A Flor De Piel by Yordano

Another phenomenal Venezuelan singer/songwriter is Yordano (linked to Manantial De Corazon on YouTube).  He has some of the best lyrics I've heard.

A Flor De Piel is one of my favorite songs by Yordano*.  It was interesting because he didn't originally make it famous.  Yordano started as a composer for several Venezuelan artists and "A Flor De Piel" was picked up by Luz Marina - a Venezuelan singer with a beautiful and sensual voice.

Then about a year later, I saw Yordano singing the same song on TV.  His voice was not as nice, but you could tell he was the song's composer - his interpretation didn't have much to it, but definitely had a lot of feeling.  Here are the lyrics and the translation.

*NOTE: Yordano has so many great songs, though... it's very difficult to have a favorite.  I will discuss other Yordano songs in future blog posts.  I hope you enjoy this one. 

Purchase the album with this song.

Salgo del cuarto a descansar de una cama vacía y sin arreglar de tu perfume. Por fín en la calle de pronto me pierdo entre la gente que sale de un cine y tu apareces como una sombra en cada calle que cruzo, en cada rostro sin nombre, en cada esquina te escondes, en cada noche que cae, en cada día que rompe, siempre te llevo a flor de piel, a flor de piel, con tus labios todavía a flor de piel. Ya no soporto más el recuerdo de aquella noche de luna llena, perdido en tus brazos. Entro en un bar, me quiero aturdir alguien me habla y no puedo evitar que tu aparescas como una sombra en cada frase que oigo, cada mentira que digo, cada palabra te nombra, en cada noche que cae. en cada día que rompe, siempre te llevo a flor de piel, a flor de piel con tus labios todavía a flor de piel, en mi alma todavía en tu piel

I leave the bedroom To rest From an unkempt And empty bed Still with your perfume Finally on the street I'm suddenly lost Among the crowd Coming out of a theater And you show up Like a shadow In every street I cross In every nameless face In every corner you hide In every night that falls In every daybreak I always carry you On the surface of my skin On the surface of my skin With your lips still On the surface of my skin I can no longer stand The memory Of that night With a full moon I was lost in your arms I enter a bar I want to get lost Someone speaks to me And I can't avoid For you to appear Like a shadow In every phrase I hear Each lie I tell Each word says your name In every night that falls In every daybreak I always carry you On the surface of my skin On the surface of my skin With your lips still On the surface of my skin In my soul still On the surface of your skin
