Hasta Siempre, Mi Amor (Until Forever, My Love)

Hasta siempre, amor,
pasarás de otro brazo
y dolerá el fracaso
igual que hoy.
Farewell, love,
you’ll move to another arm
and the failure will hurt
same as today.

Hasta siempre, amor,
corazón como el mío,
que compartió tu hastío,
no encontrarás.Y entre la gente buscarás
la mano amiga que te di
y sólo así comprenderás
que por quererte te perdí.
Farewell, love,
heart like mine,
which shared your distaste,
you won’t find.And among people you’ll seek
the friendly hand I gave you
and only then you’ll understand
that for loving you I lost you

Hasta siempre, amor,
Hoy me sangra el recuerdo
como una espina nueva
del corazón.
Hasta siempre, amor,
cuando sueñes conmigo
en las noches de frío
ya no estaré.
Farewell, love,
Today the recall bleeds
as a new spine
of the heart.
Farewell, love,
when you dream about me
on cold nights
I will not longer be there.

Y no me llames, si me ves
a mi también con otro amor,
porque es inútil esperar
si la esperanza ya murió.
And don’t call me, if you see me
with another love too,
because it is useless to expect
if hope already died.

2020

Ah 2020. You have been upended in the most ridiculous way possible by a virus that has destroyed every single activity we do for fun, leisure, pleasure, necessity, survival. Because, humans. Was so looking forward to a year of dancing starting with the Taiwan Valentine's Tango Marathon, leading into STM v5, London, Portugal and maybe BA by the end of the year. Guess what! ALL GONE, DESTROYED. It has been a year since I went to a marathon/event. I am probably the saddest I have been when it comes to the dance front. 11 years ago I made it such a part of my identity that it has accompanied me through the years of visiting different cities for work, for holiday, for weddings, for connections, for reunions with exes, for meeting new interests. Shaped my 20's like nothing else has and only grows stronger year after year. 2020 was the reset required. Mentally, emotionally. This relationship with Tango remains my strongest and most developed of my many relationships with many a...

Simple

After the countless videos, watching the performances by passing Tango teachers, performances by stage Tango dancers, sitting and absorbing Milongas, the one couple that sticks in my mind has to be T and his fiance who met through Tango in Argentina. Their seamless blending, the fact that she didn't even need to be wearing shoes and their swapping of roles. Even though I was exposed to this early on the clueless beginnings of Tango, you could already appreciate the intimacy between the two. In hindsight after a bit more experience, it becomes even clearer that, that would be the ultimate Tango experience. It's like staring at something without the tools to understand it, then later when you come back with the tools in hand, it hits you, "ah hah!" that's what it is! It's like being told, "this will be useful in life later, trust me", and staring at math sets that have no correlation with your life, until later when you're facing a job assessme...

I'm...Back?

Honestly, it has been a struggle to get back into Tango. I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out why, but it might just be a combination of having disconnected from it in my regular weekly schedule because of COVID, same COVID making it impossible for me to travel to other countries to dance and join Marathons, a number of years since starting and feeling stagnated, and honestly just feeling a waning interest overall. There is still motivation there, it isn't entirely gone, but life has gotten into the way. The using Tango as a bit of an emotional crutch has also been replaced by a real life human being, so that is yet another reason for the increasingly ambivalent attitude I seem to be having to the dance nowadays. All that being said, I did just fly to Singapore this weekend for Tomas workshop and because damnit, I am fan #1 in Malaysia, unabashedly! Time to see if it's time to kickstart the organising again!
