¡Viva viernes!     (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)

La fecha es el trece (13) de enero del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is January 13, 2023.)

One song that I cannot sit still through is Oye Mi Amor (Hey, My Love) by the Mexican band Maná. This classic is very fun to sing along to.

Let’s check out some of the lines:

“Si tu supieras que soy sincero” (If only you knew that I’m sincere). 

“Yo soy derecho y no te fallo” (I’m upright, and I won’t fail you). 

“Si tu supieras lo que te quiero” (If only you knew how much I want you). 

“Podría darte todo hasta mis ojos” (I could give you everything, even my eyes).

“Pero tu ya tienes otro” (But you already have another).

“Un tipo frío y aburrido” (A cold and boring guy).

“Un tonto que es un reprimido” (An idiot who is repressed).

“Eso no te queda a ti” (That doesn’t suit you).

“No te va” (It doesn’t fit you).

“Oye mi amor” (Listen, my love).

“No me digas que no” (Don’t tell me no).

“Y vamos juntando las almas” (And let’s go join our souls).

¡Bailemos y cantemos! (Let’s dance and sing!) Follow along with the letra (lyrics).

¡Que tengas un viernes veraz!     (May you have a truthful Friday!)

L. A. Feliz
