No Me Ames
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's No Me Ames has struck a chord with me recently. Prompting me to be interested in all things Spanish. Spanish Fly, Spanish Inquisition, ... Anyway, my colleague LC and I have gone to the extent of memorizing some of the lyrics, much to the chagrin of
my other colleagues:
Me: Dime porque lloras (Why are you crying?)
LC: De felicidad (Because I'm happy)
Me: y porque te ahogas (Why are you so choked up?)
LC: por la soledad (From loneliness)
You get the idea. The cute thing is that LC does it in a nasal Parit Buntar Hokkien twang. Hehe. From the music video I saw (you have my permission to roll your eyes), it seems that Marc Anthony's dying and doesn't want J. Lo to love him anymore, hence No Me Ames (Don't love me).
Check it out, people.
PS: If it ain't Spanish, feel free to flame me. I was too lazy to check. Foreign languages aren't really my forte. Wanted to take tagalog as an elective during uni days, but that plan fell through. :(.
PPS: Took a cue from Daniel, he and his prolific music posts.
