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.

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 The using Tango as a bit of an emotional crutch has also been replaced by a real life human being, so that is yet another reason for the increasingly ambivalent attitude I seem to be having to the dance nowadays.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!

Malaysia Prelims & Tango Festival - Musings

Off the back of a weekend that required me to leave work early and sleep cray hours to finally get back into a semi-human mode of work and sleep. Thoughts? When I first started tango, I jumped straight into a Fire & Ice festival in Ann Arbor January of 2010. That was my first taste of a tango festival which was relatively social and a good scene in hindsight. Coming back to Malaysia I've participated in the KL Festival every single year, Singapore festival twice, Taiwan festival once (24 hour on a whim - fuck it all flight), Shanghai festival once. Other than that the flavour of the day nowadays is definitely geared more toward marathons/encuentros, and for a good reason. Festivals in this part of the world are seriously so tipped toward a certain "type" that it is far more worth my money and sanity to go for the social dancing rather than the festival format. Granted, lessons were good, always learning, picking up new things. Competition was, so-so for me, was...

2019

Goals for this Tango year: - Continue to improve leading - Get deeper into the movements and music - Starting again with foundations (feet placement, weight, balance, transfers) Always and forever a noob. Training for the first ASEAN Tango Championships, more about process than outcome really but have always been a competitive spirit so part of me really wants to make an impact. We definitely are not at the stage of winning but if improvement continues then it'll at least make a dent in the social dancing. Training. Why is it that Tango doesn't inspire the same practice spirit that a lot of other activities require (tennis, swimming, basketball, piano..heck anything I've ever picked up, or been dragged into, in my life so far)? Maybe it's the fact and core of what makes it so appealing, that we rest on our laurels because we depend so much on what the partner is giving (50-50) hence...we think that if we give 50 and the other person gives 25 then we might a...
