Hello Hivers good morning to all, today I will interpret a very well known song called "Algo contigo" a song by the singer-songwriter Chico Novarro (Bernardo Mitnik).
In a very personal way, I find its lyrics deeply poetic and romantic, it accompanied me during my childhood and my youth until the 40 years that I have in this beautiful gift we call life.

It was one of those favorite songs of my grandparents and of my aunts' youth playing and singing with the guitar or on the organ.
Then the first serenade I received from the one who would be the "Florentino Ariza" of my life, was precisely with that song, I was just 13 years old and that slim and nervous violinist appeared at my grandparents' house with mariachi included to give me that song.
(My cousin sister sang in that mariachi 🤭🤣) that's why I think he got up the courage to confront my grandfather.

It was past midnight, I was sound asleep and my grandmother woke me up excited, I think more than me 🤣🤭 because they were bringing me a serenade, I was sleepy and I didn't want to get up.
The truth is that I got up, my grandmother went into battle with my hair and I went out not at all dressed up by the way 🥴 with a sleepy face to receive the serenade.
My adored violinist dedicated "madrigal" and "Something with you" to me and well, let's say I was smitten 🤭🤣🤣.

I said goodbye with my grandmother beside me laughing and happy, my grandfather leaning out the window with his very serious face, I was a little scared because I thought he would challenge me and in the morning I went out as every Saturday to accompany my grandmother to the shopping, but what would be my surprise?☝🏽🙈🙉🙉.
That my grandfather decided, that my grandmother would stay home and I would go with him.

I was a little nervous because I thought he was upset, but he took me to the newsstand, bought me some comics, then took me to the bakery on the corner for my coconut acemitas, to buy coffee at the factory that was right in front of the big house.
That's why I say that my childhood included the smell of bread and coffee 😍🤗.
And then we went to the free market for empanadas.
I was 😱👀?

My grandfather Rubén Elías Mota Gamez, He was proud to boast to his granddaughter that he had been serenaded, and to every friend he greeted he would say.
Do you know that my girl was serenaded yesterday? And I was like an ostrich wanting to hide with my face like a tomato, not knowing what to do.
When we returned home I asked him:
Grandpa, you didn't get upset about that?
He told me no, that he was happy for me and that it was a very romantic and brave act of that young man, but that he still would not enter the house and I would receive him at the entrance and with my cousin as chaperone 🙈🥴🤣.

My grandfather was one of those super serious, tough men, a "llanero" of few words and a lot of grumbling, but with beautiful feelings, an incurable romantic, with the soul of an artist, super cultured and wise. My grandmother and he were the perfect balance, they totally complemented each other.

The truth is that a few days ago I was with my children taking them to their choir concert at the Sistema de Orquestas to which they belong,

and I ran into that young "Florentino Ariza" from the serenade with whom I had two years of old-fashioned love, the kind that, because of its purity and innocence, never weighs and is never forgotten.
We both looked at each other, smiled at a distance and I could not help remembering that song that has been part of me for so many years.

"Algo Contigo"
(Chico Novarro)
¿Hace falta que te diga
Que me muero por tener algo contigo?
¿Es que no te has dado cuenta
De lo mucho que me cuesta ser tu amigo?
Ya no puedo acercarme a tu boca
Sin deseártela de una manera loca
Necesito controlar tu vida
Saber quién te besa y quién te abriga
¿Hace falta que te diga
Que me muero por tener algo contigo?
¿Es que no te has dado cuenta
De lo mucho que me cuesta ser tu amigo?
Ya no puedo continuar espiando
Día y noche, tu llegar adivinando
Ya no sé con qué inocente excusa pasar por tu casa
Ya me quedan muy pocos caminos
Y aunque pueda parecer un desatino
Yo quisiera no morirme sin tener algo contigo
Ya no puedo continuar espiando
Día y noche, tu llegar adivinando
Ya no sé con qué inocente excusa pasar por tu casa
Ya me quedan muy pocos caminos
Y aunque pueda parecerte un desatino
Yo quisiera no morirme sin tener algo contigo

"Algo Contigo"
(Chico Novarro)
Do I need to tell you
That I'm dying to have something with you?
Don't you realize how hard it is for me
How hard it is for me to be your friend?
I can't get close to your mouth
Without wanting you in a crazy way
I need to control your life
Know who's kissing you and who's holding you
Do I need to tell you
That I'm dying to have something with you?
Haven't you noticed
How hard it is for me to be your friend?
I can't go on spying anymore
Day and night, you come guessing
I don't know anymore with what innocent excuse to pass by your house
I have very few roads left
And although it may seem foolish
I wouldn't want to die without having something with you
I can no longer continue to spy
Day and night, your arrival guessing
I no longer know with what innocent excuse to pass by your house
I have very few roads left
And although it may seem foolish to you
I wouldn't want to die without having something with you
