Thanks Falcao, for the song. Did you know that it is also the titlesong of Almodovar's movie: Volver?
Beautifully sung, in flamenco-stile by Estrella Morente.

Nice that you put that song here, that song is on the film "2046" as you can see in the youtube video. What an amazing film. That and the "In the mood for Love" that works as a prequel to that one are in my list of all time favourites. Great works of art indeed and made even more interesting because of the choice of music.

Since it is getting close to Christmas....

Haunting version of the original song

My taste in music seems to be all over the place. There is so much good stuff out there, that it's sometimes difficult to choose.

Thanks for the K.

Veloso's interpretation of the song is superb. Here is another version from an old Mexican movie by a late Mexican singer named Pedro Infante.

Translation of the first verse

They say that at nights
he went through just crying.
They say that he wasn’t eating,
he went through just drinking.
They swear that Heaven itself
was shuddered by listening his weeping,
how he suffered for her,
and even in his death he was calling at her:
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was singing
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was wailing
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was singing
from mortal passion he was dying.

I have some more songs, this time for all the misunderstood men.

Well, I don't know a word of French (ok, maybe "merci" but that's all). Here is a song in English sung with a heavy French accent.

desertblues · 12-16-2010, 03:11 PM

Used to run on this kind of music; Clarence Carter, Andrea Bocelli.

Falcao · 12-16-2010, 08:34 PM

Continuing with Mexican music, this song is named "This Tuesday they will shoot me", and tells the story of a person who will be shot by a fire squad during the Cristero war.

This Tuesday they will shoot me
at 6 in the morning.
For believing in eternal God
and in the great Guadalupana. (1)

They found me a stamp
of Jesus inside my hat.
That's why they condemned me.
Because I'm a Cristero.

That's why they will shoot me
this Tuesday by the morning.
They will kill my useless body,
but never, never my soul.

I tell my executioners
that I want to be crucified,
and once crucified,
then they can use their rifles.

Good bye hills of Jalisco, (2)
Michoacán (3), and Guanajuato (4),
where I fought the government,
who always ran away.

They seized me on my knees
adoring to Jesus Christ.
They knew there was no defense
in that sacred place.

I'm a peasant by inheritance,
Jaliscience by birth.
I don't have more God that Christ
because He gave me the existence.

By killing me it doesn't end
the believing in eternal God.
Many remain in the fight
and others are just being born.

That is why they will shoot me
this Tuesday by the morning.

(1) Our Lady of Guadalupe
(2, 3, 4) States in central and western Mexico.

My interests cover a wide range too. There is no real "favorite", just a favorite at the moment.
