Roseira do teu mencer...

La entrada de hoy es obligada... Desde 1963, cuando se homenajeó a Rosalía de Castro, ya son 45 los años que se llevan celebrando el Dia de las Letras Gallegas. Este año la festividad está dedicada a Xosé María Álvarez Blázquez. Nacido en Tui en 1915, fue miembro de la Real Academia Galega, cronista oficial de la ciudad de Vigo y finalista del Premio Nadal, entre otras muchas cosas.

Era un airiño soave

Era un airiño soave
que se erguéu pol-a mañán
e viña de non se sabe.

Era un recendo de rosas
da roseira de ningures,
que se metéu pol-a porta.

Era unha cantiga leda
que nascía non sei onde
e petaba na fiestra.

Era unha gracia sotil
que baixaba das estrelas...
¡Eras tí!

One Republic - Apologize

One Republic es un quinteto de Colorado, que debuta con su album "Dreaming Out Loud" . Su carta de presentación la escriben con "Apologize" y suena así... en su primera versión (antes de que el productor y "hip-hopero" Timbaland la reversionase, dándole su toque personal)




Apologize - One Republic

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new) Yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say "Sorry" like the angel, heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...
