Tu Palabras y la noche (Your words and the night)

 Apenas suspiró tu encanto,
apenas floreció tu amor,
perfume de ilusión dejaste en mi pesar,
recuerdo de una noche y nada más.
Mi ensueño se quedó en la dicha
y nunca te diré adiós,
un beso de pasión, partiste sin amar
y el claro de tu ausencia tan mortal.

Cuando te veo pasar indiferente de amor,
la risa es pobre disfraz de mi tristeza,
después te alejas y ya mi pensamiento
revive tus palabras y la noche del encuentro.
Dijiste "siempre serás para mi vida el amor",
palabras de tu emoción que ya murieron.
Flor de un día, tu perfume,
siempre embriaga a mi corazón.

Y todo no fue más que un beso,
encanto que plasmó mi amor.
Después al despertar, la vida sin color
es mezcla de dulzura y de dolor.
En vano llamaré tu nombre
ya nunca escucharé tu voz
distancia de los dos, camino sin final,
y el sueño que no espeja en tu mirar.
 Just sighed your charm, 
flourished just your love, 
illusion perfume left on my sorrow, 
I remember one night and nothing else. 
My dream was left in this 
and you never say goodbye, 
a kiss of passion, you left without loving 
and clear of your absence so deadly. 

When I see you passing indifferent love, 
laughter is poor disguise my sadness, 
and then you go away and my thoughts 
words and relive your night meeting. 
You said "you'll always be my life for love" 
words of your emotion and died. 
Flower of a day, your perfume 
always intoxicates my heart. 

And it was just a kiss, 
charm that shaped my love. 
After waking, the colorless life 
is mixture of sweetness and pain. 
In vain I call your name 
I'll never hear your voice 
distance of the two dead end, 
sleep and not mirrored in your eyes.

Recap 2019

Well well well, here we come again to the end of another Tango year in 2019. Granted, this year was a lot more muted for me, just one Tango Prelims Championship, one Fame Tango Weekend extravaganza, one Tango marathon (shit, just one?!). This years tango centered very much around home, no crazy travels (thanks to change in job), no multi-country tango events (thanks to no budget + no time), a smattering of lessons. But internally, centeredness, duende. Next year, Taipei Tango Weekend, Singapore Tango Marathon + Lisbon for food, travels and Tango. Where is my tango this year? 10 years since that fateful day running to Michigan Union in shorts and t-shirt with flipflops, hair wet from a swim on a balmy end of September day, 3 to 4 weeks into the new semester. Not knowing this would kickstart one of my greatest passions in this life. The one that brings me into the world of friendships, arguments, travels and meetings. All sorts of people, friends, acquaintances, annoyances. The ...

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!

Egos

I have been shifting focus internally all over the place recently. Sometimes I wish this conscious incompetence would just go away for a while, so I can shut up the critic in my head that seems to have gotten louder the more I dance. Are you balanced? Did you embellish to that quaver? Why is your rotation on the left so weak? Knees keep banging into the guy! Ochos not feeling supported! Don't hang off him! Disassociate damnit! Left toes also feeling a lot more pain recently. Hello bunions, you can go away now please. Looking forward to KLTF. Had a quick discussion about egos in Tango as I am getting irked by certain people because of this. The ones who think they are "the shit" and where they can barely acknowledge the people who supported them from the start, thinking that they were the only ones responsible for their current outcome. Bullshit. Which only serves to remind myself never to turn into them (at the risk of course, of going the opposite way an...
