I just heard a song called “Por Volverte a Ver”. It’s the first time I hear it, and I already dig it. I heard it sang by some guy named Alex Syntek, as he played a piano. I was surprised to like the song. When it comes to spanish music, I tend to go for music sang by older musicians with guitar in hand. Heck, my favorite solo artist is Julio Jaramillo, and he was already dead when I was born. Anyway, here’s my translation (not word for word) of the song:

We failed to pronounce two words, and being able to forgive one another. It would have been so easy to say “I’m sorry”, but our pride got in the way; we lacked humbleness. After our rupture, I did my best to be the first to speak, but it was too late. Now I’d give my life for being able to see you and get back the time lost, and say to you “I’m sorry”, over and over again. What good is existing if you’re not to be with me?

We failed to pronounce two words and the ability to forgive one another. It would have been so easy to say “I’m sorry”. Words that are so simple to pronounce. The lover who says it first is the one who loves the most, and loving is giving it all without expecting anything in return. Now I’d give anything for being able to see you.

I’ve learned that it’s wiser to love effectively, than to merely love without bounds. I’ve also learned to say “I’m sorry”. Baby, please forgive me. What good is life if you’re not around…

(Good stuff, huh?)
