I don´t know if Zaqarbal is still around - I haven´t seen him post for a while, and now I wish I´d voted for him as an under-the-radar member. He posts so much musical material, but doesn´t push his on-line personality. Got to admire his restraint !

Anyway, Zabarqal, if you´re still here, and if you have a long memory, you may recall that I once asked you about a band whose name was like a dinosaur. Well, I finally found them again. They are from Colombia and here is the first track that turns up on Youtube :-

Yep, I remember the Archaeopteryx or something like that. Aterciopelados means "the velvety ones" (terciopelo means velvet). The band was mentioned in this thread about three years ago. Bolero falaz ("Deceitful Bolero") is one of their best-known songs. It's a kind of satire about boleros (you can see a lyrics' translation here). Bolero songs were very popular in the whole Spanish-speaking world from the 40's to the 60's. They had a romantic and idealistic tone.

*M Clan (since 1993). Rock. Antihéroe ("Antihero", 2002) and Carolina (2001):

Guardas el último baile. ................................ You keep the last dance.
Yo guardo el tiempo perdido ................................ I keep the lost time
para que el mundo no acabe. ................................ to keep the World from coming to an end.

Tu guardas cada palabra ................................ You keep every word
para no tener que decir nada. ................................ to keep yourself from talking.
Yo guardo esta hoja en blanco ................................ I keep a blank sheet of paper
para tener todas las palabras. ................................ so as to have all the words.

Guardo mi juego favorito ................................ I keep my favourite game
para despertarme contigo. ................................ so as to wake up by your side.
Guardo el ruido del motor ................................ I remember the engine noise
para olvidarme de todo. ................................ so as to forget everything.

Guardas las fotografías. ................................ You keep the photographs.
Yo guardo las botellas vacías. ................................ I keep the empty bottles.

Guardas el último baile. ................................ You keep the last dance.
Yo guardo el tiempo perdido ................................ I keep the lost time
hasta que el mundo se acabe. ................................ until the World ends.

Guardo un pájaro muerto ................................ I keep a dead bird
para decirte: «te quiero». ................................ so as to say to you: «I love you».
