Hive Open Mic Week 285 "El ratón" (The mouse) Cover by @sayury

Saludos, comunidad, espero que todos estén pasando por momentos gratos, que tengan la bendición de la salud física, mental y emocional y mucho tiempo para dedicar a la música que amamos.

Esta semana la propuesta de Hive Open Mic es que interpretemos "Cat Songs" , es decir, canciones que nos hablen acerca de gatitos. Imagino que habrá quien, al ver el título de la canción que traigo - "El Ratón" - dirán jocosamente "¿Qué le paso a Hive account@sayury, se volvió loca y no avisó?"

Y no es que desee, tampoco llevar la contraria, ocurre que esta canciòn, que tiene el nombre de "El Ratón" trata acerca de un gato. Un gato llamado Silvestre Felino, fiestero y parrandero pero que tiene un gran problema: cuando se va de fiesta, "dondequiera que se mete su gata lo va a buscar". De nada vale que trate de fugarse de noche, brincando la cerca, porque apenas comienza la diversiòn llega ella y él tiene qué "echar a correr". El meollo del asunto es que él no sabe que el chismoso, el que mantiene a la gata enterada de todo lo que el hace es...un ratón.

El interpretar esta canción me alejó un poco de mi zona de confort. Esta canción del gérnero "salsa" fue un gran éxito en la voz del inolvidable Chero Feliciano, quien no solo la interpretò sino que tambièn la compuso, en la dècada de los 60.

Espero les guste la versiòn que hago de lamisma y les gusten tambièn mis gatitos quienes se prestaron para posar para esta ocasiòn.

Greetings, community, I hope everyone is having a good time, that they are blessed with physical, mental, and emotional health, and that they have plenty of time to dedicate to the music we love.

This week, Hive Open Mic's proposal is for us to perform "Cat Songs," that is, songs that tell us about kittens. I imagine there will be those who, upon seeing the title of the song I'm bringing—"El Ratón"—will jokingly say, "What happened to Hive account@sayury? Did she go crazy and didn't warn us?"

And it's not that I want to, nor am I contradicting you. It just so happens that this song, which is called "El Ratón," is about a cat. A cat named Silvestre Felino, a party animal and a reveler, but who has a big problem: when he goes to a party, "wherever he goes, his wife - cat will come looking for him."

There's no point in him trying to escape at night, jumping over the fence, because as soon as the fun begins, she arrives, and he has to "run away." The crux of the matter is that he doesn't know that the gossip, the one who keeps the cat informed of everything he does, is... a mouse.

Singing this song took me a little out of my comfort zone. This salsa song was a huge hit with the unforgettable Chero Feliciano, who not only performed it but also composed it in the 1960s.

I hope you like my version of it and that you also like my kitties, who lent themselves to pose for this occasion.
