Очень сильная лиричная баллада, подходящая к вокальному мастерству Мигеля.
Davinia - Mi obsession 9/10

Ramon del Castillo was born on 3 May 1985 in Las Palmas on Grand Canary. The youngest of three children, he was the first member of his family to take up music professionally.

Like most from the Canary Islands, Ramon has been into all kinds of water sports since he was a young boy. Until recently, he split his time between music and sailing, a sport in which he has won several national level competitions.
 
After coming 2nd in popular Spanish TV pop show, “Operacion Triunfo III,” he was chosen to represent Spain at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. It was something that convinced him to dedicate himself exclusively to music. At just 18-years-old Ramon already has a clear idea of what the future has in store for him.

Рамон дель Кастилльо родился 3 мая 1985 года в Лас Пальмасе на острове Гранд Канария. Младший из трех детей в семье, он стал первым, кто профессионально занялся музыкой.

Как и многие на Канарских островах Рамон занимался разными видами водного спорта. До последнего времени он занимался яхтовым спортом в котором он выиграл несколько соревнований на местном уровне, однако после 2 го места в шоу Операция Триумф он решил полностью посвятить себя музыкальной карьере.

There she was crying
Crying in her sorrow
Knowing you’re the reason
She is condemned

I loved her so
She was the blood in my veins
Not knowing her full moons
Belonged to someone else

And between your love and her pain
There is but one lament
I slowly burn, I slowly burn
But my heart said goodbye
And the sun shines once more
‘Cause you’ve given fire to my soul

Now I became empty only to be filled of you
Your body will be my refuge
And my earth, the soil for you to grow

Now I became empty only to be filled of you
My touch will be your force
And my flag, the light of your sweet love

And I will love you till there’s no more
And I will give you all of my love
And I will love you with all my strength
All for this love

And I will love you I’ll love you without limits
And I will give you all that I am
I will even give my life for this love

Now she’s far away
Like footsteps on the sand
Her memory is a bitter taste of mint and salt

You bring me peace
On my passionate nights
And no one will ever erase
Your silky skin
