Though separated by time and geography and across diverse settings and venues, these crowds were united in their passionโ€”singing every word to every song in perfect English. It was truly inspiring. โ €โ € โ €โ € Eventually, I asked myself: If they can sing along in a second or third language, why canโ€™t I meet them halfway? So I enlisted my best friend and occasional collaborator Alan Del Rio Ortiz to work on translating these lyrics, tweaking here and there for melodic reasons, making every effort to stay true to the song at hand without sacrificing accuracy. ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ, ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐˜.โ €โ € ย โ €โ € ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐—”๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜… ๐——๐—ฎ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒโ €โ € โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #houstonvinyl #houstonvinylstore #houstonrecordstore #indieisbetter #cactusmusic #shoplocalhouston #shopsmallhouston #StVincent
