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

La fecha es el veintiséis (26) de enero del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is January 26, 2024.)

I want to sprinkle some sunshine on your week with Uruguan group No Te Va Gustar’s Tan Lejos (So Far Away).

“Todos nos vemos buscando, bien o mal, una salida en el cielo” (We all see ourselves searching for, well or poorly, an exit in the sky).

“Adentro llueve y parece que nunca va a parar” (It’s raining inside and it seems that it will never stop),

“Y va a parar” (And it’s going to stop).

“Una sonrisa se ve reflejada en un papel” (A smile is seen reflected on a paper),

“Y se te empañan los ojos con esas caras diciendo que todo va a estar bien” (And your eyes well up with those faces saying that everything will be fine),

“Y va a estar bien” (And it’s going to be fine),

“Cantando a pesar de las llamas” (Singing despite the flames).

¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!) You can sing along to la letra (the lyrics).

¡Que tengas un viernes verdadero!    (May you have a true Friday!)

L. A. Feliz
