The Perfume of Tango

And since we are discussing roses and their beauty/fragrance, I can surely remember an incredible piece of music "Perfume" (Spanish pronunciation: /per´fume/), which is a legitimate child of the Rio de la Plata (River Plate) culture (Argentina and Uruguay), arranged and executed by Luciano Supervielle with Bajofondo, sung by Adriana Varela and composed by Luciano Supervielle (music) and Jorge Drexler (lyrics).

Better check the lyrics and the video for a journey into the unusual, uncontrollably seductive world of the so-called electronic tango.

Perfume (Spanish version)

Perseguiré los rastros de este afán
como busca el agua a la sed
la estela de tu perfume.

Me atravesó, tu suave vendaval
rumbo a tu recuerdo seguí,
la senda de tu perfume.

No hay soledad que aguante el envión
el impulso antiguo y sutil
del eco de tu perfume

Me atravesó, tu suave vendaval
rumbo a tu recuerdo seguí
la estela de tu perfume,
del eco de tu perfume.

Perfume (English version)

I will follow the traces of this desire
as water that aims at quenching thirst
the trail your perfume leaves.

Your gentle gale pierced through me
bound for your memory I followed
the trail your perfume leaves.

There is no solitude to bear the shove
the old, subtle impulse
of the echo of your perfume.

Your gentle gale pierced through me
bound for your memory I followed
the trail your perfume leaves,
the echo of your perfume.

Roses? (en catala)

Mmmm ... les roses ... les nostres amigues perennes, belles i perfumades, amb els seus fruits per elaborar la melmelada o el te. La seva bellesa retratada per artistes com Redouté, Monet, Cézanne, Renoir. El seu olor hábilment guardat en exquisits perfums. Me fan pensar en Cadbury Roses, les miniatures de xocolata, les bombons assequibles tot l´any pero també un regal típic per El Dia de les Meres i Nadal al Reigne Unit.

Tot sobre les roses sembla estar relacionat amb el plaer. I el plaer pot ser trobat en aquest racó dedicat a les personnes que volen experimentar Buenos Aires des de un punt de vista diferent, únic, als qui les agrada explorar el costat poc usual o insólit d´aqueste ciutat. Si t´agraden les coses modernes, amb tendéncia, amb estil, pero alhora cruas, relaxades, pluralistes, sense pretensió, benvingut  al racó d´Apple Scruff.

A reveure,

Roses?

Mmmm ... roses, our perennial friends with their beauty and fragrance and hips made into marmalade or brewed for tea. Their beauty portrayed by artists Redouté, Monet, Cézanne, Renoir. Their scent cleverly kept in exquisite perfumes. They have made me think of Cadbury Roses, the miniature chocolates available all year round but also a typical gift for Mother´s day or Christmas in Britain.

Everything about roses seems to be related with pleasure. And pleasure you may find in this nook dedicated to those who would like to experience Buenos Aires from a different angle, a unique perspective, who would like to explore the unusual sides. If you enjoy hip, trendy, elegant, in style, but still rough, relaxed, pluralistic, unpretentious, welcome to Apple Scruff´s nook.

Ciao for now,
