Hello my friends, I'm here once again, but for the first time in this contest I will play a song in my first language, Spanish, a great song by the Spanish master joaquin sabina. At the end of the post I will write the lyrics of the song in Spanish and English, I really hope you enjoy my presentation.

English Text:
"A Song for Magdalena" is a poignant and evocative track from Joaquín Sabina's vast repertoire. The song is a beautiful ode to a woman named Magdalena, showcasing Sabina's signature blend of melancholic lyricism and poetic storytelling.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love story that has gone sour, with Sabina's heartfelt vocals conveying the pain of loss and the yearning for a past love. The song's melancholic melody, underscored by the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar, creates an atmosphere of longing and introspection.

Sabina masterfully uses metaphors and vivid imagery to describe the emotions of heartbreak and the bittersweet memories that linger. The song's universal theme of lost love makes it resonate with listeners who have experienced similar pain and longing. "A Song for Magdalena" is a testament to Sabina's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion through his poignant and heartfelt songwriting.

Spanish Text:
"Canción para la Magdalena" es una pieza conmovedora y evocadora del vasto repertorio de Joaquín Sabina. La canción es una hermosa oda a una mujer llamada Magdalena, mostrando la mezcla característica de Sabina de lirismo melancólico y narración poética.

Las letras pintan una imagen vívida de una historia de amor que se ha agrió, con la voz sentida de Sabina transmitiendo el dolor de la pérdida y la añoranza por un amor pasado. La melodía melancólica de la canción, resaltada por el suave rasgueo de una guitarra acústica, crea una atmósfera de anhelo e introspección.

Sabina usa maestría las metáforas e imágenes vívidas para describir las emociones del desamor y los recuerdos agridulces que perduran. El tema universal de la canción sobre el amor perdido la hace resonar con los oyentes que han experimentado un dolor y una añoranza similares. "Canción para la Magdalena" es un testimonio de la capacidad de Sabina para capturar las complejidades de la emoción humana a través de su composición poética y sentida.

Si, a media noche, por la carretera
If at midnight by the road
Que te conté
That I told you about
Detrás de una gasolinera
Behind the gas station
Donde llené
Where I filled the gas tank
Te hacen un guiño unas bombillas
The lights wink at you
Azules, rojas y amarillas
Blue, red and yellow
Pórtate bien y frena
Behave and stop
Y, si la Magdalena
And if the Magdalena
Pide un trago
Asks for a drink
Tú la invitas a cien
You invite her hundred
Que yo los pago
I pay them
verse
Acércate a su puerta y llama
Get closer to her door and call
Si te mueres de sed
If you are thirsty
Si ya no juegas a las damas
If you don't play checkers
Ni con tu mujer
Not even with your wife
Sólo te pido que me escribas
I only ask you to write me
Contándome si sigue viva
Telling me if she's alive
La virgen del pecado
The sin virgin
La novia de la flor de la saliva
The girlfriend of the flower of the saliva
El sexo con amor de los casados
The sex with love of the married ones
chorus
Dueña de un corazón
Owner of a heart
Tan cinco estrellas
So five stars
Que, hasta el hijo de un dios
That even the son of a god
Una vez que la vio
Once said that saw her
Se fue con ella
And left with her
Y nunca le cobró
And never charged him
La Magdalena
The Magdalena
