Lyrics / Letras

somos la luz del bosque
espíritu de todas las edades
somos la luz divina
sabeduria de los mares
transformamos el dolor
trayendo todo a luz
con el espíritu de amor
todo el día y la noche
(letra de un canto tradicional de México / words from a traditional song in Mexico)

translation:
we are the light of the forest
spirit of all ages
we are the divine light
the wisdom of the seas
we transform pain
bringing all to the light
with the spirit of love
all day and night

(((------::o::-----))))

Aad guray Nameh
Jugaad guray Nameh
Sat guray Nameh
Siri Guru Devay Nameh 

translation:
I bow to the primal wisdom.
I bow to the wisdom true through the ages.
I bow to the true wisdom. I bow to the great unseen wisdom.

Me inclino ante la sabiduría primordial
me inclino a la sabiduría a través de los siglos
me inclino ante la Verdadera Sabiduría
me inclino ante la grande sabiduría que no se ve 

(((------::o::-----))))

We’re all trying to find some peace of mind
in this labyrinth of space and time
that we find ourselves, can feel like such a bind
sometimes the illusion and confusion passing by
just remember it’s a moment, just a blink of an eye
but that moment lasts forever so we got to treat it fine
like a diamond in the rough, we’re gonna make it shine
find the curtains to your windows, open up them blinds
cause the world outside’s a waiting and it’s full of surprise 
and a brand new wind that will help you realize
all the beauty and the lovin, that you’ve got inside


(((------::o::-----))))

todos estamos buscando
felicidad y cantando
podemos re-encontrar y 
amando nuestra naturaleza bailando
esta canción esta vibrando
en el corazón despertando
la fuente de amor desbordando
pura vida brillando

translation:
we are all looking for happiness
singing we can rediscover
and loving our nature we dance
this song is vibrating
in the heart, awakening
the fountain of love, overflowing 
pure life shining

So Sorry

Tzen tze re rei  (Intop & Mariana Root)

My take on an arrangement of the jazz standard Autumn Leaves. Played on a Les Paul with Lollar P-90s into a Line 6 Helix model of a 1939 Gibson EH-185 amplifier. I hope you'll find it enjoyable!

Should anybody be interested, here is a Dropbox link to a transcription of this arrangement that I maintained while I was working on it:

Autumn Leaves

Lyrics:

Hey there its so nice to meet ya
But I’m scared I’ll have to leave ya

People they come and they go
Will you stay? Or will I go?

Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm

Breathless I find my heart beating 
Faster everytime

I overthink all the time
A vacant feeling 
in my mind

Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm 

Breathe in and 
Breathe out
I hope I figure it out


I hope I know how to fix it
I hope I really figure it out

Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm

Breathe in and 
Breathe out
I hope you figure this out

A vacant feeling (recording)
