Romantic songs

Hell yeah, Jennifer Hudson gets my vote.

We got old skool...

And we got new skool...

How the times have changed.

I'll leave the light on for you, Martha...

One from Nina...

Miles...

My all-time favorite Nina Simone (and it was a tough decision) is "Just Like a Woman."

You got it...

Another one from Nina...

Thank you, SmartAlex. After 40 years it can still make me cry.
"Spell on You" is also amazing in a completely different way.

This one jerks my tears. Been there...

Attention Luddities, you may want to give your copy of Bolero a rest and try this along 'round sunset...

Wow. I hadn't bothered to look at this thread until now. There's some good stuff here, thanks largely to Smartalex. From Amy Winehouse to Nina Simone and beyond. Nice.

Which thing are you using to get the embedded YouTube stuff? I've tried link, code, image....none making happiness.

You have to go to the top of the page and click on "Post Reply." Find the video icon. It looks like a window...or maybe a ladder. Click on the icon and insert the landing url...or web address. Click OK and then Send.

Thanks, Smartalex!

Well, this can't top what you've posted, but it always breaks my heart and has been very popular in Mexico for the last couple of years. Yeah, it's in Spanish, but don't worry if you don't understand all the words, you can't miss the pleading in his voice when he hits the choro.

Espinoza Paz - Un Hombre Normal

Keep 'em coming, Rosa. Here's one from Celso Piña...

If you need help with the Spanish lyrics to some of these songs, here are a few tips. You can get the Spanish lyrics quickly and easily by searching the title on musica.com. Simply copy and do a Google translate of the Spanish lyrics. It'll be rough...but it will, at least, give you an idea of what the song is about. For instance, here is the Google translate version of Un Hombre Normal, the Espinoza Paz song posted by Rosa Venus.

(SPOKEN)
! Heart!
! Through this song, I say, how I feel!

I know that nothing will happen if I again tomorrow
And I have to assimilate, this dreamer that no longer interest you.
I was never your priority, not your spotlight
And I have to take in, that if i was I'm not inside your heart.

(Chorus)

I are going through a normal man
May I be without you, do not feel bad
And I will smile, to pass unnoticed my sadness

With maturity I'll withdraw
And for once, I promise not to mourn
And I'll smile for my sorrow goes unnoticed.

They told the city, for your demise
As I can assimilate, if i was and I'm not in
of your heart.

(Chorus)

I are going through a normal man
May I be without you, do not feel bad
And I will smile, to pass unnoticed my sadness

With maturity I'll withdraw
And for the first time I promise not mourn
And I'll smile for my sorrow goes unnoticed.

(Spoken)
! Through this song, just wanted you to know how I feel, but just that, just that!
! HaahaHAhahaahahaa!!

This one needs no translation...

Justin got on the bus in Nogales, coming home. Listening to this thread, what a treat! Here's my contribution: Dolor (Love Hurts in Spanish). It will tear your heart out and make it bleed! :

Thanks Rosa and SmartAle for a better bus trip!

Followed the link but got lost in the electronic abyss. Not sure what version you had in mind. I'll post the Grupo Indio version and you can post whatever you like later.

Enjoy the ride, Tailrunner...

Thanks, that's the one!

Love the black rose! lol Nice touch.

Better late than never....and I have enjoyed this thread immensely.
