Cuando los ángeles lloran
lluvia cae sobre la aldea
lluvia sobre el campanario
pues alguien murió
Un ángel cayó
un ángel murió
un ángel se fue
y no volverá
Cuando los ángeles lloran
lloverá
Roughly translated as " when the angels cry, it rains on the village, on the bell tower; someone died, an angel died, and he will never return. When the angels cry, it will rain."
~From "Cuando los angels lloran" by one of my favorite Spanish bands, Mana. Written for activist Chico Mendez after he was killed for his efforts to stop logging in the Amazon.

makes you wonder if there is any purpose of taking up causes for the greater good. today the amazon is critical to countering global warming while the road through the heart of it is critical to the economy of the local people. there will be a lot of rain either way...
