Beuna Vista Social Club comes to town

Cuban Music. Just like coffee, rich, thick and full of flavor. The way I like it. The group will be coming to Victoria Concert Hall next week (14th - 20th Sept). Details here.

More information about the group can be found here as well.

One of their songs

Dos Gardenias

Dos Gardenias para tí
Con ellas quiero decir:
Te quiero, te adoro, mi vida
Ponle toda tu atención
Porque son tu corazón y el mío.

Dos gardenias para tí
Que tendrán todo el calor de un beso
De esos besos que te dí
Y que jamás encontrarás
En el calor de otro querer.

A tu lado vivirán y se hablarán
Como cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerás que te dirán:
Te quiero.
Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
Es porque han adivinado
Que tu amor me ha traicionado
Porque existe otro querer.


Two Gardenias for you
With these I mean to say:
I love you, I adore you, my life
Look after them because
They are your heart and mine.

Two Gardenias for you
With all the warmth of a kiss
Like those I gave to you
Kisses that you will never know
In the embrace of another.

They will live beside you
And talk to you as I do
And you will even believe
that you hear them say: I love you.
But if one late evening
The Gardenias should die
It´s because they know
That you have betrayed me
And that you love another.
