A warm greeting to everyone in this beautiful #Music community. I have the pleasure of sharing my trumpet performance of «Your Song», a song that blends traditional pop with soft rock, composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin in 1969. One of my favorite versions is sung in the movie Moulin Rouge (2001) by Ewan McGregor. The lyrics speak of an innocent, genuine, and honest love that transforms life. It was born at a breakfast at Elton's mother's house in Northwood Hills, London, using a piece of worksheet stained with tea or coffee. Without a doubt, it is an example that creativity can arise from simple moments in life and leave indelible marks on humanity's musical memory. This musical piece is in the key of Eb major and has a memorable melody characterized by its naturalness and gradual climax. The tempo is moderate with a syncopated rhythm.

Un cordial saludo para todos en esta bella comunidad de #Music. Tengo el placer de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Your Song», una canción que mezcla el pop tradicional con y el rock suave compuesta por Elton John y Bernie Taupin en 1969. Una de mis versiones favoritas es cantada en la película Moulin Rouge (2001) por Ewan McGregor. La letra habla de un amor inocente, autentico, y honesto que transforma la vida. Surgió en un desayuno en la casa de la madre de Elton en Northwood Hills, Londres, usando una hoja de ejercicio manchada con té o café. Sin duda, una muestra de que la creatividad puede surgir de simples momentos de la vida, y dejar huellas imborrables en la memoria musical de la humanidad. Esta pieza musical se encuentra en la tonalidad de Eb mayor y tiene una melodía memorable que se caracteriza por su naturalidad y climax gradual. El tempo es moderado con un ritmo sincopado.

This week I learned that you shouldn't let yourself be overwhelmed by the unexpected. My cell phone stopped working at a time I didn't expect. And the thing is, one is not a magician, nor a fortune-teller, nor can one predict the future. Sometimes things come into our lives that we never anticipate. We can't control those things. I try not to worry and to have an attitude more like Timon and Pumbaa, characters from the animated movie The Lion King. Life is full of changes, and for some we can prepare ourselves in advance. For others, we have to face them with courage and bravery. That's why one shouldn't cling to material things. Those things are fleeting. The material is an illusion, and the spiritual arises as an option, an alternative that transcends the physical, time, and worries. In a musical score, we find rhythmic patterns, alterations, and unexpected symbols, but we have to adapt and overcome them. I hope you enjoy my interpretation. Sending good vibes to everyone.

Esta semana aprendí que no hay que dejarse abrumar por lo inesperado. Mi celular dejo de funcionar en un momento que no esperaba. Y es que uno no es brujo, ni adivino, ni puede predecir el futuro. A veces llegan cosas a nuestras vidas que nunca esperamos. Esas cosas no las podemos controlar. Trato de no preocuparme y tener una actitud mas parecida a la de timón y pumba, personajes de la película animada el rey león. La vida esta llena de cambios, y en algunos podemos prepararnos con tiempo. En otros, si nos toca asumirlos con valentía y coraje. Por eso uno debe aferrarse a lo material. Esas cosas son pasajeras. Lo material es una ilusión y lo espiritual surge como una opción, una alternativa que trasciende lo físico, el tiempo y las preocupaciones. En una partitura nos encontramos patrones rítmicos, alteraciones, y símbolos inesperados, pero toca adaptarse y supéralo. Espero disfruten de mi interpretación. La mejor vibra para todos.

Your Song

It's a little bit funny
This feelin' inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh
But then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travellin' show, oh
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

I sat on the roof
And kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses
Well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgettin'
But these things I do
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is
What I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is the song
It may be quite simple, but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
