"Recuerdos De Otra Edad"
"Anjanas"

Can someone translate these words/sentences to English? I do not know if this is written in Spanish or Portuguese language (I do not speak neither of these two).

I apologize to all members. Thanks in advance!

Literally, the Spanish saying means:

"Remembrances (or Memories) of another age". - Anjanas

Are you having recollections of your boyhood? Or are you referring to Pablo Bolivar's musical composition?

Anjanas are mythical, benign Spanish Fairies that assume semi-human forms - something akin to Irish Leprechauns. Hope this helps.

Dear Mr Montemayor,

You have surprised me with your reply, as you almost always do. I must say you are very unpredictable and extraordinary person.
Yes, I was referring to Pablo Bolivar's beautiful tech-ambient release titled "Anjanas". Tracks like "Recuerdos De Otra Edad" and "Just Perfect Landscapes" are amongst one of the warmest electronic textures I have ever heard - so I simply had to find out what is hidden beneath the titles written in Spanish. And it fits perfectly with music...

Thank you again, sir.

"Cerca De Mi Cicatriz"?
"Cuenta Cuentos"?

Moving right along with our Spanish Seminar .....

Cerca De Mi Cicatriz = Close to my scar

Cuenta Cuentos = Tell Me (or Tell) Stories

It's difficult to translate phrases accurately in any language since we really don't know the context under which the phrases are written (or said). However, I think I can guess what Pablito is trying to say......

If Profe is reading this, maybe we can have the privilege of his 2-cents' worth.

Language sounds very poetic...
I will dare myself to recommend you to get a copy of this interesting release. Although it is a minimalistic electronic sound, I'm sure you will find many beautiful spots in there.

One track is titled "Noom", and such word does not exist in English language, at least according to Collins dictionary. Is this also a Spanish term?

Zauber:

One of my daughters gave me a copy of this release as well as Andrea Bocelli's new CD, "Amor". At first, I doubted the value of Bolivar's release since he is very young - in his 20's I think. However, I was very impressed with "Recuerdos de otra edad". I have been a staunch Bocelli advocate and his rendition of "Amapola" and "Cuando me enamoro" has reinforced my faith in his talented voice.

"Noom", in my experience, is not a Spanish word - colloquial or otherwise. Since I believe that Bolivar is Catalan (from Barcelona), it might be a Catalan word. As you are probably aware, there are various languages spoken in what we know as Spain - Castilian, Catalan, Basque, and some dialects.

Good day Mr: Montemayor

I never heard about Pablo Bolivar's electronic music or another spanish music like this.

"Pero este foro es para los que utilizamos la lengua de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Machado, Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, entre otros.
Realmente me gustaría escuchar sobre estos compositores y su tipo de musica."

Apologize me Zauberberg for my "ex abrupt" , but my language is very beautiful and expresive.

Good luck
