Viva Alegria!

"Alegria
come un lampo di vita
Alegria
come un pazzo gridar
Alegria
Del delittuso grido
Bella ruggente pena
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow
So extream
There a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling

Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridar
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Del delituso grido
Bella ruggente pena
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un asslto gioia

Alegria
Como la luz de la vida
Alegria
Como un payaso que grita
Alegria
Del estupendo grito
De la triseza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un aslto de felicidad

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un aslto de felicidad

There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous, magical feeling"

Alegria- my obsession. It all began about eight years ago watching Bravo one night when I was first introduced to the enchanment of Cirque du Soliel and the enticement of Alegria. Of all the shows it is still my favorite.

In lieu of a traditional honeymoon Miguel and I went to see Alegria live. There were times where I was hardly breathing, my mouth open, my eyes wide in excitement and anticipation. I had waited years and the performance did not disappoint.

For those of you unfamiliar with Cirque du Soliel, or it's show Alegria, allow me to share a small snippet with you:

Pure magic, pure genius, pure passion. I could see the joy on the entertainer's faces as they performed, it was infectious and electric.

Alegria was the first song I ever purchased from itunes and has more plays than any other song in my music library. It was one of the first things I looked up when I got my mac!

Viva l'Alegria!
