Riding hot on the tails of music from Mali is Mexico. Volovan is a group I discovered when I saw Y Tu Mama Tambien. Below are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by the group. It's called Monitor and I translated as best I could. Enjoy :) If anyone needs another recommendation for a great Mexican artist - Julietta Venega, Mana, and Cafe Tacuba are some greats that are constantly streaming through my iPod.
Nos hablamos pero no sabemos si será
Volcados en la ilusion
Me voy en un segundo
Hoy nesecito estar sentado desde aqui
Y los dos llegamos tarde para decirnos que
Y aunque eres invisible
Pero atra vez de ti
Y siendo intocable
Yo te siento en mis sueños
Y me lamento por no estar alla
Y hoy te miento para estar solo
Tu y yo
Y la distancia le gano al amor
Solo te veo en el monitor ouuh uooh
Esperando respuesta veo que hoy
Tu ausencia llega nada mas
Las cosas deben de seguir
Y no sabemos si se van
Hoy nesecito estar sentado desde aqui
Y los dos llegamos tarde para decirnos que
Y aunque eres invisible
Pero atra vez de ti
Y siendo intocable
Yo te siento en mis sueños
Y me lamento por no estar alla
Y hoy te miento para estar solos
Tu y yo
Y la distancia le gano al amor
Solo te veo en el monitor ouuh uooh
Y me lamento por no estar alla
Y hoy te miento para estar solo
Tu y yo

We talk but we don't know
if we will be upset by the illusion
I will leave in a moment
Today, I need to be seated here
Although we both arrive late, and tell ourselves, what?
though you're invisible
you move back instead
being untouchable
I feel you in my dreams
I'm sorry for not being there
now I ask to you if we can be alone
just you and me
the distance to win her love
you only see on the monitor
I see that now, as I wait for a response
nothing comes except your absence
things should continue
although we don't know if they will
Today, I need to be seated here
Although we both arrive late, and tell ourselves, what?
though you're invisible
you move back instead
being untouchable
I feel you in my dreams
I'm sorry for not being there
now I ask to you if we can be alone
just you and me
the distance to win her love
you only see on the monitor
I'm sorry for not being there
now I ask to you if we can be alone
just you and me
