Pero a Tu Lado

In one of those serendipitious moments, I chanced upon this song while watching an old, obscure Spanish film called "Bailame el Agua" with the gorgeous Pilar Lopez de Ayala and really cute in an I-want-to-put-him-in-my-pocket-and-take-him-home kind of way Unax Ugalde.

The movie (with a not-so-hairy Curtis) is about the disenfranchised youths in the streets of Madrid and the requisite prostitution and drug problems. Not to say the least, the movie is depressing, it affects you like the 1995 movie Kids. The haunting song is by the oh-so beautiful Enrique
Urquijo, and in one of life's ironies, he died of an overdose a month before the movie opened.

He was found on 17 November 1999 at the doorway of Calle
del Espiritu Santo No. 23 in Barrio Malasaña, Madrid (it runs parallel to the street where MA lives / used to live).

Several versions of the song:

Pero a Tu
Lado (Los Secretos with Enrique Urquijo)
Pero a Tu Lado
(Los Secretos with vocals by Alvaro Urquijo)
Pero a Tu Lado (Nacho
Campillo)

He muerto y he resucitado
con mis cenizas un árbol he plantado
su fruto ha dado
y desde hoy algo ha empezado.

He roto todos mis poemas
los de tristezas y de penas
lo he pensado
y hoy sin dudar vuelvo a tu lado.

Ayúdame y te habré ayudado
que hoy he soñado
en otra vida en otro mundo,
pero a tu lado.

Ya no persigo sueños rotos
los he cosido con el hilo de tus ojos
y te he cantado
al son de acordes aún no inventados.

Ayúdame y te habré ayudado
que hoy he soñado
en otra vida, en otro mundo,
pero a tu lado.
