Sueños I sing softly in Spanish As sun glistens through my long dark hair I smell familiar colonge I look, but he's not there Mi amigo sonríe a mí As I call his name Butterflies? No, emptiness Always the same Estoy cansada Of endless games Quiero saber Have they any shame Oiga una voz Awakens me from my trance Voices from my radio I get up and dance Bailo But not formally No one's taught me Since I was about three La canción Makes him drift across my mind Mi novio Truely one of a kind I often cry With no avail My tears could make a sea On which you could sail I pray God Don't make me choose between them My bestfriend and my guyfriend If/when their relationship might end Oiga un grito A voice loud and deep Es mi gato Roberto I go back to sleep.... |

Nice job, Bel. I wish I could have gotten all of the Spanish parts, but hey, the mystery behind it actually did something for me. Nice Spanglish. -Allan We used to hate people, now we just make fun of them. It's more effective that way. --KMFDM |

To some extent this is spanglish....We usually refer to Spanglish when somebody uses one word english, one word spanish, and basically a mesh of languages within on sentence, but along with that we use a combination word with both languages. We use "trippiando"...."chillin".....these are two examples......the first word uses the english word "trip"...and adding the other letters "piando"....as an action, and the "chillin"......english word but we say it with a spanish pronounciation. We're weird, what can we say? Anyway nice poem here!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Thanks all for replying I appreciate it much Dopey...I didn't want to say it was Spanish, didn't want to say it was English. It's not been a good 2 weeks and I'm tired, what can I say? Just how things work in this twisted mind of mine.... muchas gracias Bel |
