The above photo was taken yesterday, at the main plaza of the Town that I live close to. Where at least 150 people (myself included) took part in a flash mob, to express our freedom and say that enough is enough. The last couple of weeks we have been meeting regularly to practice a song called "Seguir Bailando", which is originally a french song called "Danser Encore" (Keep Dancing). wrote a post a few weeks ago about similar flash mobs happening in France.
When we were rehearsing the energy was amazing, we had some people playing instruments as we all sang and we also practiced a simple dance routine as well. The lyrics were written last year and they are all about the lock down, the affect it has had on us and the importance of us all making the time to keep dancing to keep our spirits high!
When we performed it yesterday, in the main plaza, we created such a positive and powerful energy that was projected out into the world. It was such an amazing experience and it reminded me of some of the Rainbow gatherings I have attended in the past, of the magic we create when we come together and express ourselves through music and dancing.
Yes this past year has been tough on so many of us and this felt like such a huge release. With so many people from all walks of life, coming together to express their right to exist freely, to gather and celebrate life together! To remind each other what it means to be alive!
Below are the lyrics of the song, in Spanish and then in English! This action was about spreading love, it was about spreading awareness, it was about expressing ourselves and our right to be free!
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción,
que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón,
que no paremos nuestra danza al sol,
oh, no no no no no.
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción,que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón,que no paremos nuestra danza al sol.
Nosotros pájaros de paso, libres y en paz pero no mansos,nunca comemos de la mano,
En vista de lo que hoy es cierto, queremos romper el silencio, y cuando escuchamos en la tele al señorito que defiende la bondad de la sentencia mostramos nuestra irreverencia,pero siempre con elegancia.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no...
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción,que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón,que no paremos nuestra danza al sol
Oh no no no no no
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción,que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón,que no paremos nuestra danza al sol.
Casa, trabajo y a lo sumo una terraza con consumo,el absurdo hecho ordenanza, Y atención a aquel que piensa,y atención a aquel que baila.Cada medida autoritaria o libertad arrebatada, va agotando la confianza,tales niveles de insistencia en confinar nuestra conciencia.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no...
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción,que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón,que no paremos nuestra danza al sol
Oh no no no no no
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción, que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón, que no paremos nuestra danza al sol.
Mejor no dejarse impresionar por toda esa gente irracional, vendiendo miedo en abundancia, Mejor tenerlos a distancia,ser la decencia en la desgracia.Salvemos la salud mental,del medio ambiente y social,nuestra risa e inteligencia,no caigamos sin resistencia en las garras de su demencia.
Oh no no no no no
La intención es que sigamos con muestra canción que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón, que no paremos nuestra danza al sol.
Oh no no no no no.
La intención es que sigamos con nuestra canción, que cuerpo y alma se unan con razón, que no paremos nuestra danza al sol.“
The intention is that we continue with our song,that body and soul unite with reason,that we do not stop our dance in the sun,
oh no no no no no
The intention is that we continue with our song,that body and soul unite with reason,that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
We passing birds, free and at peace, but not meek,we never eat hand in hand,In view of what is true today we want to break the silence and when we hear on TV to the gentleman who defends the goodness of the sentence
we show our irreverence,but always with elegance.
Oh no no no no no ...
The intention is that we continue with our song,that body and soul unite with reason,that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
Oh no no no no no
The intention is that we continue with our song,that body and soul unite with reason,that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
Home, work and at most a terrace with consumption,
the absurd done ordinance. And pay attention to the one who thinks,and attention to the one who dances.
Every authoritarian measure or freedom taken away, trust is depleting, such levels of insistence, in confining our consciousness.
Oh no no no no no ...The intention is that we continue with our song,that body and soul unite with reason,that we do not stop our dance in the sun
Oh no no no no no
The intention is that we continue with our song, that body and soul unite with reason, that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
Better not be impressed
for all those irrational people
selling fear in abundance
Better to have them at a distance,
be decency in disgrace.
Let's save mental health,
environmental and social,
our laughter and intelligence,
let's not fall without resistance
in the clutches of his madness.
Oh no no no no no
The intention is that we continue with a song that body and soul unite with reason, that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
Oh no no no no no.
The intention is that we continue with our song, that body and soul unite with reason, that we do not stop our dance in the sun.
Wishing you all a magical weekend!
