Absolutely love this BEAUTIFUL song! For me, it helps pick me up when all seems dark and hopeless. I first heard it when my high-school Spanish teacher played it for us all in class (He was, and probably always will be, my favorite teacher and one of my bigger mentors). I saved it and listen to it often. Here is a quick, dirty Google Translate that I did my best to touch up, pardon my rusty Spanish skills... : "Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me A beautiful morning A beautiful place A beautiful bed How great the sea looks [or maybe 'how beautiful the bed is, that so well views the sea?] Beautiful is the day And life has only just begun to be beautiful Breathe, breathe, breathe The phone rings, my friend complains Things are going badly, life weighs on him That living like this is no longer interesting That continuing like this is not worth it Love is lost to him, the party is over The engine that pushes the earth no longer works Life is a joke with a sad ending The future does not exist but I tell him... Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me Beautiful is peace, beautiful is life Beautiful it is to come to be born again each day Beautiful is truth when it doesn't sound like a lie Beautiful is friendship, beautiful is laughter Beautiful are people, when there is quality [of life?] Beautiful are the people who do not regret who win and who lose, who speak and don't lie Beautiful, people are, that is why I say... Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me How beautiful it is when things go beautifully, How beautiful that things are going well Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me The sea, the morning, the house, the shadow, the earth, the peace and the life that we have Beautiful, everything is beautiful to me Your calm, your pizazz [not sure if this is right for 'salsa'], the blemish on your back, your face, your longing for the weekend Beautiful are the people who come and who go Beautiful are the people who don't stop going Beautiful are the timeless people that listen, that understand, that have and that give Beautiful Portet, beautiful Peret Beautiful the rumba, beautiful José Beautiful the breeze that isn't in a hurry Beautiful this day, breathe, breathe Beautiful are the people when they are genuine Beautiful are the people who are unique Who tremble, who feel Who live in the present Beautiful are the people that I was and that is no longer Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me How beautiful it is when things go beautifully, How beautiful that things are going well How beautiful it is when things go beautifully, How beautiful that things are going well Beautiful, everything seems beautiful to me." Without getting too deep into the song, my interpretation of it is that even though life has many hardships and can be ugly, when you take a step back and try to gain some more perspective, you might be able to see that every segment of life has it's own beauty. Sorry if my translation is lacking, but I hope the general meaning is right. Cheers. |
