musical /lyrical interlude

the blog title reminds me of something which i wonder, whether it is cultural for here: eating ice-cream during the intermission at the theatre. i´d not seen that in SA. twice i´ve been to the ballet. today to the ballet in oxford, and last week at the royal opera house, also to see the ballet. today it was "cyrano" (de bergerac), last week it was "onegin" at covent garden. thát was a dream-come-true. more so because i´d thought that ballet was something i´d left behind in my childhood. so, thanks to the collective endeavour of friends, i´d went last week and saw that this didn´t have to be the case.

i like following pop culture. one of the peculiar things about being in the UK is that it feels distinctly different reading the MOJO or Q magazine when in the UK than when in SA. Maybe it is that one feels close-enough-to-touch. or that i feel i could travel rather quickly to places where the artists or bands are/were from... i do miss reading the Spanish version of Rolling Stone magazine though, and it is difficult to get a copy of outside of Spain. i´ve never been a great fan of the US Rolling Stone, though for a time i did read it when in SA. anyhow. Jennifer Lopez (don´t the press in Spain just love her) has her first spanish-lyrics album out. and i like the following song:

Lyrics found at letrasmania.com:

Artista: Jennifer Lopez
Álbum: Como Ama Una Mujer
Título: Te Voy A Querer



Aunque todo lo que ves se terminara
Aunque ya nunca volviera a amanecer
Si de pronto en el silencio me encontrara
Yo me iria tras de ti lo sabes bien
Y si fueras tu mi ultima esperanza
Tras tu huella mi camino buscare

Creo en eso que el amor te lleva al cielo
De pedirme en el naufragio, salvame
Creo en eso de esperar el dia nuevo
Que lo nuestro es para siempre ya lo se
Y que importa si el destino se indignara
O si alguien dijera que este amor no puede ser
Ay yo...

Si tu voz no la escuchara entre mis suenos
Y tus ojos no me guiaran para ver
Volveria de otra vida por tu encuentro
Volveria para verte creeme [x2]

Ya las dudas y los miedos se me fueron
Ya no tengo mas secretos que esconder
Y a partir de este momento yo decreto
que no hay nadie que me pueda detener
No voy a pensar en que vendra manana
Quiero despertar contigo cada amanecer

[Repetir Coro]

Las penas pasadas ahora son historia
El umbral de las traiciones ya cruze
Siento que tu amor me llevara a la gloria
Estoy lista pa' quererte ya lo se

[Repetir Coro]

Te voy a querer aunque se oponga el viento
Y nadie este de acuerdo, te juro que esta ves, ay yo
Te voy a querer sin pedir opinion, sin dar explicaciones
Soy libre pa' escoger, ay yo Te voy a querer
