Mecano - Una rosa es una rosa [Performed at La Cartuja Stadium, Sevilla, Spain, Jan. 1st 1992]

Translation note: The lines "Porque el amor es el empiece De la palabra amargura" means literally Because amar (to love) is the beginning Of the word amargura. That word means, depending on context: bitterness, grief, sorrow. I argue that here it means all three.

#Mecano #music #i'm posting this for several reasons #(1) this song is so good and none of the translations i've seen have done it justice in my eyes #(2) this is such a faith @ buffy song and i'm making a video and that's what led me to do my own translation #(3) this was the queerest thing that tiny soup had ever seen in her life whether it was intended to be or not #as are a few of their other songs #and then there's the two that are explicitly about queerness: 'mujer contra mujer' aka it's ok to be a lesbian and #'stereosexual' aka im a dude and i woke up next to another guy and now i'm having a sexuality crisis but oh wait it's a gal with short hair #anyway point being this performance is very good and also this band is very good and also im in the feelings trenches #enjoy please #do they have songs that are uh. in bad taste to say the least? yes. but most are good.#also i wanted to post as mp4 so i could save it incase it ever went off youtube #also also idk how many latino or spanish followers i have but if you or your parents grew up in the 80s iykyk
