You need to see the fun in practising. Because there is no destination in tango.Lucy, from Thursday night tango.

Ultimately, my whole approach to what I do is 95% effort and 5% talent. I really see it as a sport. You probably won’t become a tennis player if you don’t stand on the court for six hours a day and whack balls over the net. And if you do that, you have to be incredibly untalented for it not to work. But I think it’s tempting to think as a creative professional, you sit there and you’re creative. So much of it is just doing it everyday for hours.“Christoph Niemann: Short Deadlines Make You Think Straight” interview with Jocelyn K. Glei on The 99%; via Jack Cheng.

Nada
Nada, nada queda de tu casa natal
solo telarañas que teje el yuyal.
El rosal tampoco existe
y es seguro que se ha muerto al irte tu
Todo es una cruz!
Nada, nada más que tristeza y quietud
Nadie que me diga si vives aun
Donde estas … para decirte
que hoy he vuelto arrepentido
a buscar tu amor?
Nothing, nothing’s left of the house where you were born,
nothing now but cobwebs that thread the overgrowth.
The rosebush too, it isn’t here
and surely it must have died at your departure
It’s all a cross for me!
Nothing, nothing more than a melancholy calm,
no one who can tell me if you’re still alive at all
Where’d you go … now who can tell you
that I’ve come back today a changed man
in search of your love?
from ‘Nada’ (Music: José Dames, Lyrics: Horacio Sanguinetti, Translation: Jake Spatz)
Emma Milan has a good rendition in her album Serenata Porteña.

I write a little. I dance a bit. I shoot, some. But I watch . . . probably too much.
