Hoy Es Adios by Santana and Alejandro Lerner

"Today is Goodbye"
Style: Rock, sad, border-crossing song
Country: Mexico, Argentina

Él se fue con el invierno.
Él se ha ido a trabajar.
No me ha escrito en mucho tiempo;
Él dijo que volverá.


He left with the winter.
He has gone to work.
Hasn't written to me in a long time;
He said he would return.

Pero el tiempo pasó,
No preguntes por qué
Él ya no regresó a nuestro hogar.
La frontera marcó
Su destino final
Y a mis brazos jamás volvío.


But the time passed,
Don't ask why
He won't return to our home now.
The border marked
His final destination
And to my arms he never returned.

CHORUS:
Hoy es adios;
Mañana quizas.
Sé que tú vas a volver.
Hoy es adios,
Mañana quizas.
No hay fronteras en nuestro querer.


Today is goodbye;
Tomorrow, perhaps.
I know that you will return.
Today is goodbye,
Tomorrow, perhaps.
There are no borders in our love.

Ya ha pasado un nuevo invierno
Desde que te ví marchar.
No hay un mundo mejor que el nuestro.
Sé que un día volveras.


A new winter has passed now
Since I saw you leave.
There is no world better than ours.
I know that one day you will return.

Pero el tiempo pasó,
No preguntes por qué
Él ya no regresó a nuestro hogar.
La frontera marcó
Su destino final
Y a mis brazos jamás volvío.


But the time passed,
Don't ask why
He won't return to our home now.
The border marked
His final destination
And to my arms he never returned.

CHORUS:
Hoy es adios;
Mañana quizas.
Sé que tú vas a volver.
Hoy es adios;
Mañana quizas.
No hay fronteras en nuestro querer.


Today is goodbye;;
Tomorrow, perhaps.
I know that you will return.
Today is goodbye;
Tomorrow, perhaps.
There are no borders in our love.

SPOKEN:
Vuelve hijo mio.
Aqui te espero.


Return, my son.
I wait for you here.

CHORUS REPEATS

Translation Notes:

Él ya no regresó a nuestro hogar
He won't return to our home now

ya no regresó - implies certainty in that he didn't return and won't return

30 Years Ago

30 years ago I saw a movie for the first time in my life. I was 6 years old at the time when my parents chose to introduce me to this medium, and the experience of cinema magic changed my life forever.

It was the year 1982.

I have loved movies ever since BECAUSE of that film, and it probably was the reason I chose to become a filmmaker, if I am honest with myself.

That film remains my most favourite movie of all time, still to this day. I wholeheartedly believe it's a lesson in visual and narrative storytelling. Each time I watch it I marvel at its passion, its emotional impact and simplicity of form that all deeply affect me, like I'm watching it for the first time.

Tonight, 30 years later, I got to see it on the big cinema screen again for the second time, on its celebratory 1-day re-release in honour of its transition to BluRay.

Tonight, again, I got all of the goosebumps and the smiles and the giggles and the tears I got the first time I saw it, back when I was 6.

You gotta love that.

I have waited 30 years for this moment, so if that's not true love, I don't know what is.

Welcome back, E.T., though for me you have always been

...right here...

Bette Midler - Shiver Me Timbers (Live Version)



Well, I'm leavin' my family, I'm leavin' all my friends.
My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky.
My tears are salt water. The moon's full and high.

And I know Joe Conrad is gonna be proud of me.
Many before me been called by the sea
to be up in the crows nest singin' by saying:
Shiver me timbers. Let's all sail away.

And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab's got nothin' on me.
Swallow me, don't follow me. I'm travelling alone.
The water's my daughter. I shall skip like a stone.

And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab got nothing on me,
"Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water, she's my daughter. I'll skip like a stone."

Won't you please call my family. Tell 'em not to cry.
My goodbyes are written by the moon in the sky.
Say, nobody knows me. I got no reason to stay.
Shiver me timbers. I'm sailing away.

la, la, la, la, la, la.
la, la, la, la.
la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la-a, la.
