Pura Poesía Cumbiana

They tell me it’s wine red [in color],
but my car is maroon/grape;
It’s the latest model . . .
My car always goes with me wherever I go / Because he’s my companion
That car is my life / I’ve never had any complaints about him
When I get a girl / He takes me wherever I want to go
When I get a girl / He takes me wherever I want to go
Lady, at your service, I’ll take you!
No thanks, I’m waiting for the old guy with the big hat…
Oh, you don’t say… what a lucky guy
He’ll be here, you’ll see…
The old man with the big hat! (That old man is really good— )
The old man with the big hat! (At getting women . . .)
The old man with the big hat! (I bet he has a secret—)
The old man with the big hat! (That old man really rocks…)
I’m going to buy myself a hat / A really nice hat; to compete with him;
(The old man with the big hat)
Dear lady, I’m wondering:
Why are you so devoted to the old man with the big hat?
Chorus (2X)
What happens is that a drop of water dripping on a stone eventually makes a hole . . .
That old man has his car and every time he passes by he smiles at me
He goes away, he comes back; if he finds me standing in the doorway
He tosses me a compliment and honks his horn . . .
He goes away, he comes back; if he finds me standing in the doorway
He tosses me a compliment and honks his horn . . .
Pi pi pi— (honk honk honk) every little while the old man passes by and honks his horn
Pi pi pi—it’s every little while the old man passes by and honks his horn . . .
Pi-pi-pi I’m always waiting / for that old man to honk
Pi-pi-pi I’m always waiting / for that old man to honk
Pi-pi-pi he’s got me dizzy with that honk honk honk
With the pi pi he honks at me / pi pi he’s got me dizzy with that honk honk . . .

Mammalian Misconceptions

Embedding BitChute videos has some quirks. The posted video plays an ad first. even though my Brave browser (highly-recommended, free download) eliminates the ads when I watch videos at my end. If that happens you have to wait for the stupid ad to end. This did not use to happen. Some update, or maybe code warfare from CensorTube altered the playback for BitChutes. If anyone can explain how to eliminate this glitch, do tell.

In any case, yes, this man is quite confused…

Someone Named Joy

 

For as the rain cometh down,
and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be
that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish
that which I please,
and it shall prosper
in the thing whereto I sent it.

For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills
shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field
shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 55
