Our Song ...

Many months ago, when Ivone and I were first getting acquainted, she shared a song with me that was perfect for us and our meeting one another. The song is called Coincidir and our favorite version is by Guadalupe Pineda.  (the translation is difficult because the words don't always carry the meaning).

This is our song.

Soy vecina de este mundo por un rato
Y hoy coindice que también tú estas aquí
Coincidencias tan extrañas de la vida
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Si navego con la mente el universo
O si quiero a mis ancestros retornar
Agobiada me detengo y no imagino
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Si en la noche me entretengo en las estrellas
Y capturo la que empieza a florecer
La sostengo entre las manos más que al alma
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Si la vida se sostiene por instantes
Y un instante es el momentos de existir
Si tu vida es otro instante.. no comprendo
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Soy vecina de este mundo por un rato
Y hoy coindice que también tú estas aquí
Coincidencias tan extrañas de la vida
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Si tu vida es otro instante.. no comprendo
Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir

Tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio… y coincidir
y coincidir....y coincidir....y coincidir....y coincidir....


Translation:

I am a resident of this world for a while
And today also coindice you are here
Strange coincidences of life
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

If I navigate to the mind the universe
Or if I return my ancestors
Overwhelmed, I stop and I can not imagine
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

If I entertain at night the stars
And caught the blossom begins to
I hold hands more than the soul
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

If life is sustained by moments
And a moment is the moment to exist
If your life is another moment .. I do not understand
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

I am a resident of this world for a while
And today also coindice you are here
Strange coincidences of life
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

If your life is another moment .. I do not understand
Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match

Centuries, many worlds, so much space ... and match
and match and match .... .... .... and match and match ....



Projects

I have projects, ideas and plans. Ivone is pleased with my plans and ideas and I will move forward as time and money will allow. Below are the three project photos and one concept photo. I'm sure that all of this will change as time goes by but it is good to have something constructive to keep me busy.

The pool at Cachacuaz needs a cover to protect it from debris and sun. Still working on ideas.

The upstairs of the apartment needs to have the huge satellite dish removed and a cover over that area. Partly for sun protection of the living area and partly to have an open air area for the evenings.


The third project, and my personal favorite, is the garden area. It just needs to be cleaned up and planters built for the first stage. Here is the actual and a concept photo.
