La Venda
Miki Núñez

Te compran porque te vendes
Te vendes porque te sobras
Te pierdes porque hay camino
Te digo: hay otras cosas
Te sales porque te quieres
Te quieres, tu mente en forma
Te eliges porque hay camino
Te digo: hay otras cosas

La venda ya cayó y solo quedó la alegría
La venda ya cayó y empezarán nuevos días
La venda ya cayó avivando fantasías
La venda ya cayó y serás como querías

Te rezas porque confías
Te sientes que ya tenías
Te vives, alto voltaje
Te traje buenas noticias
Te vales y ya no fuerzas
Te vives y te interesas
Te saltas, no quedan normas
Ahora, la vida loca

La venda ya cayó y solo quedó la alegría
La venda ya cayó y empezarán nuevos días
La venda ya cayó avivando fantasías
La venda ya cayó y serás como querías

Lo que ere, lo que ere, ere, ere, e
Lo que…


The Blindfold

They buy you because you are for sale
You are for sale because you are smug
You get lost because there are roads
I tell you — there is something else
You go because you love yourself
You love yourself, your mind is in shape
You choose yourself because there are roads
I tell you — there is something else

The blindfold fell already and only joy remained
The blindfold fell already and new days will start
The blindfold fell already, stirring up fantasies
The blindfold fell already and you’ll become what you wished

You pray to yourself because you trust in you
You feel like you already got it
You live yourself, high voltage
I brought you the good news
You rock but you ain’t shoving
You live yourself and you got self-care
You skip yourself, no rules left
And now, la vida loca

The blindfold fell already and only joy remained
The blindfold fell already and new days will start
The blindfold fell already, stirring up fantasies
The blindfold fell already and you’ll become what you wished

What you are, what you are, are, e
What you are, what you are, are, e

It is interesting hearing a child learn to speak and particularly interesting for me as I am learning a language (Spanish) myself. My granddaughter Julia has two languages to learn - Spanish from her mother and English from the rest of her current world. She also makes up words of her own to fill in the gaps, so the result is a blend of Spanglish toddler talk. It’s quite creative and often quite funny. Here are some of her words: Buo - is milk (hot or cold). I don’t know where this one came from. The Spanish for milk is ‘leche’ so there’s no obvious link there. Wei-wei - that’s her word for me, grandad. I think it came from ‘abuelo’ the Spanish word for grandad and I think she picked up on the ‘welo’ sound within the word. I rather like being Wei-wei Ma-ma, not to be confused with Mammy  - is what she calls Margaret. The ‘ma’ sound, probably comes from the ‘ma’ in grandma. Often Julia shouts it very loudly indeed. Wei-wei - Nina - is her word for grandma Nidia and (just

Classes start again in September

Classes will start again on September 19 th , 10am to noon at the Copeland Centre, Bretton. Subs will be £6 per term (to pay for the hall rental) and £1 for printing and pens. Tea and coffee will be available at break, with the usual contribution to keep funds topped up. This has been 10p per tea and 15p per coffee. I believe that Anita will co-ordinate our drinks fund. Biscuits are by kind donation, with birthdays and holidays a good excuse to donate! Anyone in the current class who wishes to continue will have a place reserved if they have put their name down. New people will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. The book we will be using is Sueños World Spanish (Book 1). You might also find Collins Easy Learning Spanish Grammar and Collins Easy Learning Spanish Verbs useful companions. These are all available secondhand on Amazon or at high street bookshops. We have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1676535839023535/ which contains dates,
