Embrace Me

To be held tight and close to the heart of the one you love is one of the most invigorating feelings I can recall experiencing. Right now the one that I want to hold is far, far away. The CD I listen to when I go to sleep has Abrázame, a song fave from the disc Nada Es Igual by Luis Miguel. It has been a while since I've done a translation, so for your reading enjoyment: a sappy love song.


Abrázame (Embrace Me) - L&M: R. Pérez/M. Portmann

-1-
Sé mi amor
I know my love
Hazme un refugio en ti
I made a refuge in you (You are my refuge)
Llena el vacío en mí
You filled the void in me
Me haces falta desde el día en que te ví
It left me (from) the day I (first) saw you
Conjúrate con mi pasión
I swear with (by) my passion
Átame fuerte a tu corazón
Bound tight (with strength) to your heart
No me dejes nunca
Don’t ever leave me
Aunque me hunda
Although everything else fails (sinks around) me

-Coro-
Abrázame
Embrace (hold) me
Demuéstrame que eres real
Show me that you are real (true)
Que por bien o mal, jamás te perderé
For better or worse, I will never lose you
Oh oh abrázame
Oh oh embrace (hold) me
Afírmame que esta vez
Assure me that this time
Por fin llegó el amor
Finally it has arrived, love

Llegué a creer

Que mi destino fue vivir así
That it was my destiny to live like this
En soledad
In solitude
Solo amando sin amar, sin saber
Only loving without one to love, without knowing
Que al mirar tus ojos de mar
That to look in your eyes, continuous like the sea
Ya nunca más yo sería igual
No longer will I be the same
Te propongo la eternidad
I offer (propse) you eternity

Thank you for everything, granny. I will always love you.

The Wait is Finally Over!

After a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGG four year wait, it is that time again. THE World Cup is upon us my duckies! I cannot say enough about how excited I am about this so I will not even try. According to Fox Sports (who decided to use the same title I did), here you can find a two-minute guide to the World Cup. Explore! Enjoy!

Call it what you want...

... but you cannot call it love until you no longer live in fear of what your love will bring. "True (perfect) love drives out fear" is what I believe, so if there is fear of another's response, it is not true love. That is conditional (selfishly only willing to admit feelings if and only if they are reciprocated), which is not love at all.

Just thinking out loud...

Who Said?

On Monday I was able to relax and enjoy a partial day off. The joy of waking up and making pancakes from scratch... ahhh how wonderful it was. In any case, I was also able to watch an anime called Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. Yes as the title implies it is a reworking of the Alexandre Dumas classic.

Phenomenally magnificent!

The animation is amazingly beautiful and sadly that description is not grand enough. An actual fashion designer was brought in on the drawing team. Seriously, click the link because I'll never be able to explain how cool the characters look.

The tag line of the show is "Bide your time and hold out hope." I love this admonition. Because I am adding it as my page quote I thought I would look up more quotes from the actual novel. This led me to BrainyQuote.com. All kinds of quotes can be found here so check it out and have some fun.
