    Default A Vertical Expression

    HI
    Is there anyone out there that knows where I can get a hold of the lyrics for "A Vertical Expression" by Freddy Fender & The Bellamy Brothers. This particular song has a solo piece where Freddy Fender sings in Spanish.

    You guys probably already know that Freddy passed away octber 10th 2006.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi

    I found a video clip at A Vertical Expression (Portuguese Version) by The Bellamy Brothers - Myspace Music Video Codes, Flash Games, Music Lyrics and Fun Jokes :: Music videos Code for your web sites

    Although it shows it's the portuguese version, it's actually the Spanish one, and Freddy Fender is doing the solo.

    I can later transcribe the Spanish words, if you wish

    Hi again Magross

    Here are the Spanish words:

    Nuestro amor se contó*
    como el agua sobre el acero
    y no puedo explicar
    la manera como te quiero,
    y la música toca
    el calor aumenta más alto.
    Es una vértica expresión,
    un deseo horizontal.

    Con el compás abrazando
    nos fuimos sin saber por qué.

    Y al llegar a su casa ella apagó la luz.

    es una vértica expresión
    un deseo horizontal.


    *I heard the song several times, and I always understood that he says "contó" in this first line. I realize that it doesn't make much sense in the sentence, but that's what I understood. I compared this verse with the original English lyrics, and perhaps a better word would be "movió" (SO WE MOVED LIKE WATER BEIN’ POURED OVER POLISHED STEEL).

    When she asked me to dance I said, No No…."I have two left feet."
    And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
    And she said, "Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on fire."
    It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

    Nuestro amor se contó*
    como el agua sobre el acero
    y no puedo explicar
    la manera como te quiero,
    y la música toca
    el calor aumenta más alto.
    Es una vértica expresión,
    un deseo horizontal.

    (Given below is the english transalation of the above )
    So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
    And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
    And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
    It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

    We did the samba, the mambo
    The tango, the two-step while we romanced
    Con el compás abrazando
    nos fuimos sin saber por qué.

    (Given below is the english transalation of the above )
    And when the music got fast
    We just held to each other and slow danced.

    --- Instrumental ---

    I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
    Y al llegar a su casa ella apagó la luz.

    (Given below is the english transalation of the above )
    And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light

    She said, "Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars retire."
    It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
    es una vértica expression un deseo horizontal.

    It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire...
