And here I was thinking that music doesn't have a sell-by date

a bit literal there, i feel dearest

If charts is the way to go, then you should love One Direction, What makes you beautiful...do you?
On the other hand, there are tons of classic songs that everyone still knows and loves, no matter if they're in the charts or not. Anyone who loves music, will tell you that songs like Respect, Stairway to Heaven, Cocaine, Come on Eileen, Don't let me be misunderstood, I put a spell on you, I will survive, Light my fire, Mr. Tambourine Man and many many others (these are just some out of the top of my head and I didn't even include Beatles, Elvis, Simon & Garfankel etc) have survived the test of time for a reason.

Pfffffffffft jj, I didn't mean sell by date literally of course. Although there are still many many many covers, not to mention collections of older songs...and not to even mention classical music, ofcourse, that's still going strong and there are always lovers of it around.

A big thank you to everyone who voted for me in #28 - especially to Esterra who gave me 12 points in the SF.

Here are the words and the translation. Humungous thanks to Nessie for overseeing the translation for me.

I hope you like it.

Momentos

La vida es un millón de momentos
los tienes, de prisa se van.
Las horas nos escriben un cuento
Tu boca que me pide más.

Hay mil historias detrás de un silencio
Hay olas que se roba el mar
Tu abrazo se consume en el tiempo
Y en tí yo quiero descansar.

Hay noches de hielo
Hay alas caídas
Llovizna en la acera
Tu cara divina.

Si tuviera que elegir,
te eligiria a tí
besándome, cuidándome,
sintiéndote.
Tan solo esos momentos
son los que guardo dentro.

Te elegiría a ti
De nuevo a ti
amándome.
Tan solo esos momentos
son los que llevo dentro
de mí.

La vida es un puñado de sueños
y besos en la oscuridad.
Velas que encienden un sentimiento
y amores que renacerán.

Hay mil canciones detrás de un te quiero,
ternura en un amanecer.
Luces que bajan cuando estás lejos
y brillan porque has de volver.

Hay tardes de fuego
Hay notas perdidas
Hay pétalos muertos
Palabras vencidas.

Si tuviera que elegir,
te elegiría a tí,
besándome, cuidándome,
sintiéndote.

Tan sólo esos momentos
son los que guardo dentro.
Te elegiría a tí
De nuevo a tí,
amándome.
Tan solo esos momentos
son los que llevo dentro.

Hay risas eternas
Hay siestas contigo
Hay largos otoños
Que hoy tienen abrigo

Si tuviera que elegir,
te elegiría a tí
besándome, cuidándome
sintiéndote.
Tan solo esos momentos
son los que guardo dentro

Te elegiria a ti
De nuevo a ti
amándome.
Tan solo esos momentos
son los que llevo dentro
de mí..


Moments

Life is a million moments
You have them, they quickly pass.
The hours write us a story (tale)
Your mouth, that asks me more.

There are countless stories behind a silence
There are waves that the sea has stolen
Your embrace is consumed over time
And in you I want to rest.

There are nights of ice
There are falling wings
Drizzle on the sidewalk
Your divine face.

If I had to choose,
I would choose you
kissing me, taking care of me,
feeling you.
Only those moments
are the ones that I keep inside.

I would choose you
Once again, you
loving me.
Only those moments
are the ones that I carry inside me

Life is a handful of dreams
and kisses in the dark.
Candles that ignite a feeling
and lovestories which will be reborn.

There are countless songs behind an 'I love you',
tenderness in a dawn.
Lights that dim when you're far away
and they shine because you have to return.

There are evenings of fire
There are lost notes
There are dead flowers
Defeated words.

If I had to choose,
I would choose you
kissing me, taking care of me,
feeling you.

Only those moments
are the ones that I keep inside.
I would choose you
Once more you,
loving me.
So these moments alone
are the ones I carry inside me.

There is eternal laughter
There are naps with you
There are long autumns
Which are now preserved

If I had to choose,
I would choose you
kissing me, taking care of me,
feeling you.
Only those moments
are the ones that I keep inside.

I would choose you
Once more you
loving me.
So these moments alone
are are the ones I carry inside
me ..
