Cesar - Esclavo y amo (cover)

By Shattered | cesar cantante | 25 Jan 2021

Today guys is finally the day i can show you my latest cover i did some time ago, this time is a bit different, because this time, besides singing, i'm also playing (or at least trying) other instruments, my bandurria is broken (i have to buy a new one, but i don't have the money for buying it), so is a miracle that it worked (not perfectly, but it worked). The cover song i've made is from one of my favourite artists of all times, Javier Solís, an amazing mexican singer.

I started to listen to him because of my mother, she loves to cook listening to "Boleros Rancheros" music since i was a kid, so that became a tradition, and now i listen that kind of music, specially Javier Solís when i cook.

He is a great part of my life, one part of his lirics are really heart-breaking (a lost love kind of topic), and the other part is quite the oppossite (trying to seduce his beloved - been in love kind of topic).

One of my favourite songs from him is "Sombras nada más".

Lyrics in english:

"I would like to cut open my veins slowly, all my blood pouring out at your feet. To be able to show you that I cannot love you more, and then die afterwards.

And yet your blue eyes, blue as the sky and the sea they remain closed to me Without seeing that I am so lost in my loneliness

Shadows, nothing more Caressing my hands Shadows, nothing more, in the trembling of my voice I could be happy and I am dying in life, and between tears living the passage most horrendous of this drama without end. Shadows, nothing more, between your life and my life, Shadows, nothing more, between your love and my love.

How brief was your presence in my weariness How tepid were your hands, your voice, like a firefly came your light, and dispelled the shadows of my corner

And I remained like a trembling elf, without the blue sea of your eyes that have been closed to me Without seeing that I am here, lost in my loneliness.

Shadows, nothing more, caressing my hands Shadows, nothing more, in the trembling of my voice. I could be happy and I am dying in life And between tears living the passage most horrendous of this drama without end

Shadows, nothing more, between your life and my life Shadows, nothing more, between your love and my love..."

The song i covered is called "esclavo y amo" it's a beautiful Bolero that shows the influence his beloved has in him.

Disclamer: just for clarification, i'm not a professional singer, i'm just an amateur singer who doesn't have any formal education about music.

Without further do, and of course apologizing in advance for the low quality:

Cesar - Esclavo y amo

I hope you enjoy it!

Fun fact, i had to re-record like 4 times, because my phone corrupted all my recordings.

Lyrics in spanish

"No sé que tienen tus ojos, no sé que tiene tu boca que domina mis antojos y a mi sangre vuelve loca.

No sé como fui a quererte ni como te fui adorando, me siento morir mil veces cuando no te estoy mirando.

De noche cuando me acuesto a Dios le pido olvidarte y al amanecer despierto tan solo para adorarte.

¿Qué influencia tienen tus labios que cuando me besan tiemblo? Hacen que me sienta esclavo y amo del universo.

De noche cuando me acuesto a Dios le pido olvidarte y al amanecer despierto tan solo para adorarte.

¿Qué influencia tienen tus labios que cuando me besan tiemblo? Hacen que me sienta esclavo y amo del universo."

Lyrics in english:

"I don't know what's with your eyes, I don't know what's with your lips, they control my desires, they drive my blood insane.

I don't know how I started to love you, I don't know how I started to worship you. I feel like dying a thousand times whenever I'm not looking at you.

At night, when I go to bed, I ask God to let me forget you, but at dawn I wake up just to adore you.

What powers do your lips have that every time they kiss me, I tremble? They make me feel slave and master of the Universe.

At night, when I go to bed, I ask God to let me forget you, but at dawn I wake up just to adore you.

What powers do your lips have that every time they kiss me, I tremble? They make me feel slave and master of the Universe."
