I'm fascinated by Lagrimas Negras, a wonderful Cuban song.
Trying to sing it too

Woooooaaaa this is wonderful!

The song + the video. It all sounds like it happened so spur of the moment. Had to look up a translation for the lyrics! And they did not disappoint — such a beautiful tune!

So simple yet profound

🇨🇺 Un jardinero de amor, planta una flor y se va.
🇨🇺 Otro viene y la cultiva, ¿de cuál de los dos será?
🇬🇧 A gardener of love, plants a flower and leaves
🇬🇧 Another comes and cultivates it, which of the two will it be?

pure poetry

Agreed! Such a beautiful couple of lines and the simplicity really amplifies it.

I really love how it sounds in both languages too. So perfect that the translation turned out so pretty.
