Lhasa deixou-nos há quatro anos...
We have always heard something ancestral coming through her. She has always spoken from the threshold between the worlds, outside of time. She has always sung of human tragedy and triumph, estrangement and seeking with a Witness's wisdom. She has placed her life at the feet of the Unseen.

Lhasa de Sela morreu há dois anos
The singer Lhasa de Sela passed away in her Montreal home on the night of January 1st 2010, just before midnight.
She succumbed to breast cancer after a twenty-one month long struggle, which she faced with courage and determination.
Throughout this difficult period, she continued to touch the lives of those around her with her characteristic grace, beauty and humor. The strength of her will carried her once again into the recording studio, where she completed her latest album, followed by successful record launches in Montreal at the Théatre Corona and in Paris at the Théatre des Bouffes du Nord. Two concerts in Iceland in May were to be her last.She was forced to cancel a long international tour scheduled for autumn 2009. A projected album of the songs of Victor Jara and Violeta Parra would also remain unrealized.
Lhasa de Sela was born on September 27, 1972, in Big Indian, New York.
Lhasa's unusual childhood was marked by long periods of nomadic wandering through Mexico and the U.S., with her parents and sisters in the school bus which was their home. During this period the children improvised, both theatrically and musically, performing for their parents on a nightly basis. Lhasa grew up in a world imbued with artistic discovery, far from conventional culture.
Later Lhasa became the exceptional artist that the entire world discovered in 1997 with La Llorona, followed by 2003's The Living Road, and 2009's self-titled LHASA. These three albums have sold over a million copies world-wide.
It is difficult to describe her unique voice and stage presence, which earned her iconic status in many countries throughout the world, but some Journalists have described it as passionate, sensual, untameable, tender, profound, troubling, enchanting, hypnotic, hushed, powerful, intense, a voice for all time.
Lhasa had a unique way of communicating with her public. She dared to open her heart on stage, allowing her audience to experience an intimate connection and communion with her. She profoundly affected and inspired many people throughout the cities and countries she visited.
An old friend of Lhasa's, Jules Beckman, offered these words:
"We have always heard something ancestral coming through her. She has always spoken from the threshold between the worlds, outside of time. She has always sung of human tragedy and triumph, estrangement and seeking with a Witness's wisdom. She has placed her life at the feet of the Unseen."
Lhasa leaves behind her partner Ryan, her parents Alejandro and Alexandra, her step-mother Marybeth, her 9 brothers and sisters (Gabriela, Samantha, Ayin, Sky, Miriam, Alex, Ben, Mischa and Eden), her 16 nieces and nephews, her cat Isaan, and countless friends, musicians, and colleagues who have accompanied her throughout her career, not to mention her innumerable admirers throughout the world.
Her family and close friends were able to mourn peacefully during the last two days, and greatly appreciated this meaningful period of quiet intimacy. Funeral and services will be held privately.
It has snowed more than 40 hours in Montreal since Lhasa's departure.

Abro la ventana
Ahora me levanto
de esta cama
Ahora abro la ventana
y entra la luz con el viento
Ahora te siento
y estás tan lejos de aquí
Si un día te vas
y ya no vuelves más
Si un día me voy
y ya no vuelvo yo
Que largo es el mundo
es infinito
Ayer te tuve en mis brazos
y hoy como un grano de arena
en algún suelo ajeno
estás escondido de mí
Si un día te vas
y ya no vuelves más
Si un día me voy
y ya no vuelvo yo
entras tú…
Que grán silencio
todo en suspenso
Que vértigo de no verte
Retumbo como una campana
Abro la ventana
y entras tú
entras tú…

fool's gold
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU'D STAY WITH ME
AND SHELTER ME FOREVER
THAT WAS A HARD PROMISE TO KEEP
I CAN'T BLAME YOU FOR THE BAD WEATHER
AFTER ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE
I WON'T ASK YOU WHERE YOU'RE GOING
DON'T KEEP IN TOUCH, I DON'T MISS YOU MUCH
EXCEPT SOMETIMES EARLY IN THE MORNING
NOW USE YOUR SILVER TONGUE ONCE MORE
THERE'S ONE THING THAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW
DID YOU EVER BELIEVE THE LIES THAT YOU TOLD
DID YOU EARN THE FOOL'S GOLD THAT YOU GAVE ME
I FORGIVE YOU WANTING TO BE FREE
I REALIZE YOU LONG TO WANDER
AND I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR ROVING EYES
I JUST CAN'T FORGIVE YOUR BAD MANNERS
NOW USE YOUR SILVER TONGUE ONCE MORE
THERE'S ONE THING THAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW
DID YOU EVER BELIEVE THE LIES THAT YOU TOLD
DID YOU EARN THE FOOL'S GOLD THAT YOU GAVE ME

Música para uma nossa leitora fiel
And carried away
I got turned, turned around
I got caught in a storm
That's what happened to me
So I didn't call
And you didn't see me for a while
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
I was caught in a storm
Things were flying around
And doors were slamming
And windows were breaking
And I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
Rising up
Rising up

Mais duas canções de Llassa
De dire que je t'ai trahi
Par pure paresse
Par pure mélancolie
Qu'entre toi
Et le Diable
J'ai choisi le plus
Confortable
Mais tout cela
N'est pas pourquoi
Je me sens coupable
Mon cher ami
Je n'ai pas peur de dire
Que tu me fais peur
Avec ton espoir
Et ton grand sens
De l'honneur
Tu me donnes envie
De tout détruire
De t'arracher
Le beau sourire
ET même ça
N'est pas pourquoi
Je me sens coupable
C'est ça le pire
Je me sens coupable
Parce que j'ai l'habitude
C'est la seule chose
Que je peux faire
Avec une certaine
Certitude
C'est rassurant
De penser
Que je suis sûre
Se ne pas me tromper
Quand il s'agit
De la question
De ma grande culpabilité
Je n'ai pas peur
De dire que j'ai triché
j'ai mis les plus pures
De mes pensées
Sur le marché
J'ai envie de laisser tomber
Toute cette idée
De "vérité"
Je garderais
Pour me guider
Plaisir et culpabilité
Why don't you ask me
How long I've been waiting
Set down on the road
With the gunshots exploding
I'm waiting for you
In the gloom and the blazing
I'm waiting for you
I sing like a slave I know
I should know better
I've learned all my lessons
Right down to the letter
And still I go on like this
Year after year
Waiting for miracles
And shaking with fear
Why don't you answer
Why don't you come save me
Show me how to use
All these things
That you gave me
Turn me inside out
So my bones can save me
Turn me inside out
You've come this close
You can come even closer
The gunshots get louder
And the world spins faster
And things just get further
And further apart
The head from the hands
And the hands from the heart
One thing that's true
Is the way that I love him
The earth down below
And the sky up above him
And still I go on like this
Day after day
Still I go on like this
Now I've said this
I already feel stronger
I can't keep waiting for you
Any longer
I need you now
Not someday
When I'm ready
Come down on the road
Come down on the road
My name, my name
Nothing is the same
I won't go back
The way I came
