Incredible Phrasing (Video)

[JSngry]

This is in a class with the best of Sinatra, at least...such control, such consciousness of the line and it's contour relative to the lyric,,,and total control of same....I know nothing of this guy, was just looking for versions of this, one of the most beautiful of boleros, and found it. Stunning, I think.

Lyrics (w/my translation, again, upgrades more than welcome):

Si pudiera expresarte como es de inmenso,

en el fondo de mi corazón mi amor por ti.

Es amor delirante que abraza mi alma,

es pasión que atormenta mi corazón.

Siempre tú estas conmigo en mi tristeza,

estás en mi alegría y en mi sufrir,

porque en ti se encierra toda mi vida

si no estoy contigo mi bien no se vivir.

Es mi amor, delirio de estar contigo

y yo soy dichoso mi bien porque me quieres, también

If only I could express how immense it is

At the bottom of my heart, my love for you.

It is delirious love that embraces my soul

It is passion that torments my heart.

Always you are with me in my most profound sadness

You are with me in my joy and in my suffering

Because of you my entire life is locked away

If I am not with you, my (source of) wellness, I don't know how to live.

This is my love, delirious to be with you

And I am blessed my (source of) wellness, because you also want me.

(Gotta be a better translation for "mi bien" that keeps the concept of "wellness"...)

Up. No sense in letting singing this good this sink w/o a trace.
