I found this video in youtube, a live performance of the "Para Siempre" song. It's impressive how a 68 year old has such a voice, enjoy.

The Latino in me
Ok, I will fess up to something pretty big for me. I've been watching two mexican soap operas. There it is, I've fallen for most cliche part of being a latino. The acting is fine, considering that like in every spanish soap opera ever made, everything is a big deal from the color of the curtains which can lead to an assassination of an interior decorator (trust me, this CAN happen) to a married guy cheating on his mistress with his wife.
"Fuego en la Sangre" which translates to "Fire in the Blood" is currently my favorite. It has a very nice theme to it, to the point that I downloaded the MP3.
Here it is.
I've decided to share the translation of "Para Siempre", it's just such a great song that I got to. After all you may not speak spanish, heh.
"A good love is worth more, than 1000 sack of gold.
A good love is worth more, that is why you're my treasure.
Next to you, I feel worthy and I'm happy with you.
You mean a lot to me, I'm telling you with my heart.
Let us forget the past, and what people may say.
The truth is that I love you, and that you'll love me forever.
Let us forget the past, let's live the present.
What matters is that you love me, and that I'll love you forever.
A great love is worth more, when it grows in forgiveness.
Today I know the tears to strengthen our hearts.
Let us forget the past, and what people may say.
The truth is that I love you, and that you'll love me forever.
Let us forget the past, let's live the present.
What matters is that you love me, and that I'll love you forever."
It's songs like these (regardless of language) that brings out the romantic in me, perhaps one day you'll find out.
Good night, sweet dreams.

Moonlight dreams
It's been a while since I wrote to you mi amor.
Last night after work my roommate and friend Duane drove us to the beach as he showed me his old place since we were in the area.
I haven't been to a Floridian beach in 8 years, and the last time I was at any beach at night was more than 10 years ago.
The moon was out and the reflection on the sea was breathtaking; I wish you had been there with me, it was a moment to remember. I even told Duane that if I had someone, the view we were enjoying would certainly be something to share with her.
I'm happy on my own, but I feel with you my happiness would multiply a hundred fold. I would hope that I could do the same for you in return and make you feel like the special woman that you are.
Imagine us together on a large beach towel, close to each other, looking at the moon and the sea, with a nice breeze and the sound of the waves... to make an unforgettable moment.
Oh well, perhaps one day, well.. one night.
<3

Remember
I haven't forgotten you my dear. My heart is open for love and pain, for one cannot exist without the other it seems. Maybe I'm crazy, but how can a man know true happiness without experiencing misery to compare both situations?
Closing my eyes I can see your beautiful charming smile and a playful grin which tells me I'm in trouble. The good kind of trouble of course.
I'm learning to swim so I can spend time with you in the pool. Funny that in 38 years I never cared for learning until I thought "what if she likes to swim and wants me to join her?".
I hope you like to ride scooters. This little baby is mine.

Imagine riding to the beach, or to Starbucks on this nice Italian bike with me. Don't worry, I'll lend you my helmet =P
I got one word for you. Picnic.
See you someday, soon hopefully.

Sleeping Beauty
Mi amor, I've dreamed of you last night.
You were laying in a bed next to me, sleeping. Your long soft hair covering most of your face, I wasn't able to see your features and I didn't want to touch you fearing that you may vanish into thin air.
I laid there, watching you sleep, looking at your feminine curves and your breathing. The occasional soft snore brought a grin to my face.
I whispered into your ear soft loving words, to make sure you had pleasant dreams. Were you dreaming of me too? I can only wish, but only god knows.
You're were like the sleeping beauty from the fairy tale, and I wonder... how did I get so lucky? I have no idea.
I looked around hoping to recognize the room but it was too dark and blurry to even know where we were. But I didn't care, you were there with me, mi amor, a sweet dream, very sweet indeed.
Even in such paradise, one must wake. My day has begun, yet I already look forward to the rise of the moon, for I may dream of you again.
Love.
Luis

Dawn
My dear friend, how will we meet?
Shall we bump into each other while walking toward different destinations? will we spot each other glances across a Starbucks? or perhaps be among the many looking for love online through a dating site?
Only god knows. And we will, in time.
I wonder what color your eyes will be and how deep my soul will swim in them. Your smile I feel will bring me joy and happiness. Will we realize our friendship will turn into love, or will life surprise us again as it sweeps us off our feet in our first embrace?
Dawn is the beginning of a new day, a new start. I will love to hold your close as the sun rises, bathing us in it's newborn light. Then I will kiss your soft lips, and tell you... your beauty puts the sun to shame, for it cannot compare to the light you bring into my heart.
Will we last? I don't know. All my past relationships have gone sour, but I'm more mature now, and ready to pull my weight and carry you if need be. I fear losing you, yet we haven't met.
In the nights I cannot sleep, I wonder how many children we will have. I'm hoping for 2, a boy and a girl. Balance I guess. I'm not stranger to changing diapers, just never my own children since I don't have any.
Men offer careers, wealth, financial security and all that society smiles upon... yet few truly offer what I can. My heart on a silver platter. To be lovingly held, or crushed. Such is life, love is blind sometimes.
I don't want my first letter to be too long, for I wish to write more of them and show them to you, when you're ready.
Someone, somewhere... is thinking of me. I hope we meet.
Sincerely.
Luis
