Ay, payita mía, guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
Dame, dámelo (oh-ah)

No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella

Ay, amor, me duele tanto

Me duele tanto

Que te fueras sin decir a donde
Ay, amor
Fue una tortura, perderte

Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar, amor

No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo

Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que tuyo es mi corazón

Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós

Esto es otra vez, y esto es otra vez
Esto es otra vez, y esto es otra vez, no

No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas

Ay, amor, me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que no creas más en mis promesas

Ay, amor

Es una tortura, perderte

Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor

No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo

Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que tuyo es mi corazón

Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós

Dame, dámelo (oh-ah)

No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye, negrita, mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye, mi negra no me castigues más
Porque alláafuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido

Yo se que no he sido un santo
Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón

No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo

Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón

Ay, ay, ay-ay-ay
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti
Fue una tortura perderte
Me duele tanto que sea asi
Sigue llorando perdón
Yo, yo no voy
A llora-ar por ti

Musical Interlude: A random thought brought this wonderful song to mind...a Spanish-language hit from the 70s, it's a passionate love song declaring that the subject is all that gives the singer life and hope. It's a gloriously primal song...but just a damn good song even if you don't understand the words.

"Eres Tú," performed by Mocedades.

The amount of badly translated to Spanish interfaces I see online is very high. The translation of "open" as in "to open" is "abrir", not "abierto", and so on (my mail service is asking me if I want to "vacío" my spam folder). I guess most companies machine-translate everything nowadays and don’t pay anyone to check afterwards, even for the most basic things. #translation #machineTranslation #ux #ui #spanish #spanishLanguage

I decided to improve my Spanish, yes.

But I'm doing it on Hard Mode.

The custom flashcards that I create are English-Spanish. Oftentimes, it would be so much easier to have them be French-Spanish.

Those who know French and Spanish will tell you that the two are much closer together than English is to either of them.

I've watched the first two episodes of Bandidos.

Pros:

* The subtitles are following the Spanish rather closely compared to other things I've watched. That's a major plus.

* I'm not bored.

Cons:

* It is full of plot holes.

* The guys that are staffing the security at the museum in the first episode would put Stormtroopers to shame with their stupidity.

Around these here parts, we say:

I'd like the check.

In French, we can say:

Je voudrais l'addition.

In Spanish, I have:

Me gustaría la factura.

(Note that in French, we can also say la facture instead of l'addition.)

Why can't we agree on what to call that slip of paper?
