A friend shared this link with me of a new Costa Rican Band, Satélites de Papel. I could only pick out words here and there... anybody that can write out the Spanish, I'd love to work through the lyrics for vocab practice. I see there is a free download.

Quizás algo tuvo que pasar

De pronto el cielo se empezó a nublar

Después de todo por lo que pasamos juntos

En un momento todo se va a acabar

Lo que pasó

Pudo ser algo mejor

Lo que pasó

Pudo ser algo mejor

Veo esa lágrima que baja de tus ojos y no sé

Por qué me cuesta tanto entender que es el adiós

Esos momentos que nunca voy a olvidar

En un momento todo se va a acabar

Lo que pasó

Pudo ser algo mejor.

Katy:

Si te gusta la música en español o quieres practicar español a través de la música, te recomiendo escuchar música más suave y relajada, como la de José Luis Perales, quien, por cierto, estará en Costa Rica el próxima sábado. =)

Si, yo ya me apunté. =P

Sé que no tiene nada que ver con el tema, pero últimamente me llama mucho la atención todo lo que dice "Costa Rica". =D

Espero que esto no parezca muy disparatado. Es inusual en mí este tipo de publicaciones, pero estoy muy emocionado. =) - -cae-, Oct 31, 2012
Hola amigo..good to see you~ - rac1, Nov 1, 2012
Thanks Caefuego! I listened to the music and it was nice to have the words. I love all kinds of music and it seems you will see this music live in Costa Rica? That is exciting. - katydew, Nov 1, 2012

Yes, thanks for sharing. I've been following a lot of Spanish language pop/rock stuff and this is a nice addition. MP3s not on Amazon yet, unfortunately (just checked, since I was going to buy them) Maybe I'll find them elsewhere.

Quizás algo tuvo que pasar - Maybe something had to happen

De pronto el cielo se empezó a nublar - Suddenly heaven started to get cloudy

Después de todo por lo que pasamos juntos - After all that happened to us together

En un momento todo se va a acabar - In a moment everything was about gone

Lo que pasó - That which happened

Pudo ser algo mejor - Could have been something better

Lo que pasó - That which happened

Pudo ser algo mejor - Could have been something better.

Veo esa lágrima que baja de tus ojos y no sé - I see that tear that falls from your eyes and I don't know

Por qué me cuesta tanto entender que es el adiós - Why it cost me so much to understand that this is good-bye

Esos momentos que nunca voy a olvidar - Those moments that I will never forget

En un momento todo se va a acabar - In a moment , everything was just about gone.

Lo que pasó - What happened

Pudo ser algo mejor. - Could have been something better.

Here's my attempt at the translation. Anybody want to add, subtract or change mine, I am open. Try it yourself. - katydew, Oct 31, 2012
"Por qué me cuesta tanto entender..." = "Why is this so hard for me to understand..." - -cae-, Nov 1, 2012
"En un momento todo se va a acabar" is more like "In a moment everything is going to end". - -cae-, Nov 1, 2012
I have the doubt if you should say "somewhat better" instead of "something better", because there "algo" means "a little, a bit". - -cae-, Nov 1, 2012
Thanks for the comments Caefuego. Very helpful. - katydew, Nov 1, 2012

Just a couple of thoughts ...

en un momento todo se va a acabar - In a moment everything 'is going to end'

lo que pasó - what happened

por qué me cuesta tanto entender que es el adiós - Why is it so hard for me to understand that this is good-bye

That makes sense. - katydew, Oct 31, 2012
I saw that pasamos juntos can be 'spent together". Any thoughts on a better translation there? - katydew, Oct 31, 2012
how about - 'after all that we've been through together'? - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 31, 2012
