Este Momento Suspendido En El Tiempo (Or, You And Me And The Doctor Makes Three)

A few things to know before checking it out:

1. Half the songs are in Spanish!
2. It has spoilers for the whole season!







Okay, it's not a truly bilingual fanmix, because I haven't translated the English songs into Spanish. This is because Spanish is a beautiful language and I would hate to butcher it by trying to do my own translations. If there's a demand, I will absolutely try, but, um, keep in mind that I haven't actually generated Spanish since my semester abroad, and that was over six months ago.

All of the songs are in .mp3 format. There's an extended notes file that contains my rationale for picking the songs and full English translations of all the Spanish songs. (These translations were also done by me, so if you see something that looks wrong, it probably is! If you drop me a line, I'll totally fix it.) There's one song, Bounce (Clocks vs. Chicago), that is a mashup and I don't know who mashed it - if you know, please let me know so I can credit! It's a wonderful song, and I love it, but I've had it for ages and I have no idea who made it.

1. Eterno, Julieta Venegas

Quiero que sea eterno, eterno
Quiero que sea eterno, eterno
Quiero este momento suspendido en el tiempo

Sé muy bien los leyes que rigen al universo
Todo lo que está vivo cambia a cada momento
Será demasiado pedir, quizás
Pero lo hago igual
No voy a dejar nunca de intentarlo

(I want this moment to be eternal, eternal
I want this moment to be eternal, eternal
I want this moment to be suspended in time

I know full well the laws that govern the universe
Everything that's alive changes every moment
It might be too much to ask, perhaps
But I'll do it anyway
I'll never give up trying)

2. Somos Aire, El Sueño de Morfeo

Es verdad, basta con mirarnos
No cayó en balde el paso de los años
Y es verdad que hay momentos mágicos
Diez mil puertas entreabiertas, esperando una respuesta
Y es verdad
Y es verdad que somos aire
Una vida por delante y a volar

(It's true, just look at us
The passing of the years wasn't in vain
And it's true that there are magical moments
Ten thousand half-opened doors, waiting for an answer
And it's true
And it's true that we are air
One life moving forward and to fly)

3. Polvo de Estrellas, Jorge Drexler

Vale, una vida lo que un sol, una vida lo que un sol vale
Se aprende en la cuna, se aprende en la cama
Se aprende en la puerta de un hospital
Se aprende de golpe, se aprende de a poco
Y a veces se aprende a recién al final
Toda la gloria es nada
Toda la vida es sagrada

(It's worth, one life that which a sun, one life that which a sun is worth
You learn it in the cradle, you learn it in the bed
You learn it at the door of a hospital
You learn it suddenly, you learn it gradually
And sometime you learn it just when it ends
All glory is nothing
All life is sacred)

4. Un Cuento Sobre El Agua, La Oreja de Van Gogh

Y que me cojas de la mano, que susurres que has llegado, que me prometas que a mi lado eres feliz
No haré preguntas, no habrá recuerdos haré que tu pasado sea solo un cuento que sobre el agua un día el viento escribió

(Take me by the hand, whisper that you've arrived, promise me that you're happy by my side
There won't be questions, there won't be memories, we'll make your past just a tale that the wind once wrote on the water

5. No Hace Falta, Julieta Venegas

No hace falta hablar sobre tu pasado
Si eso terminó
Hubo en tu camino una direccion
Te trajo a mi
No tengas miedo de mostrarte
Tal y como eres, es mejor asi
Sin temores es mejor, asi
Sin palabras es mejor, asi

(We don't need to talk about your past
If it's already over
Don't be afraid to show yourself
Exactly as you are, it's better that way
Without fear, it's better that way
Without words, it's better that way)

6. Espacio Sideral, Jesse y Joy

Quisieria darte el mundo entero
La luna, el cielo, el sol, la mar
Regalarte las estrellas
En una caja de cristal
Llevarte al espacio sideral
Y volar como lo hace Superman

(I'd like to give you the whole world
The moon, the sky, the sun, the sea
Give you a gift of the stars
In a crystal box
Take you to outer space
And fly like Superman)

7. Detalles, Chambao

Abriendo bien los ojos
Fijarme en los detalles
Despertar mis sentidos
Fundirme con el aire

Escapar del tiempo y vivir sin miedo
Contemplar la vida y sus misterios
Escuchar el silencio y perderme dentro
Encontrar respuestas en el susurro del viento

(Opening my eyes wide
Focusing on the details
Wake up my senses
Melt with the air
Escape from time and live without fear
Contemplate life and its mysteries
Listen to the silence and lose myself in it
Find the answers in the whispering of the wind)

8. Una y Otra Vez, Jesse y Joy

Mírame
Verás tu también
Sentirás
Que puedes volar
Tómame
No mires detrás
Hoy seré
Tu estrella fugaz
Que despega
Toda esta energía que tu vida me dá
Crece cada día que me haces hallar
Una y otra vez
Como en la mañana si resplandecerá
Este sentimiento que detiene el tiempo
Una y otra vez

(Look at me
Look at yourself, too
You feel like
You can fly
Take me
Don't look backwards
Today I'll be
Your shooting star
That takes off
All this energy that your life gives me
Grows every day that you make me find myself
One and another time
Like how in the morning if you blaze
This sentiment that holds back time
One and another time)

9. Zamba del Olvido, Jorge Drexler

Olvídame
Esta zamba te lo pide
Te pide mi corazón
Que no me olvides, que no me olvides
Deja el recuerdo caer
Como fruto por su peso
Yo sé bien que no hay olvido
Que pueda má que tus besos
Yo digo que el tiempo borra
La huella de una mirada
Mi zamba dice no hay huella
Que dure más en la alma

(Forget me
This zamba asks it of you
My heart asks you
Not to forget me, not to forget me
Let the memory fall
Like fruit by its weight
I know full well that there's no obscurity
That can manage more than your kisses
I say that time erases
The footprint of a glance
My zamba says there's no footprint
That endures more in the soul)

10. Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor, Juanes

Y es que vale más un año tardío que un siglo vació amor
Y es que vale más tener bien llenito el corazón
Por eso yo quiero que en mi mente siempre tu cariño este bien fuerte
Aunque estemos lejos o aunque estemos cerca del final
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo
Si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor, y compañía en mi corazon
...
Me siento débil cuando estoy sin ti
Y me hago fuerte cuando estas aquí
Sin ti yo ya no sé que es vivir
Mi vida es un túnel sin tu luz

(One year later is worth more than a century without love
It's worth more to have a full heart
That's why I always want your love to be strong in my heart
Although we may be far away, or close to the end
Because I'm worth nothing, because I have nothing
If I don't have the best
Your love and company in my heart
...
I feel weak when I'm without you
You make me strong when you're here
Without you I don't know what living is
My life is a tunnel without your love)

11. A Talk With George, Jonathan Coulton

Time and tide will never care
Not so far from here to there
We just go
So enjoy yourself, do the things that matter
'Cause there isn't time and space to do it all
Love the things you try, drink a cocktail, wear a tie
Show a little grace if you should fall
Don't live another day unless you make it count
There's someone else that you're supposed to be
There's someone deep inside of you that still wants out
And shame on you if you don't let it free

12. Bounce (Clocks vs. Chicago), Coldplay vs. Sufjan Stevens

Confusion never stops (I drove to New York)
Closing walls, and ticking clocks (In a van, with my friends)
Gonna come back and take you home (We slept in parking lots)
I could not stop that you now know (I don't mind, I don't mind)
Come out upon my seas (I was in love with the place)
Curse missed opportunities (In my mind, in my mind)
Am I a part of the cure? (I made a lot of mistakes)
Or am I part of the disease? (In my mind, in my mind)

13. Where the Streets Have No Name, Vanessa Carlton

I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

14. Rocky Took A Lover, Bell X1

He said they're like headlights in the rearview mirror
They're closer than they seem
And from this gutter we're still staring at the stars
She said you won't go away and shine?
Last night all you did was curse those stars
Because they sang to you of home

15. Kid Things, Counting Crows

Hey what you think
Is you're not getting any younger
And what I know is that
You're not really very old
I know you want to say no, no, no
'Cause it feels much better in the summer
Well, if it ain't warm where you're sitting
Then kitten come on in out of the cold
'Cause all I know is when I'm with you
Then I don't need anything else

16. You Ruined Everything, Jonathan Coulton

I was fine
I pulled myself together
Just in time
To throw myself away
Once my perfect world was gone I knew
You ruined everything
In the nicest way

17. Umbrella, Scott Simons

When the sun shines we'll shine together
You know I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

18. Good Lovin', the Rascals

Well I was feeling oh-so-bad
I asked my family Doctor just what I had
I said Doctor (Doctor!)
Mister MD (Doctor!)
Well can you tell me
What's ailing me?
He said, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yes indeed, all I really need
Is good lovin'

19. I'm Yours / Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Straight No Chaser

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me

20. Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground, Coldplay

Let me go, boys, let me go
Push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below
Rocks are waiting, boys, rocks await
Swoop down from the sky to catch me like a bird of prey
Singing now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my head won't stop
You wait a lifetime to be found
And now my feet won't touch the ground

~*~HAVE SOME BONUS TRACKS!~*~

Good Lovin', The Who

Well I was feeling oh-so-bad
I asked my family Doctor just what I had
I said Doctor (Doctor!)
Mister MD (Doctor!)
Well can you tell me
What's ailing me?
He said, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yes indeed, all I really need
Is good lovin'

Transporte, Jorge Drexler

Se trata de un leve pulsar
Que se abre camino hacia tí
Cruzando las estaciones, constelaciones,
Los momentos
Digo que esta vida es llevadera
Sólo porque sientes tú
Lo que yo siento
Donde tu estás
Yo tengo el Norte
Y no hay nada como tu amor
Como medio de transporte

(It's about pushing a lever
That opens the way to you
Crossing stations, constellations
The moments
I say that this life is bearable
Only because you feel
What I feel
Where you are
I know North
And there's nothing like your love
And a form of transportation)
