I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.

I've personally reached the point where the sound of MP3s are so uncompelling, because so much is lost in translation.

I think when you translate songs, you lose the real essence and the meaning.

Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.

The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.

Always when I write my music, I take my guitar, and I improvise always with a melody, you know, lyrics in Spanish. But sometimes I use some words in English. I don't know why. Maybe because I listen to a lot of music in English.

If I make a speech, I need a translator. But music does not need a translation. People understand me through the sound. That I think is very important. This is just one planet, like one family.

Music and language are a vital element. We, as actors and directors, offer it to people who want to experience it. Sometimes the actual meaning is less important than the words themselves.

Music controls moods and accents life's moments. It's necessary for every situation.

I think it keeps your brain moving faster, singing in another language.
