Llevas Una Estrella en tu Vientre - Ricardo Arjona

-
"You Carry a Star in your Womb"... I just like Ricardo Arjona more and more... English follows...

A mi, me gusta Ricardo Arjona más y más:

Era el proceso mensual mas tardio de su historia
fue a una amiga del colegio a la que le compartio su memoria
le conto que dos meses atras con aquel muchacho fugaz
comieron tremendo pastel en aquel viejo hotel.

El anciano facultativo
despues de las pruebas anuncio el positivo
y para esas alturas el futuro padre ya era un fugitivo
y mientras un rotativo
anuncia la trillada utopia de la deuda externa
a esa niña le fabrica su pecho una sabia materna

CORO
Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
llevas una vida que late
un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
quiza bohemio, quiza un señor
quiza compositor poeta medio loco o soñador...
quiza una idea quiza una solucion

Buscaba entre sus amigas el mejor de los consejos
que iban desde una inyeccion hasta una sopa de cangrejos
y sin la menor precaucion los medicos le dieron su cotizacion
mientras le anuncian en la tele otra devaluacion.

Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
llevas una vida que late
un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
quiza bohemio, quiza un señor
quiza compositor poeta medio loco o soñador...
quiza una idea quiza una solucion

A esa estrella en tu vientre no le digas detente
si lo hubiesen hecho conmigo...
hoy faltaria una canción

I'll just translate the refrain here:
You carry a star in your womb
A life that beats
A possible engineer, rocker or writer
Maybe bohemian, maybe a gentleman
A Composer, poet, half crazy or dreamer...
Maybe an idea maybe a solution

And the last little bit:
To this star in your womb don't say stop
If they had done so with me...
Today a song would be missing

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par...

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

-
She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things ...

Problems in Bolivia

-
Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas ...
