In honor of this past weekend's visit to Uruguay, here's a sweet song about wide-eyed youthful enthusiasm (which I admit to still possessing) and the passage of time by el uruguayo, Jorge Drexler. The name of the song translates as, 'a song brought me here.' In fact, having listened to Drexler over many years, I can say that his music made me all the more interested in making the journey to Colonia and Montevideo, Uruguay.
No matter that he's lived in Madrid for over a decade.
"Las naciones, como los hombres, no tienen alas; hacen sus viajes a pie, paso par paso."
"Nations, like men, do not have wings; they make their journeys on foot, step by step."
-Juan Bautista Alberdi
