Video – Desespero by Artefacto

I first saw Artefacto at Altavoz.  I was impressed by the group, overall.  They are a Medellin band lead by Felipe Carmona, 30 (yes, he’s 30…it has been a topic of discussion and jokes ever since I found out.)  Felipe has been very kind to me with offering insights into the Colombian music scene, and I wanted to share this video for him.

I love this video because you can see the Metro running in the background.  I have been using this song to help me learn Spanish.  Here are the lyrics:

DESESPERO

Fue una noche fría y cruel

Cuando me hiciste perder

En tu risa que sabe a miel

Me deleito y luego se fue

Dime porque haces llover

Siempre que te quiero ver

Dame de ti dame de ti

En tus ojos me perdí

A donde vas

Cuando yo pienso en ti

Donde estas cuando muero por ti.
