[10] Luz En La Oscuridad (Spanish Version of "There's Room In This Heart Tonight") (3:18)

César Quintero Madrid, Spain

Wow, another year, another Tribute CD!... This past year has been quite busy for me, but doing this is one of the things I would not miss for the world…

This year’s song is again in Spanish, because I firmly believe Chris’s music could really expand if translated to other languages. And also this is a real challenge for me, to transform CdeB’s words into mine and keeping the same musicality and meaning. Of all of his songs that I’ve translated, this one is probably my favourite, because it is so actual in every language, for kindness and good humanship is universal… And on top of that, the words actually say almost exactly the same Chris sings!...

The only liberty I’ve taken is in the title… "Luz en la Oscuridad" means "Light in the Dark", and that’s what we’re everyday trying to do to every human being around us, right?...

Love from Spain

Luz En La Oscuridad ("There's Room In This Heart Tonight") Copyright (c) by César Quintero (2005) Cuantas veces te puedo mirar y decirte que nada te doy? Cuantas veces más me volveré a despertar soñando si comerás hoy? Pues puedo verte en la enfermedad acompañarte en tu soledad Y estoy contigo, mi mano aquí está... hay luz en la oscuridad En el mundo somos tantos ya y aún tantos que tienen tan poco y cuando extienden los brazos para algo alcanzar descubren que nadie hay allá... Yo puedo verte en la enfermedad acompañarte en tu soledad Y estoy contigo, mi mano aquí está... hay luz en la oscuridad Hay un parte en cada ser no puede oír,no puede ver, porque no lo quiere hacer... Pero aún me queda la ilusión que en cada uno hay corazon, y allí voy yo... Hay tante gente así... te necesita a ti A alguien con quién caminar... Yo puedo verte en la enfermedad acompañarte en tu soledad Y estoy contigo, mi mano aquí está hay luz en la oscuridad... hay luz en la oscuridad.

A Light In The Darkness (Luz en la oscuridad) How many times can I look in your eyes and tell you I can give you nothing? And how many more times will I wake up again dreaming if you'll be able to eat today? For I can see you in your illness be with you in your solitude and I'm with you, here's my hand there's a light in the darkness In the world we're so many already and there are still so many who have so little And when they reach out their arms they discover there's nobody there I can see you in your illness be with you in your solitude and I'm with you, here's my hand there's a light in the darkness There's a part in every being which cannot hear, cannot see because they don't want to But still I have the hope that there's heart in everyone and there am I... There are so many people like this... they need you somebody to walk along with I can see you in your illness be with you in your solitude and I'm with you, here's my hand there's a light in the darkness
