Ang Huling El Bimbo [translated into English by Yours Truly]

Okay, i was bored. I did not have anything to do, though i had a ton of work to do XD ... so here it is. :D

I cant resist not putting rhymes [it's cuter that way :)) ] so, bahala na kayo XD

 

Ang Huling El Bimbo [in English]

The Last El Bimbo

You looked like Paraluman
When we were still so young
And you were so good at dancing
May it be the boogie or the cha cha
But my favorite would be
is how you swayed to the El Bimbo
T'was amazing, entertaining,
goosebumpingly-captivating.

Just as we left school
I'd be going to your house
The afternoon spent wholly
Of you teaching me

Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

My body would just freeze
As the record would play
Astounded by the sway of your hips
and into your deep and beautiful eyes
Life would just seem so much brighter
When both of us held each other
And we slowly slip away
As my hand slides off your flawless arm

I should have told you long ago
'Cause even though now it's lame, this dance is the only one i know.

Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

A lot of years have come to pass
We never saw each other again
I heard that you already have a son
But you still have no husband
You're a dishwasher in Ermita, that's what i hear
And one night, you got into an accident in a dark alley near

All my reveries suddenly faded away
And now i dance with you in my dreams anyway
 
Chorus:
Our hands held each other,
And none of us knew, none of us bothered
That you taught this heart of mine,
What it means to love truly for the first time

Avatar: Sozin's Comet [Series Finale]

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
well, we are all aware of the fantastic tv series Avatar: The Legend of Aang. You know the "bending" and stuffl. i love the series, the animation is just right and the story is immaculate. but i will comment on the last episodes, they were...uh.. inti-...crea-...wonderfu--.. i cant really put it into words but, it rocked!

Avatar: Sozin's Comet is divided into four parts...
1. The Phoenix King --- Ozi, gets all powerful and all hope seems to be lost cause the fire nation's gonna wipe out everything and Aang's like weak.
2. The Old Masters --- well, Aang goes on a "spiritual journey" [just like most what happens most times in the series], team avatar is separated. They meet the old masters, that will be rescuing ba sing sei.
3. Into the Inferno --- MAN! i love the fighting scenes! our heroes are quite losing here but MAN! i still love it. :D this is where the 4 battles begin.
4. Avatar Aang --- MAN! yea you guessed it. i love the fighting scenes here too. :)) well our heroes triumph and aang brings peace to the world.

well that's just like a summary of what happened.

asides from the great fighting scenes and animation, the plot just seemed so great in these last four episodes. all those characters, all those stories, destinies, intertwined. a lot of the old characters resurfaced, showing that this fight is not Aang's alone. it was all of them.

one of the great things i admired in this story is the contradiction of Aang having so much power and yet having no strength in taking a life. at first i was like, MAN! this is for the world, just kill him. and all of the other avatars think so too. but aang made it through, having the right principles. he defeated the fire lord without killing him. it was just wisdom. violence cannot end violence.

SIGH. that was a lot to say. :)
i just love it so much! :))

i highly recommend you watch it!
Anticipate the upcoming Avatar movie! Coming this Dec 2009! ;)
