A little story about how i started singing in quarantine times.

By Shattered | cesar cantante | 11 Jan 2021

Hey guys! I hope you are having a nice day, i'm still waiting for a friend that will borrow a bandurria for my new video, since mine died :c (btw, i made a crowdfund to buy a new one, cause they are expensive :c link: https://www.fundsurfer.com/crowdfund/a-new-bandurria ), so in the meantime, let's do a little tour through all the vocal covers i did chronologically :v

It all started in the middle of the pandemic, last year, when i was bored at home because of the lockdowns, i couldn't even work because of it, so i did what i could to not get insane: Music (or at least trying to, lol). At first, i tried to do it by myself, but i was too embarrased to show it to people so i gathered a group of friends (neither them or me are musicians) so no one knew how to start, and i took the iniciative, and started to conduct and to create the voices for all of them (and myself ofc). It took some time at first, cause no one knew how do this through zoom, so i started to record all the voices and sent to them, so they can replicate them whith their voices.

A couple of weeks later... we had our first song, and we posted on YouTube expecting nothing.

It was fine, our families and friends watched it and congratulate us, as expected, but then... something unexpected happened.

He is the composer of the song we covered, in english says something like: "Dear friends, wonderful interpretation and congratulations. It is really a proud as author of the cueca". Of course... we hyped... a lot! So we started to do more, giving ideas of which song should do, how to record... stuff like that.

Then... The lockdowns started to end in some places, so there wasn't the same time and energy to do the recording (because of work), so we took a long time to record the video and edit it until finally we made it.

Then, stage 3 started, and the recordings stopped, no one had time to do anything, it was a couple of sad weeks for me, i was getting used to work with my friends and singing... So i wondered... What if i do it by myself in the meantime?

I said to myself "Fuck it, let's do it! ", and i started recording... hard. I did 2 songs first, but i uploaded them one per week

The first one

The second one: (youtube blocked this one because of copyright)

Lockdowns started again, so everyone went back home

Finally we had time to do 1 song and half of another. I was so happy that finally we can do things together, and we did one of my favourite songs.

I really love this song.

Well, now that we are about to go to quarantine and lockdowns (again -.-) I did a few more covers

This one (youtube reinstated this one a few days back -.-)

This one

And this one.

I have 2 more ready, waiting for the video, one by myself and the other with my friends.

That's the story, shortened, but that's it. I hope you enjoyed it.

If you want more stories like this, feel free to subsribe.

Love you all.

Oh, right, in case you wanted them... here are the lyrics :v

Señora

In spanish:

Señora la estoy amando,
sin medir las consecuencias señora
sin medir las consecuencias.

Sus besos son los culpables,
de esta tan loca experiencia señora,
señora estoy amando.

Cuando estoy en sus brazos
señora señora no existe mundo.
Solo este sentimiento de amor profundo señora,
cuando estoy en sus brazos no existe mundo.

De amor profundo si señora señora, es mi pecado
el sentirme de usted enamorado

no ser su amante eterno, será un infierno.

In english:

Lady I'm loving you

without measuring the consequences lady

without measuring the consequences.

Her kisses are the culprits,

of this crazy experience lady,

lady i am loving.

When i'm in your arms

lady lady there is no world.

Just this feeling of deep love lady,

when I am in your arms there is no world.

Of deep love yes lady lady, it is my sin

feeling in love with you

not be your eternal lover, it would be hell.

Amiga Mia

In spanish

Como puedo, como puedo ser tu amigo
si lo que, si lo que quiero es tu amor
si lo que , si lo que quiero es tu amor

mil razón, mil razones es mi cordura
no entiende, no entiende mi corazon
como puedo,como puedo ser tu amigo

la amistad se termina
y esto es muy cierto
cuando quedan amores
al descubierto
la amistad se termina
y esto es muy cierto

al descubierto ay si
en primavera

el deseo en silencio
lo que me queda

brindo por la verdad o la amistad

In English

How can I, how can I be your friend

friendship ends and this is very true

when love is exposed,

friendship ends and this is very true

when exposed, and if in spring

the desire in silence what remains

I toast to the truth or friendship

Muñequita morena

In spanish:

Muñequita tu nombre en silencio
Tu boca chiquita yo quiero besar
Princesita la novia del viento
Cuerpito moreno yo te quiero amar

Angelito me mata tu ausencia
Me hiere tu olvido
No puedo vivir si no estas
Esperando me digas tus cosas
Despacito al oído
Te voy a cantar
Te voy a cantar... oohh

Cuando veo danzando a las rosas
Con música al viento
Te juro eres tu
Y si escucho asomar al día
Al rio cantando
Su voz eres tu

Angelito me mata tu ausencia
Me hiere tu olvido
No puedo vivir si no estas
Esperando me digas tus cosas
Despacito al oído
Te voy a cantar, te voy a cantar
Te voy a cantar.

In english

Little doll your name in silence

Your little mouth I want to kiss

Little princess the bride of the wind

Little brown body I want to love you

Little angel your absence kills me

Your forgetfulness hurts me

I can't live if you're not here

Waiting for you to tell me your things

Slowly in your ear

I'm going to sing to you

I'm going to sing to you ... oohh

When I see the roses dancing

With music in the wind

I swear it's you

And if I hear the day appear

The river singing its voice is you

Little angel your absence kills me

Your forgetfulness hurts me

I can't live if you're not here

Waiting for you to tell me your things

Slowly in your ear

I'm going to sing you.

Ausencia

In Spanish:

El amor amado, siempre vuela lejos
Como una paloma libre por el cielo
Tantas veces, quise ser igual al viento
Llegar a sus labios y robarle un beso

Preso de ilusiones, esperanza y miedo
Vivo encadenado a este sentimiento
Para verme libre con sus alas vuelo
A mi corazón le basta con su pecho

Al final, por fuerte que estén los vientos
Soltarán, amarras todos mis sueños
En el puerto quedará la tristeza y el dolor
Que me da la ausencia del amor, amado amor

Bajo el faro antiguo a media luz la veo
En el callejón romántico del pueblo
De repente al mundo se queda en silencio
Todo es tan hermoso pero es solo un sueño

Al final, por fuerte que estén los vientos
Soltarán, amarras todos mis sueños
En el puerto quedará la tristeza y el dolor
Que me da la ausencia del amor, amado amor

Amado amor

In English:

Beloved love always flies away

Like a free dove in the sky

So many times, I wanted to be equal to the wind

Reach her lips and steal a kiss

Prisoner of illusions, hope and fear

I live chained to this feeling

To see me free with his wings I fly

My heart is enough with his chest

In the end, however strong the winds are

They will let go, you tie all my dreams

Sadness and pain will remain in the port

That the absence of love gives me, beloved love

Under the old lighthouse in half light I see her

In the romantic alley of the town

Suddenly the world goes silent

Everything is so beautiful but it's just a dream

In the end, however strong the winds are

They will let go, you tie all my dreams

Sadness and pain will remain in the port

That the absence of love gives me, beloved love

Beloved love

Seremos uno

In spanish:

Cariño, seremos uno
con amor de sangre ardiente amor de mi alma,
con amor de sangre ardiente amor de mi alma.

Seremos,
cuan bello eclipse,
sol y luna avasallante amor de mi alma
cariño seremos uno amor de mi alma.

Negrita de mi vida,
mi alma robaste
amarte hasta la muerte, jamás dejarte amor de mi alma
negrita de mi vida mi alma robaste amor de mi alma.

Jamás dejarte, Ay sí
eres aroma
que mi corazón siente cuando te añora amor de mi alma,
amarte hasta la muerte será mi suerte.

in english

Darling, we will be one

with love of burning blood love of my soul,

Deja que salga la luna

In spanish:

Deja que salga la Luna
Deja que se meta el Sol
Deja que caiga la noche
Pa' que empiece nuestro amor

Deja que las estrellitas
Me llenen de inspiración
Para decirte cositas
Muy bonitas, corazón

Yo sé que no hay en el mundo
Amor como el que me das
Y sé que noche con noche
Va creciendo más y más

Y sé que noche con noche
Va creciendo más y más

Cuando estoy entre tus brazos
Siempre me pregunto yo
Cuánto me debía el destino
Que contigo me pagó

Por eso es que ya mi vida
Toda te la entrego a ti
Tú que me diste en un beso
Lo que nunca te pedí

Yo sé que no hay en el mundo
Amor como que el me das
Y sé que noche con noche
Va creciendo más y más

Y sé que noche con noche
Va creciendo más y más

Deja que salga la Luna

In English:

Let the moon rise

Let the sun go down

Let the night fall

So that our love begins

Let the stars

Fill me with inspiration

To tell you things

Very pretty, sweetheart

I know that there is not in the world

Love like the one you give me

And I know that night after night

It grows more and more

And I know that night after night

It grows more and more

When i'm in your arms

I always wonder

How much fate owed me

That with you he paid me

That's why my life

I give it all to you

You who gave me a kiss

What I never asked you

I know that there is not in the world

Love how you give me

And I know that night after night

It grows more and more

And I know that night after night

It grows more and more

Let the moon rise

La petenera

In Spanish:

La sirena esta encantada
porque desobedeció
no más por una bañada
que en Jueves Santo se dio
y a la semana sagrada.

La sirena de la mar
me dicen que es muy bonita
yo la quisiera encontrar
pa' besarle su boquita
pero como es animal
no se puede naditita.

Una vez yo me embarqué
y en una barquita inglés
al pasar por Alemania
me dijo un sabio francés
en la costa americana
y alumbra el sol al revés.
