One Second Everyday - March 2020

What a tumultuous month this has been! Putting together this video, I can't believe that at the beginning of the month we were at the beach with Christian and Daisy and family (who are now waiting out the corona-storm in Scotland), and then at the A-frame house in El Valle celebrating David's belated birthday. And later here in our house celebrating Simon's actual birthday - in full-on corona-shutdown. It's been a whirlwind of a month, in a very strange way. I feel like time is passing very oddly. I can't tell if it's slow or fast; it just seems eerie, surreal, strange.

I added a jaunty little coronavirus song (“La Cumbia del Coranavirus” by Mister Cumbia) as the soundtrack to the video. It seems a little overly cheerful in this dark time. But it's is all about hand washing and social distancing, a positive public health message...

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Lávense las manos, háganlo seguido
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Pónganse las pilas en lugares concurridos

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
No se toquen la cara, evitenlo, amigos
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Usen desinfectante, eso es muy efectivo

Y este es el rey de las cumbias virales
Mister Cumbia

Todo el mundo está espantado
Con una enfermedad
Se llama el Coronavirus
Y es una alarma mundial

Se dice que nació en China
Varios muertos hay por allá
Hay que ponernos atentos
Nos tenemos que cuidar

Para ponernos las pilas
Pa' eso hice esta canción
No todo en la vida es meme
Como la cumbia del avión

Lo mejor es prevenirnos
Unos datos dejo yo
Todos debemos cuidarnos
Pongan mucha atención

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Lávense las manos, háganlo seguido
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Pónganse las pilas en lugares concurridos

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
No se toquen la cara, evítenlo, amigos
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Usen desinfectante, eso es muy efectivo

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Wash your hands, do it often
Coronavirus, Coronavirus 
We have to pay attention in crowded places

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Don't touch your face, avoid it, friends
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Use disinfectant, that's very effective

And this is the king of viral cumbias
Mister Cumbia

Everyone is scared
With a disease
It is called the Coronavirus
And it's a world alarm

It is said that he was born in China
There are several dead over there
We have to pay attention
We have to take care
We have to pay attention
For that I made this song
Not everything in life is a meme
Like the cumbia on the plane

It is best to prevent ourselves
Some data I share
We should all take care of ourselves
Pay close attention

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Wash your hands, do it often
Coronavirus, Coronavirus 
We have to pay attention in crowded places

Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Don't touch your face, avoid it, friends
Coronavirus, Coronavirus
Use disinfectant, that's very effective
