I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow through.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a [...]

Language: Portuguese (?)
My take: This was an early favorite of mine because it's catchy and repetitive … but definitely not boring! Its interesting beat reminds me of a horse galloping in an open field. The lyrics are really easy to follow to that I remember singing to it just after first listening. But it's not [...]

Language: Tyagaraja (Sanskrit?)
From my CD: Love Trap
My take: I am unabashedly a Susheela Raman fan. When I first heard her, there was that something about her earthy voice and the unmistakeable Indian sound she brings into her songs.
This particular song has got to be among my top favorites in the album. First time I heard [...]

Algo de mi se ha perdido
Entre tu casa y mi casa
Ser el calor que no abrasa
No es de gozo
No es de ira

Yo sabre reir
Yo sabre llorar
Yo sabre entregarte mi carino

Rodeá de tanta gente y yo me siento tan sola
Mi corazón es como una bomba pum pum!!! Una bomba
De relojería fina a punto de estallar

El tiempo es de soleá y a mi me duele
Voy por la calle y escuchando los quejíos
El futuro en cada [...]
