Hay Una Música Del Pueblo

Hay una música del pueblo,
Ni sé decir si es un fado*
Que escuchándola hay un ritmo nuevo
En el ser que tengo guardado...

Escuchándola soy quien sería
Si desear fuese ser...
Es una simple melodía
De las que se aprenden a vivir...

Y la escucho encantado y solitario...
Es eso mismo que yo quise...
Perdí la fé y el camino...
Quien no fui es que és feliz

Pero es tan consoladora
La vaga y triste canción...
Que mi alma ya no llora
Ni yo tengo corazón...

Soy una emoción extranjera,
Un error de sueño ido...
Canto de cualquier manera
Y termino con un sentido.





* Es posible traducirlo como "destino" (es la traducción más acertada de dicha palabra ["fado"]) pero, dado que es un poema en el que se habla de la música, decidí mantener la palabra intacta para hacer referencia al estilo musical.

You are 20 and a bit? You must check this list!





Find three hobbies to love: one to make money, another to stay in shape and another to exercise your creativity. If you are able to join the functions of your hobbies, even better!

  • Moderation is interesting, but moderating the right things is even more important.
  • Quit your job for once. Don't overwork.
  • Go and discover the world now that you don't have a whole bunch of responsibilities.
  • Don't live on the internet. Deactivate your Facebook account, go and live the real life.
  • Don't quit what you most wish for what you long now.
  • Read. A lot.
  • Don't dress badly.
  • Never mock other's cars. 
  • Never stop studying, whatever the subject is.
  • If you are going to get in a relationship or married, do it with whom you consider your best friend (being it male or female).
  • All the adventures of life start when you expose yourself.
  • Drama takes us nowhere.
  • Worship experiences instead of objects.
  • In bad weather, drive slow.
  • Money comes and goes. Time only goes.
  • Don't judge by intentions, but for actions.
  • Continue failing, always.
  • Don't depend on others to be happy.
  • Bite less, chew more.
