“You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you

It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me love
I know I’m not a hopeless case”

Dilemma that doesn’t really exist

on
26 January 2023

When you have so many choices, but still think you have nothing… to put on for a milonga…

“(Help)
I need somebody
(Help)
Not just anybody

(Help)
You know I need someone
(Help)

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody’s help in any way
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ’round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won’t you please, please help me?”

Title: Help!
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Help! (Remastered)
Date: 1965

“Yo busco un abrazo
que abrigue este frío,
yo busco los ojos
que ven dentro mío.

Yo quiero esos besos
que besan la vida
de amores y espantos,
dolor y alegría.

Yo quiero tus besos
que curan mi herida,
que queman mi llanto
y la pena se alivia.”

Title: Tormentosa
Artist: Amores Tango

“Todo aquel que piense que la vida siempre es cruel
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que tan solo hay momentos malos y todo pasa

Todo aquel que piense que esto nunca va a cambiar
Tiene que saber que no es así
Que al mal tiempo, buena cara, y todo cambia

Ay, no hay que llorar (No hay que llorar)
Que la vida es un carnaval
Y es más bello vivir cantando”

Se puede escapar de una telaraña invisible?

Plaza de España, Madrid, Spain

“Oh no, I see
A spider web and it’s me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble

Singing out, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm

They spun a web for me”

BLUEBIRD

“There’s a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out but I’m too clever
I only let him out at night sometimes
When everybody sleeps

I say: “I know that you’re there
Don’t be so sad, ” that’s what I said
Then I put him back but he’s always singing
I don’t let him die and we sleep together
Like that with our secret pact…”

  • Charles Bukowski
