Como los olivos (Like the olives...)

Now this song is one of the sexiest ever. It reminds me of meeting my wife for the first time in El Salvador. The main refrain translates to:

I am from the South, you are from the North
we do not speak the same language, but we do it so what does it matter?
I am from the South, you are from the North
we do not speak the same language, but we do it so what does it matter?
Because I will take you, soul and all,
and teach you to dance,
so that I will give you my skin until I drive you crazy,
I will take you, soul and all,
and I will teach you to dance,
so that I will give you my skin until I lose myself completely.

or, as the original reads...

Yo soy del sur tu eres del norte,
no hablamo' el mismo idioma pero haremo' q no importe,
yo soy del sur tu eres del norte,
no hablamo' el mismo idioma pero haremo' que no importe,
porque te robare hasta el alma,
te enseñare a bailar,
que te voy a dar mi piel hasta hacerte enloquecer,
te robare hasta el alma,
te enseñare a bailar,
que te voy a dar mi piel hasta pedirme mas,

When my wife and I met, we could not speak each other's language, but now I am fluent in Spanish and she is pretty good with English.




Here is a video of Bebe singing this song in a recording session. Bebe is probably not most guy's cup of tea, but she is exactly the kind of woman I find irresistible. Physically, she is very much like my wife.
