3 of my friends have coordinated Periods… that is definitively not a good thing!
I always get in the middle of the bitching drama that accompanies Nature’s greatest GymClass excuse. This was one of those Hell-weeks and it was a really, really, really, bad one. I had never done so much counseling in my life… it was sooooo stereotypically wrong!
I’m so lucky though, cause I never get cramps, rarely get moody, and usually have an incident free period… but I guess that was too much info LOL.
There’s really no point to this little story just a song I wanna share.

I heard this song a while back and I kinda have a love/hate thing for it. I love the poetry of it all, but there are a few things that bother me… like with most of Arjona’s songs.
It is called “De vez en Mes” I did my best to translate it and stay fateful to the lyrics.
I would love to hear you guy’s take of the song.

*Hear it and watch it here*

De Vez En Mes / At Times per Month
Ricardo Arjona

De vez en mes te haces artista, / At times per month you become and artist
dejando un cuadro impresionista / leaving behind an impressionist painting
debajo del edredón. / under the covers.
De vez en mes con tu acuarela, / At times per month with your water-paint
pintas girones de ciruela / you paint shreds of plum
que van a dar hasta el colchón. / that bleed through the mattress.
De vez en mes un detergente, / At times per month a detergent,
se roba el arte intermitente / steals the intermittent art
de tu vientre y su creacion. / of your belly and it’s creation.
Si es natural cuando eres dama, / It is natural when you’re a woman
que pintes rosas en la cama / to paint roses on the bed
una vez de vez en mes. / Some times month per month
[Chorus]
De vez en mes / At times per month
una cigüeña se suicida, / a stork commits suicide
y ahí estás tú tan deprimida / and there you are so depressed
buscándole una explicación. / searching for an explanation
De vez en mes / At times per month
el cielo te roba el milagro, / heaven steals your miracle,
el tiempo te hace un calendario / time makes you a calendar
de una vez, de vez en mes. / At times month per month.
De vez en mes / At times per month
tú me propones huelga de hambre, / you propose a fast,
yo algo de imaginación. / and I some imagination.
De vez en mes la luna nueva, / At times per month the new moon,
viene a quitar lo que renueva / comes to take away what she renewed
y a colocar otra ilusión. / and to place another illusion.
De vez en mes soy invisible, / At times per month I am invisible,
para intentar en lo possible / to try the impossible
no promover tu mal humor. / not to promote your bad mood.
De vez en mes no hay quien te aguante, / At times per month there’s no one that can stand you,
y es un pecado estar distante / and it is a sin to be distant
y otro peor quedarme ahí. / and a bigger one to stay there.
y aunque hay receso obligatorio, / and even though there is and obligatory hiatus,
y el cielo se hace un purgatorio / and heaven becomes purgatory
te amo más, de vez en mes. / I love you more month per month.
[Chorus]
De vez en mes / At times per month
tu vientre ensaya para cuna, / your belly tryout to become cradle
tu humor depende de la luna / your mood relays on the moon
y yo te quiero un poco más. / and I love you a little bit more.
De vez en mes / At times per month
a ti te da por tomar siestas, / you become sleepy
a tus hormonas por las fiestas / your hormones party-animals
y el culpable siempre yo. / and I am always to blame
De vez en mes / At times per month
no hay más reloj que el de tu cuerpo, / there’s no more clock than that of your body,
no hay más luz que la que das. / there’s no more light than that which you irradiate.
De vez en mes. / At times per month
De vez en mes. / At times per month
