La Gran Nueva York

Cesar Quintero from Madrid, Spain



I am 28 years old, a songwriter, recording engineer and IT Consultant on my day job and I'm very probably Chris's biggest fan in Spain. I started pursuing the musical career but switched temporarily (don't know for how long) to IT consultancy. My band's name is Atlantis and someday I'll return... :). My most valuable treasures are (in this order, sorry Chris) Kitty (my wife) and our little kitty (this time's for real), our little cat Bolita (little fur ball in spanish). AND then my 12 strings acoustic guitar gently autographed by CdeB. (Note: he knew that in Spanish Cesar is written with an accent on the "e", which not even I usually write!). Kind and wise... good fellow! ;). I'm one of the oldest list members, and even though I don't post too much, I've always considered the list as a "big family" hosted (I wish this were true) by our "Dad" Chris de Burgh. Chris, if you're reading this, give Spanish a try!

LA GRAN NUEVA YORK
(Davison-Quintero)

Aun te veo aquí, tras el amanecer
Mientras siento el sol brillar
La noche paso, mientras hablabamos
Y ahora tu debes marchar

Siempre has sido tu como amigo el mejor
Siempre estabas para mi
Y si te sientes mal en la gran Nueva York
Echa a andar, yo estare alli

Se que hay gente que no tendra el valor
Y otros que ni lo intentaran
Pero otros luchan hoy por un mundo mejor
Y entre ellos tu estas

En mi sueño dos huellas dejabamos
En la playa, junto al mar
Y cuando solo unas pisadas yo vi
Tu me debias llevar

Siempre has sido tu como amigo el mejor
Siempre estabas para mi
Y si te sientes mal en la gran Nueva York
Echa a andar, yo estare alli...

THE SNOWS OF NEW YORK
(Literal translation)

I can still see you here, right after the dawn
While I feel the shining sun
The night was gone while we were talking
And now you must go

You have always been the best of friends
You were always there for me
So if you're feeling bad in the big N.Y.
Go ahead, I'll be there...

I know there's people who won't have the courage
And others which won't even try
But others fight for a better world
And among those, I know you are

In my dream we were leaving two footsteps
In the beach, by the sea
And when I only saw one set of them
You must have been carrying me

You have always been the best of friends
You were always there for me
So if you're feeling bad in the big N.Y.
Go ahead, I'll be there...
