Light
Clavo mi remo en el agua
llevo tu remo en el mio.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del rio.
El dia le ira pudiendo
poco a poco al frio.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del rio.
Sobre todo, creo que no todo esta perdido.
Tanta lagrima, tanta lagrima,
y yo soy un vaso vacio...
Oigo una voz que me llama,
casi un suspiro:
¡Rema, rema, rema!
¡Rema, rema, rema!
En esta orilla del mundo
lo que nos es presa es baldio.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del rio.
Yo, muy serio, voy remando,
muy adentro y sonrio.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del rio.

Please not the Santana version. I still don't know whether or not to believe my father when he says that we're related to Che.

Not :)

I don't believe there is a Santana version. It's by Jorge Drexler. And you? Related to Che Guevara? That's cool. It'd be cooler if you were related Gael Garcia Bernal. Maybe you could hook me up. ;)

Jorge Drexler wasn't allowed to perform the song himself at the Oscar Ceremony where he received the Best Song award. Instead they had a Santana version with Antonio Banderas singing - don't ask me what they were thinking. Drexler got his own back slightly by singing a verse a capella as his acceptance speech.
And supposedly myself and Ernesto shared (great?-)great-grandmothers - not sure if this is true or not. One side of his family was Irish so it is at least plausible, but I wouldn't lend it too much credence.

What?! That is so stupid! Why wasn't he allowed to perform it? And why why WHY would they allow Antonio Banderas to sing it?
