en nuestros corazones
¡Ay! no llores por mí mi amor
No llores por mí, no llores por mí, no llores más
¡Ah! no llores por mí
No, no llores
El día que yo me muera
No quiero que me manden flores.
Lo que me des, dámelo en vida
No habrá razón pa’ que me llores
¡Ay! no llores, no llores por mí
No hay razón para que llores así
No te preocupes, deja el llanto
Y escucha mi canto que dice así
No llores, no llores, no llores por mí, por mí
Si no disfrutas de la vida nunca podrás ser feliz.
¡Ay! no llores, no llores, no llores, no llores por mí
Que la vida es muy corta pa’ seguir sufriendo así
¡Ay! no llores, no llores, no llores más
¡Ay! la vida es pa’ gozarla na’a más
Oye mi amor lo que yo quiero es que tú me digas
Que a mí tú no me vas a llorar jamás
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry x 4
If you are going to surrender your soul
Do it free of fear.
If one learns much from love
One learns much more from mistakes, oh!
Stop crying, stop crying, stop crying
Oh! don’t cry, no no no no way!
Stop suffering and let go of your fears
Oh! don’t cry
If one day you should not love me
Say it up front and without deceit (lit: treachery).
All the happiness that we lived through
Remains in our hearts
Oh! don’t cry for me my love
Don’t cry for me, don’t cry for me, don’t cry any more
Oh! don’t cry for me
No, don’t cry
The day that I die
I do not want them to send me flowers.
What you would give, give me it in life
There will be no (lit: it will not have) reason for you to cry for me
Oh! don’t cry, don’t cry for me
There is no reason for you to cry so
Do not worry, stop your crying
And listen to my song that goes (lit: says) like this
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry for me, for me
If you do not enjoy life you will never be able to be happy.
Oh! don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry for me
Life is too short to keep suffering this way
Oh! don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry any more
Oh! life is for enjoying, nothing else
Listen (lit: hear), my love. What I want is for you to tell me
That you are never going to cry for me
