History
Hi
What is your source that Eduardo Benavente wrote the Spanish lyrics?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm friends with Ana Curra, the band's keyboardist and Eduardo's partner, and she has told me the story about the song and how Eduardo came with his own adaptation. I couldn't find any reliable source across the web to send you a link, but I can't ask her to tell you the story.
These are the spanish lyrics and their translation:
Yo, quisiera poder
nadar, nadar bajo el mar
y nada, nada nos alejaría
ser como delfines por siempre jamas
Podemos ser Héroes
un día nada más
Yo sería el rey
y tu serías la reina
y nada nos alejaría
seremos nosotros
un día nada más
Podemos ser Héroes
un día nada más
Yo, yo puedo acordarme
estar contigo en Berlín
y nada, nada nos separaría
seremos nosotros
un día nada más
Podemos ser Héroes
un día nada más
-------------------------
I wish I could
swim, swim under the sea
and nothing, nothing could tear us apart
Being like dolphins forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
I would be King
and you would be Queen
and nothing could tear us apart
We will be us
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
I, I can remember
being with you in Berlin
and nothing, nothing could separate us
We will be us
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
Thank you! This is a very special band here in Spain, with a short and tragical history: Eduardo died on the road between two gigs while touring with their only album when he was 20 and my friend Ana, his girlfriend, was the driver...
By the way, I sent the other cover they included in his first and last album: https://secondhandsongs.com/case/22046
I hope it can be processed as well some day... I'll keep sending covers to contribute this amazing website where I can enjoy learning a lot about great music!
PD: The other members of the band were Ana Curra, Rafa Balmaseda, Toti Arboles
