tiny_tim Jul 05 2012 at 1:36 AM	jl- totally agree. Such emotion in Pedro’s voice. One of my favorites from PMG.
robinvt Jul 04 2012 at 6:58 PM	Yes I agree, beautiful tune ... I don’t know how great of a translation it is, but I found this one at http://www.oocities.org/scoguitar/masalla-english.txt "Beyond"- "Mas Alla" It’s like clouds with out sky Starts its flight the afternoon There are no shadows, it isn’t real time has vanished There are no songs to be heard... The sun burns up to its light It’s a town of ghosts So much of this afternoon will drown, will erase from my memories the morning Beyond It’s the deepest blue, Followed my steps the moon What streets will see me walk away my loneliness I don’t know if I know how to arrive but I know how to leave, pain doesn’t veil the direction How to talk to you without speaking, How to make the entire sea stay calm from the sea? Wind of an eternal summer tangling the white thread Blind-glow of January knitting back the shroud I come to be the salt, the stones, to be born of waves and algae I come to sun-rise! to wake up the day Slowly, slow...
