quizás, quizás, quizás...

today...

I'm not sure what happened....this song tugged at me....and I listened to it all day....

it makes me want to sit and paint palm trees all day, sipping sangria....in the heat of the sun...oh...and eating picadillo...that is my favorite...ever....you, know...because of the green olives....which I am a complete sucker for.

which made me want to paint really....saturated colors... passionate colors...colors of life...of love...the blues of deep heartache....the green of hopeful spring...the pink of love and passion.....

and the painting today....just...dripping with color...saturated...with emotion...because being bland is not what's on tap today.  Today is about....feeling.  like...putting on a song that rips at that beating organ in your chest....

this song...just tugs...even if you don't know what's being sung....the singing...you can feel it...which is the wonderful thing about music....crossing language barriers....you know...just...that- words aren't needed...sometimes words end up shifting the true essence of it.... of course...yes, there is an English version, but I think something gets lost in the translation....you can google it... anyway...

there's passion.....and heat....and sweetness.... like bringing chili and chocolate together....which I love.


and this version...by Pink Martini...slow and hot...simmering like ropa vieja....

siempre que te pregunto
que cuando como y donde
tu siempre me respondes 

Estas perdiendo el tiempo    ******* this part.....just....hits you..... wow. 
Pensando pensando
Por lo que mas tu quieras
Hasta cuando hasta cuando

Y así pasan los días

Y yo desesperando
Y tu tu contestando
Quizás quizás quizás

(escrito por Osvaldo Farres, 1947) 



here's to burning your mouth once in a while....with something sweet and spicy....like chili laced chocolate....

peace and love....and fried plantains....and cuban food.
