Luis Fonsi

photo's from here
Now to quite different music style. Luis Alfonso Rodríguez López-Cepero known as his artistical name Luis Fonsi is a Puerto Rican singer, musician, lyricist and composer. He also has acted in tv serie Corazones al limite ("Hearts to the limit") and got and won lots of awards and prizes.

The songs of Luis Fonsi are mostly Spanish pop ballads.

This song Llueve por dentro ("It rains inside") I heard once and I got caught. I don't know why for this song isn't so different to other pop ballads. But when I listen to this I'm sadly happy...

¿Que puedo hacer? 
Llueve por dentro
Y el corazon me duele y se deshace
Pienso en ti 
Quiero volar y remontar esta tristeza
Para escaparme 

Quiero vivir por siempre junto a ti
No importa nada 
Y olvida este silencio que se roba mis mañanas, 
Libera y acordala

*Hoy llueve por dentro de mí, en mí 
Atravieso el cielo por ti
Se inunda el corazon mientras te pienso
Cuando tú no estas llueve por dentro *

¿Que puedo hacer si tu mirada se clava en mí?
Luego me arranca el alma 
No hay adios
Solo hay entre tu y yo una distancia 
Que nos separa

Quiero reir como lo hicimos esa madrugada
Y poco a poco rescatar el sol de tus mañanas
Y el viento entre alas

*Hoy llueve por dentro...*

Me es imposible amarte de lejos, de lejos
Pero siento que muero si no te tengo

*Hoy llueve por dentro... *


IT RAINS INSIDE
What can I do?
It rains inside
And the heart hurts me and commands
I think about you
I want to fly and overcome this sadness
For to escape

I want to live forever with you
Nothing is important
And to forget this silence that steals my mornings
To free and to concur it

*Today it rains inside me, in me
I cross the sky for you
Heart inundates when i think about you
When you are not, it rains inside *

What can I do if your look nails me?
Later it pulls out my soul
There's no goodbye
Only a distance between me and you
That separates us

I want to laugh like we used to do in the dawn
And little by little rescue the sun of your mornings
And the wind between your wings

*Today it rains...*

It's impossible to love you from far, fom far
But I feel that I die without you

*Today it rains...*


I saw Luis Fonsi in Madrid in summer 2011

MINAPENDAWE
(H. Lotti & Will Tura)

Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe

Minapendawe has nothing to eat
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet
Still she keeps going on drying out under the burning sun
Searching food to survive to keep her children alive
Will she find it in time
Or will the desert just take another life away
Will she get through the day
*Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing - her life *

Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe
Minapendawe has nothing to eat
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet
She remembers the time
Fruit was juicy 'cause nature was kind
When they had to run away life got harder every day
Bones now bleach in the sun
So many people she loved and so much hope that is gone
But she must go on

*Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing
Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way someone can help today
And maybe change just a little thing - her life *

LA HISTORIA DE JUAN
(Juanes)

Esta es la historia de Juan

El niño que nadie amó
Que por las calles creció

Buscando el amor bajo el sol
Su madre lo abandonó
Su padre lo maltrató
Su casa fue un callejón
Su cama un cartón su amigo Dios
Juan preguntó por amor
Y el mundo se lo negó
Juan preguntó por honor
Y el mundo le dió deshonor
Juan preguntó por perdón
Y el mundo lo lastimó
Juan preguntó y preguntó

Y el mundo jamás lo escuchó

El sólo quizo jugar

El sólo quizo soñar

El sólo quizo amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
El sólo quizo volar

El sólo quizo cantar

El sólo quizo amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó

Tan fuerte fue su dolor

Que un día se lo llevó
Tan fuerte fue su dolor

Que su corazón se apagó
Tan fuerte fue su temor

Que un día solo lloró
Tan fuerte fue su temor

Que un día su luz se apagó

El sólo quizo jugar

El sólo quizo soñar

El sólo quizo amar

Pero el mundo lo olvidó

El sólo quizo volar

El sólo quizo cantar

El sólo quizo amar

Pero el mundo lo olvidó


THE STORY OF JUAN

This is the story of Juan

The boy who was loved by no-one

He grew up on the streets

Looking for love under the sun

He was abandoned by his mother

He was abused by his father

His home was a lane

His bed was a box, his friend God


Juan asked for love

And the world rejected him

Juan asked for honor

And the world gave him dishonor

Juan asked for forgiveness

And the world hurt him

Juan asked and asked

And the world never listened to him

He just wanted to play

He just wanted to dream

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

He just wanted to fly

He just wanted to sing

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him


So strong was his pain

That one day it took him

So strong was his pain

That his heart stopped

So strong was his fear

That one day he just cried

So strong was his fear

That one day his light turned off


He just wanted to play

He just wanted to dream

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him

He just wanted to fly

He just wanted to sing

He just wanted to love

But the world forgot him
