THE DOLPHIN ON 9/11

Check out this video from El Delfín, 'The Dolphin', a pop star from Ecuador. The song is about how he was planning to see his girlfriend in New York but then found out that she was killed in the 9/11 attacks. The lyrics are unbelievable. Read the translation after the jump.

When I went to look for you, I could not believe my eyes. The Towers in flames, filled with black smoke… And you in that place - Oh my God! Ayayayay!

From Ecuador, South America, "The Dolphin" sings to you.

When I went to New York I tried to meet my little love. She lived in New York and worked in Twin Towers. A call I received, but it just told me "Goodbye my love". A bad memory I lived it, the terrorists exterminated her. Who knows the truth? Who did this? And why did he do it? It cannot be my God. Heeeelp meee!

In that moment it was not saved by the money or by religion. And you stay buried there under the debris of Twin Towers. How much I wanted to be with you. I never thought you were gonna die. Little God of mine this cannot be. Only by crying can I forget.

(On screen) I pay homage to all my countrymen who lost their lives September 11th 2001.

Looking for the American dream! Ayayayay!

(Bookings… again)

For all the friends in the USA - hear this: Be strong, compadre!

From Ecuador, with loads of love…

"Dolphin" to the end…

See you… Byeeee!
