 Saturday, October 9, 2004You know what was beautiful? Hearing a song by Julieta Venegas on my bus ride from Tijuana to Los Angeles. It was a sweet song that brought me to the point of placing myself in the shoes of people who are leaving their loved ones behind (a girlfriend, or a boyfriend) in their quest to a better life in America. In the long bus ride from their town to Tijuana (border town) they must have heard so many songs, and at least one of the songs would have caused them to rethink their plans, to wonder if they are doing the right thing by crossing the border into a new country. And so this is, Andar Conmigo… Translation: Woman:
There’s a lot I have to tell you. There’s so much I want to know about you..
Man:
Let’s begin. What brings you here? Don’t be afraid to tell me the truth. The truth can’t be so bad. I, too, have secrets to share with you. Secrets I must no longer keep within.
Woman:
You know, there are so many places to visit and things to do. In addition, I’m dying to tell you about my life experiences up to this day. However, before we get to that point, let’s just sit here and rejoice on the beauty of fate, as it’s fate that intertwined our lives. Secondly, I want to say that I’d love for you to become part of my ongoing life story, but you must make the first move: tell me how much you’d love to go out with me.
