"The Last Time" [OT; mp3, lyrics] |
x-no-archive: yes
As of lately I've had very little to contribute. Oh well.
I translated this months ago, but listened to it again this morning.
It has a certain "ring" to it, to my ears anyway.
Long lines (Castilian-English side to side), so they'll probably
wrap...

Astrud - La última The Last Time
Estribillo: Chorus:
------------ ------------
Para cada cosa hay una vez For every thing there's a time
que es la última which is the last time
------------ ------------
Así que desde que he tenido esta intuición So ever since I had this intuition
ya nada me sucede nothing happens to me
suficientes veces enough times anymore
y cada vez que me repito and every time I repeat myself
me pregunto es esta la última vez que me repito I wonder is this the last time I repeat myself
(estribillo) (chorus)
Ahora estoy haciendo colección Now I'm collecting
de absolutamente todo absolutely everything
y cada vez que me cepillo and everytime I brush my hair
me pregunto es esta la última vez que me cepillo I wonder is this the last time I brush my hair
es la última vez que me pasa un cepillo is this the last time a brush runs through it
(estribillo) (chorus)
Y he decidido prestar mucha atención And I've decided to pay close attention
al doblar las esquinas when turning corners
al decir buenos días when saying good morning
y no vengas con eufemismos and drop your euphemisms
tú deberías hacer lo mismo you should do the same
(estribillo) (chorus)
Para cierta cosa hay una vez For a certain thing there's a time
y para otras cosas otra vez and for other things another time
Y cada vez que me pregunto And every time I wonder
me pregunto es esta la última vez que me pregunto I wonder is this the last time I wonder

Who can blame you? Along with whatever various and sundry problems that
bring you to such a group, you also have bombs going off in your country.
I salute you for even getting out of bed!

If you're referring to the bomb that went off early this morning, it's
gone mostly unnoticed (as a matter of fact I was unaware of it till you
called me upon it). That was a little thing. We had a chain of
explosions in diferent cities during Constitution Day (again not
powerful devices), THAT was something we would care to consider.
I'm perhaps wrong about it, but I'm having this feeling that the media
over there focuses only on the negative of what happens over here. Did
they also tell about today's three new detentions of people suspicious
of being connected to islamic terrorism? There are a few arrests every
week, you know... good news AFAIAC. Did they cover the recent defeat
of the USA tennis team by Spain (Davis cup)? Not good news from your pov
but neither BAD news like bombs going off. Did they cover the new
micro-satellite? The foetus that was operated (succesfuly) so he could
breath once he was born? I could go on and on... I mean, not everything
that goes on around here are bombs going off.

It's not just the US media, though, is it? Ours covers tragedy better
than good news, and home news, or at least, news about Britons abroad,
gets priority over foreign. The television news was very limited to what
it could consider, due to the time it had rather than what they would
have chosen to cover, perhaps. I don't watch it these days.
Still, if you choose your newspaper well, and add BBC web-news (probably
available in Spanish), you can get quite a lot of foreign news. The
problem for a lot of people is that they are satisfied with what's
spoon-fed to them, and don't go and look for what they're missing. Or
maybe they don't know they are missing things. What a terrible thought!

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

But that's all reasonable. What bothers me is the *suspicion* (I can't
confirm it) that some media in the USA might be deliberately focusing on
things like terrorism, just to show how bad things are abroad - the War
on Terror must go on, forever! - and especially for "former allies" now
turned to "cowardice" or "appeasament". Even if the "bombings" they
mention don't add up to more than acts of urban vandalism (this time at
least, thank goodness).

Sensationalism, they work with sensationalism, it sells. Selling is what
it is all about, circulation or broadcast market share, the column
inches or the airtime. It's been that way since the mid-19th century.
The US government has been using private media as a propaganda tool
since the Creel Commission (WWI). The "engineering of consent" as the
"essence of the democratic process," is a fascistic belief first
promoted by Edward Bernays of the Committee on Public Information in
the USA during the First World War.
Noam Chomsky came six decades too late.
