The heart above all.

Lyrics with translation under the cut

Sinceramente / Honestly

Hace tiempo que nadie / it's been a while since someone

Espera en la vereda de enfrente / waits in the opposite sidewalk

Cruzando el boulevard / crossing the boulevard

Congelado en la frente / frozen on the forehead

Aunque me beses la boca no es suficiente / even if you kiss my mouth, it's not enough

.

Recordé todo / I remembered everything

Especialmente el corazón / especially the heart,

El corazón sobre todo / the heart above all

Todo lo llevo perfecto / I carry everything perfect

Lo que aún no se ha roto / what is yet to be broken

Guardado aquí adentro en mi pecho izquierdo / kept here inside, in my left breast

Guardado aquí adentro en costado izquierdo / kept here inside, in my left side

.

Venimos caminando / we are walking,

Están proyectando cine / they're showing a movie,

Están dando los años locos / they’re showing "Los años locos" (The crazy years)

No quiero guardar nada / I don't want to keep anything,

No quiero callar más / I don't want to stay quiet anymore

Estan dando los años locos / They're showing "The crazy years"

.

No sé si podré curarme de esta / I don't know if I'll heal myself from this

Resulta que no sé si podré sanarme de esta / Turns out that I don't know if I will heal myself from this

.

Me quedan pocas cosas / I have few things left,

Si las enumero sabrás que son demasiado pocas / If I count them you'll know they're too few

Demasiadas pocas cosas / Too few things

Me quedan pocas cosas / I have few things left,

Si las enumero sabrás que son demasiado pocas / If I count them you'll know they're too few

Demasiadas pocas cosas / Too few things

.

La ventana daba al mar / The window faced the sea

Ahora hay tormenta de arena por toda la santa alacena / Now there's a sandstorm all over the holy pantry

La ventana daba al mar / The window faced the sea

Ahora hay tormenta de arena por toda la santa alacena / Now there's a sandstorm all over the holy pantry

.

No sé si podré librarme de esta / I don't know if I'll free myself from this

Resulta que no sé si podré salvarme de esta / Turns out that I don't know if I'll save myself from this

.

Resulta que no sé si podré curarme de esta / Turns out that I don't know if I'll heal myself from this

Resulta que no sé si podré salvarme de esta / Turns out that I don't know if I'll save myself from this

Sanarme de esta / Heal myself from this

Librarme de esta / Free myself from this

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/6/24) Antonio Berni (Argentine, 1905-1981) Desoccupados (The Unemployed)(1934) Tempera on burlap, 213.4 x 404.8 cm. Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires

Delesio Antonio Berni was an Argentine figurative artist. He is associated with the movement known as Nuevo Realismo ("New Realism"), a Latin American extension of social realism. He began painting realistic images that depicted the struggles and tensions of the Argentine people. His popular Nuevo Realismo paintings include "Desocupados (The Unemployed)" and "Manifestación" (Manifestation). Both were based on photographs Berni had gathered to document, as graphically as possible, the "abysmal conditions of his subjects."

Shakespeare Weekend

Shakespeare’s comedy, Love’s Labour’s Lost, is volume 20 of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. There is some evidence that Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of Shakespeare's earliest works, likely performed in 1595. It was printed in quarto in 1598 by the bookseller Cuthbert Burby. The play was later printed in the first folio in 1623. 

The illustrator, is the Austrian-Argentine painter Mariette Lydis (1887-1970). Lydis traveled the world and lived in many different countries for extended periods of time, including Italy, America, England, Russia, and France aside form her home countries. She received no formal training in art but was inspired by the people and places she visited. She did many drawings during her travels, some being done in prisons and asylums, which reveal her interest in the humanity. Lydis became a very successful artist and illustrator, illustrating over forty books. Though she was a highly competent engraver and lithographer she produced these drawings in crayon and wash, which are reproduced here as collotypes in black and grey inks. Lydis lived openly as bisexual, spending her last thirty years of her life with her partner, Erica Marx, in Argentina. 

On illustrating Love’s Labour’s Lost, Lydis writes:

“During [a] concentrated reading, the illustrator must visualize [their] creatures from within and without. I dare to say that at this moment the illustration is already done, although no pencil line may have been traced. When an illustrator has read [the] text in this manner, the people, the landscapes and the scenes have become so real to [them], that [they have] almost the impression of drawing from a model.” 

The volumes in the set were printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each was illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. The illustrations were reproduced in collotypes by Georges Duval in Paris. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
