My song of the moment... I'm trying to get back into Spanish since I'll be making a trip soon... and, go me, I found a couple of errors in the lyrics and turned out to be right... see, I can still do this... maybe not as well as in my Spanish Queen days, but still, I can... and, surprisingly, my fingers still "automatically" know how to make the upside-down question mark. I couldn't remember the number for the Alt-command, so I just stared at the screen and let my fingers move, and they did it right! Dormant knowledge waking up again... wacky...

And I understand everything in this song, too - which I'm happy about. I had to really 'look hard' at some of it and really think, but in the end it 'surfaced' and I realized what was being said. It's not as easy as it used to be, but it's still there. Nitza would shoot me... come to think of it, I should mail her... OK, I'll stop rambling - here's the song.

Tú robaste mi corazón
Selena & Emilio Navaira

Como he llegado a caer aquí contigo
Entre tus brazos de sed, amor
Qué bonito es encontrarse al fín
Después de tanto tiempo solo

Cómo es que todo se ve mejor contigo
Cómo es que nada parece igual
No puede ser amor lo que siento en mi
Es mucho más de lo que imaginaba

(bridge)
En un momento el corazón perdí
Sin darme cuenta todo te lo dí
Y en mi pecho siento nueva vida
Donde mi corazón dormía

(coro)
Tú, tú robaste mi corazón, ¿qué puedo hacer?
Me siento presa de ti
Y no me quiero escapar de tu vida
Tú, tú llenaste mi corazón
Con tu querer
Con tu alma y tu ser
No te quiero perder
Nunca, nunca

En un momento has cambiado todo, amigo
Lo que esparada al fin llegó
Lo que nadie más pude encontrar
Sin esperar caí en mis manos

Cómo es que todo se ve mejor contigo
Cómo es que nada parece igual
No puede ser amor lo que siento en mi
Es mucho más de lo que imaginaba

(bridge)
(coro 2x)
