El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Colera

“Ay! Mi bien, que no haría yo por ti
Por tenerte un segundo, alejados del mundo
Y cerquita de mí.
Ay! Mi bien, como el río Magdalena
Que se funde en la arena del mar,
Quiero fundirme yo en ti.

Hay amores que se vuelven resistentes a los daños,
Como el vino que mejora con los años,
Asi crece lo que siento yo por ti.
Hay amores que se esperan al invierno y florecen
Y en las noches del otoño reverdecen
Tal como el amor que siento yo por ti.

Ay! Mi bien, no te olvides del mar
Que en las noches me ha visto llorar
Tantos recuerdos de ti.
Ay! Mi bien, no te olvides del día
Que separó en tu vida,
De la pobre vida que me tocó vivir.

Hay amores que se vuelven resistentes a los daños
Como el vino que mejora con los años
Así crece lo que siento yo por ti
Hay amores que parece que se acaban y florecen
Y en las noches del otoño reverdecen
Tal como el amor que siento yo por ti,
Yo por ti… por ti… como el amor que siento yo por ti.”

_{[ Hay Amores – Shakira ]}


This photo is based on BriarRose’s idea and inspired by the music video for the song, which is taken from the soundtrack of El Amor En Los Tiempos Del Cólera (Love In The Time Of Cholera), based on the novel of the same name by Gabriel García Márquez. I haven't seen the movie nor read the book, but I love Shakira and the idea for the photo, which BriarRose wanted to do since forever.
Taken in Trieste, Italy.

<sub>[ There Are Loves ]

Oh my love! I’d do anything for you,
To have you for a second, far away from the world
And close to me.
Oh my love! Just like the Magdalena river,
Which merges into the sea sand,
I want to be one with you.

There are loves which become resistant to any damage:
Just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,
In that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger.
There are loves which wait for the winter to bloom
And in the autumn evenings turn green again,
Tust like the love I feel for you.

Oh my love! Don’t forget the sea,
Which has seen me crying at night
Over all those memories I’ve got of you.
Oh my love! Don’t forget the day,
Which separated your life
From this poor life of mine.

There are loves which become resistant to any damage:
Just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,
In that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger.
There are loves which wait for the winter to bloom
And in the autumn evenings turn green again,
Tust like the love I feel for you,
I feel for you… for you… like the love I feel for you.</sub>
