I discovered Lhasa de Sela’s music in 1999 and she died of cancer New Year’s Day in 2010. Not enough time all the way around. She was born American, raised partly in Mexic0, and ended up living and singing in Montreal. And she could sing.

Llorando
de cara a la pared
se apaga la ciudad
Llorando
Y no hay màs
muero quizas
Adonde estàs?
Soñando
de cara a la pared
se quema la ciudad
Soñando
sin respirar
te quiero amar
te quiero amar
Rezando
de cara a la pared
se hunde la ciudad
Rezando
Santa Maria
Santa Maria

Haunting. I’m sorry for the loss of her and glad she is remembered here.
Lovely! Thanks for this!
