Marcos Vidal is from Spain and he sings this song:
"Mi Regalo" (My gift)

I want to share with you the lirics and my attemp to translate it!

No son muchos pero Dios los puso ahí,
un poquito más cercanos, me los regaló a mí,
para hacerme comprender un poco más
el calibre del amor de mi Padre celestial.

No son muchos, pero no los hay mejores en la tierra,
sin temor a los leones en la arena.
Sólo pendientes de que alguien me proteja,
aunque el precio sea mayor, son amigos,
y no tengo que dar nombres o apellidos...
... porque ellos mismos ya se saben aludidos.

No son muchos pero Dios los puso ahí,
extranjeros de otra talla, tan insólitos aquí,
que me respetan y regañan a la vez,
y me quieren como soy, aunque me conocen bien.

Están cerca, no me es fácil engañarles,
porque llevan mis heridas y miserias en su pecho,
y jamás me echan en cara lo que han hecho,
aún teniendo una razón,

son amigos, no hace falta dar sus nombres o apellidos...
...porque de sobra ellos se saben aludidos.

No son muchos pero Dios los puso ahí,
peregrinos incansables, luchadores de marfil,
forasteros con nostalgia del hogar,
en sus frentes brilla el sol, en sus manos siempre
hay pan......

...y en sus labios
no hay engaño ni traición porque son sellos,
y jamás he visto zánganos más bellos,
ni me he reído tanto, como junto a ellos,
aún en medio del dolor,

son amigos,
y no quiero dar sus nombres ni apellidos...
...ellos lo saben y se dan por aludidos

There are not too many, but God placed them there,

A little closer He gave them as a gift to me,

To make me understand a little deeper His love for me as my heavenly father.

There aren’t many of them, but there are not better than them in earth.

They are always making sure that someone is protecting me, even if they have to pay the price, they are FRIENDS, and I don’t have to say their names ...

… they know who they are.

There are not many but God placed them there, foreign and bigger than me, so different here, they respect me , correct me, and love me as I am, even though they know how I am.

They are close, it is not easy for me to try to lie to them, because they carry my wounds and my sorrows in their hearts, and have never told me what they have done for me.

They are friends; I don’t have to say their names, because they already know it!

There are not many but God placed them there, peregrines that never get tired, fighters, foreigners that miss their home, in their face the sun shines, and in their hands there is always bread…

… and in their lips there are never tricks or lies,

And I have never seen weird creatures more beautiful than them, and I have never laugh so hard with anyone just with them, even when I am in pain,

They are friends,

And I don’t want to say their names or last names…

… they know and know that I am talking about them

Hola desde New York!

I am still in New York, I went to the movies yesterday with my mom and my cousin Jose,
we saw "spiderman" and it was very special to see the movie in New York!
We went for a walk after the movie but even I looked for him I did not see him "jumping around"

We went to Atlantic City today and it was pretty fun!

Hello from New York City!

I am having a good time with my mom, New Yorkers are so happy to see me here (yeah right...)
I will be going to the movies tonight and see my old time hero "spider man", and after the movie we will walk around in the city trying to see him jumping around from building to building, I hope I can get a good picture of him....

Life is such a miracle and Guille is one for sure!

He recognize my voice now, (maybe cause I talk a lot...???) he smiles a lot and he sure eats a lot!

Thank you for your prayes and please keep me in your prayers as my trip continues in USA.

Blessings to you!

I am in California now, my nephew is such a blessing!
He made his first field trip today! we went to the zoo, my aunt came from NY to see me and I am happy with my family and eating guatemalan food in USA!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

I have nothing but praise in my heart!

He is so good and powerful!

I survived to all my commitmets in MN and thank God I didn't mess up!
It was so good to spend time with old friends just to talk, pray and have fun.
I thank God for every person I saw, talked to or got a smile from, I thank God for the friends that hosted me in their homes, may Him bless them for taking the risk of having me with them!
I had a great time!
