My band Olvidé San Telmo's latest video!!! :) (now with lyrics and translation)

in #music7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians!!!

I've been thinking about sharing my band's latest video for a while now because it blows my mind that we are at this stage, however I think some context is needed.

Here are the lyrics in spanish:


Horas que van
tiñendose
de distracción

Lo natural
va perdiendo
su color....

Horas que van
tiñiendose
de distracción
de distracción

Lo natural
va perdiendo su color
va perdiendo su color

Va muriendo todo lo que nace del suelo
no quedan verdes que contemplen el cielo
¿cómo hiciste? ¿cómo hiciste para despertar hoy?

Tu paisaje se cubrió de cemento
no corre el viento, es tanto el encierro
¿cómo hiciste? ¿cómo hiciste para despertar hoy?

Como un brote empecinado en alcanzar el cielo
me elevo, respiro, sobra vida dentro mio
se dilatan mis pupilas como pétalos al sol
y avanzo lento , me convierto en caracol...

Voy, buscando una reacción
ay soy, mi propia vibración

Voy zurcando en mi camino
la mirada de la gente
que hoy sigue avanzando
cegada por la corriente

Olvidan la tierra
el humo respiran
no olvido el verde
y el gris contamina y...

Vos que hoy no despertás
¿cuanto mas vas a esperar?
abrí tu ojos para ver
cuanto estás dispuesto a ceder

Va muriendo todo lo que nace del suelo
no quedan verdes que contemplen el suelo
¿como hiciste? ¿como hiciste para despertar hoy?

Tu paisaje se cubrió de cemento
no corre el viento, es tanto el encierro
¿como hiciste? ¿como hiciste para despertar hoy?

Horas que van
tiñiendose
de distracción
de distracción

Lo natural
va perdiendo su color
va perdiendo su color


And here's the translation (there's a lot of metaphors that don't translate so nicely :)

Hours slowly dyed
of distraction
what's natural loses it's color

Hours slowly dyed
of distraction
of distraction

what's natural
loses it's color
loses it's color

Everything that springs from the ground dies
there's no green that contemplates the sky
how did you
how did you wake up today?

Your landscape is surrounded by pavement
there's no wind, there's so much confinement
how did you
how did you wake up today?

Like a sprout determined to reach the sky
I rise, I breath
There's so much life inside me

My pupils dilate
like petals in the sun

I move slowly
I become a snail

I'm looking for a reaction
Oh, I am my own vibration

I cross on my path the stares of the people
that keep advancing blinded by the current
they forget the earth
they breathe in the smoke

I don't forget the green
and the grey contaminates and

You, who don't wake up today
how much longer will you wait?
open your eyes to see
how much are you willing to concede

Everything that springs from the ground dies
there's no green that contemplates the sky
how did you
how did you wake up today?

Your landscape is surrounded by pavement
there's no wind, there's so much confinement
how did you
how did you wake up today?

Hours slowly dyed
of distraction
of distraction

what's natural
loses it's color
loses it's color


As I have said before, I'm colombian, and I lived in Colombia most of my life, now I live in Argentina.
For many years I studied music in Colombia, but it always seem obvious to me that I would not be able to make the music I wanted to make and be successful while doing it.

In comes Argentina...

As soon as I moved here It became clear to me that I actually could do music full time, it also helped that I came over to study music.

Time passed and I didn't have any bands that stuck together, until I met Ivan.
He brought me into his band Nimbo, and for a while it was great, then the band died, but we stuck together.

We started a band called Olvidé San Telmo, and since then we've been making music and adding band members like @vera.carla and @matiasmenarguez hehe.

We are now on our second record! SECOND!!!!

And now we are in the middle of releasing the video for the first single from the album!!!
Every time I look back and think of the road that's taken me here I realized several things:

-You never know where you're going but you gotta get there believing in yourself and your instinct (I came here following my gut).
-You must work hard no matter what!!
-You'll find awesome people if you allow them to get to know you!

I truly hope you enjoy the music and the video, we really did our best without any funding other than our own money!
We are a full independent band and being at this stage seem incredible to me, truly!!

Till my next post!!
