It's Maaagic!

I am not the first, neither the last nor the only but it is wonderful when I can translate the music in my mind to real notes and sound in the outer world. It is the magic of memory when I know by heart the tune and got the sparkle of a key for my fingers to devein a song and make it up again, this time for everyone to hear.

The other side of the magic, is that if asked, I can't tell for sure the notes to thread the song but my ears and my fingers remember as soon as they hold this mean of joy.

I used to do it to have fun and company when I was in junior high. I am so happy that I still have the ability after many years I forgot it.

Pas-cuack, Pas-cuack *

Salta a la vida el conejo de Angora.
Busca en su nido los huevos que esperaba.
Necio en perseguirlos donde no están.

Pas-cuak, pas-cuak. Se pavonea un pato al pasar.

*****************************

The rabbit from Angora jumps into life.
He looks for the eggs he hoped in his nest.
Fool in persecuting them where they are not.

Pas-cuak, pas-cuak. A duck shows off as he goes by


* Pascua is Easter in English.

Life is being made in "Spanglish" / La vida se está haciendo en "Spanglish"

It is not real to fake it. We dream at night about our beautiful Spanish, its amazing richness, its romantic rithm, its taste and soul but in the morning, we mix English! How's that?

I wonder what happens in the Spanish mother land but at least in Mexico's Spanish speakers country, it seems people just love to speak Spanglish. Don't deny it, just think about it. The economical, geographical and technical reasons are obvious; what troubles me somewhat are the cultural reasons but anyway. This is not a criticizing essay. Heavier influence is when you're surrounded by English (And about that, we may have a bigger talk). The point is to announce this oasis will be posted in English as well to reflect such circunstance. The native langague fron whom rhe text is born, will be first in the line.

So practice English, practice Spanish and go on.

No es real fingirlo. Soñamos en la noche acerca de nuestro hermoso español, su impresionante riqueza, su ritmo, su alma y sabor pero en la mañana, le mezclamos inglés! Cómo es eso?
Me pregunto que pasa en la tierra madre del español pocrque al menos en el país de hispanoparlantes de México, parece que a la gente le encanta hablar spanglish. No lo nieguen, solo piénselo. Las razones económicas, geográficas y técnicas son obvias; lo que me preocupa de alguna manera son las razones culturales pero bueno... Este no es un ensayo de crítica. Mayor influencia es cuando estás rodeado de inglés (y sobre esto podríamos tener una plática mayor). El punto es anunciar que en este oásis se posteará en Inglés para reflejar tal circunstancia. El lenguaje original del que nace el texto, será el pimero en presentarse.

Asi que practiquen inglés, practiquen español y continuen.
