Quick question

Hil, I visited Bogota last month and I remember a song constatly being played it went something like "que bonita es esta tierra..." or something like that.

I forgot to ask my friends who was the singer and what was the name of the song, do you know by any chance who sings it and the name of it?

Thanks and regards

I bought a Jorge Celedon CD just to get the song, which is actually called "Esta Vida". Here are the lyrics.

me gusta el olor que tiene la mañana
me gusta el primer traguito de café
sentir como el sol se asoma a mi ventana
y me llena la mirada de un hermoso amanecer

me gusta escuchar la paz de las montañas
mirar los colores del atardecer
sentir en mi piel la arena de la playa
y lo dulce de la caña cuando beso a mi mujer

(Coro)
seee se que el tiempo lleva prisa
pa borrarme de la lista
pero yo le digo quee

ay que bonita es esta vida
aunque a veces duela tanto
y a pesar de los pesares
siempre hay alguien que nos quiere
siempre hay alguien que nos cuida
aya ya ya yai

que bonita es esta vida
y aunque no sea para siempre
si la vivo con mi gente es bonita hasta la muerte
con aguardiente y tequila

me gusta escuchar la voz de una guitarra
brindar por aquel amigo que se fue
sentir el abrazo de la madrugada y llenarme la mirada
de un hermoso amanecer

Aunque no me creas/ si me lo propongo/ lograre olvidarte/ porque a fin de cuentas/ no soy tan cobarde./ Y termino todo una de estas tardes/ no sera dificil buscar algún sitio donde refugiarme/ donde nunca mas vuelvas a encontrarme. (Polo Montañez)

Hey while we are on songs - there is a duet that is popular in live music bars like Kukamakara and El Sitio. Its a spanish song that everyone really gets into - I have no idea what its called or who sings it, but any odeas appreciated on what it could be (I know I wasnt much help with my description!!).It sort of goes fatsre then slower and into a cresendo.

The CD has a ranchera version of the song which is also very good. The other songs on the CD are okay.

A must song on Chiva rides as well. Another good song in Vivo en el Limbo. DePronto, sorry not been able to help while you were in Bogotà.
