Today I wanted to highlight the third Spanish song here at Translation Confessional Music Edition. It’s called “La edad del cielo” by Uruguayan singer and songwriter Jorge Drexler.
I actually only became aware of this song and Jorge Drexler’s body of work because of last episode’s featured singer, Brazilian singer Paulinho Moska, who recorded a version in Portuguese called “A idade do céu.”
By the way, here's a clip of the 2005 Academy Award ceremony in which Drexler's Oscar-winning song, "Al otro lado del río," was performed by Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana: https://youtu.be/7hR8RIbC-Y0
Well, you can listen to this episode's song here: http://bit.ly/TC-S01-E08
After listening to this episode, head on over to YouTube for the full experience, since I'm translating the lyrics into English on this video: https://youtu.be/F0YBWqAenjA
