Song sung at dance hall.


What is the name of the song sung in Spanish when Damon enters dance hall?

reply

That song is "Porque?" sung by the great Raul Malo. It's available on the OST CD.

¿Porqué?

¿Porqué tu me lloras así?
Yo no puedo verte sufrir
No sé lo que será de mí
Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

No soy un hombre sín compasión
Yo quiero explicarte y darte la razón
Por cual nos separamos
Si algún día nos encontramos
Será possible de empezar de nuevo otra vez

¿Porqué tu me lloras así?
Yo no puedo verte sufrir
No sé lo que será de mí
Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

English translation:
Why?
Why do you cry like that?
I can’t bear to see you suffer
I don’t know what will happen to me
Without you by my side
Like a burnt out fire
I’m gonna feel

I am not a man without feeling
I want to explain and give you a reason
For why we are going to part
But if one day we should meet again
It might be possible to start over

Why do you cry like that?
I can’t bear to see you suffer
I don’t know what will happen to me
Without you by my side
Like a burnt out fire
I’m gonna feel
Without you by my side
Like a burnt out fire
I’m gonna feel

When I heard him sing, I thought that's just the style of Raul Malo, but isn't it actually Daniel Lanois. He looks quite similar to Raul, minus the beard!

reply

The original soundtrack credits list Raul Malo as the singer and he confirmed that to me when I had an opportunity to meet him after a show. He also said he hasn't sung it since. I told him he should and that it would be nice if he did an album all in Spanish some time. He said he was working on it.
