Where can I find the lyrics in Spanish of the 1996 USA Olymic Games
which Gloria Estefan sang and composed as well as purchase the CD with
her singing it?  (I heard the song on a NYC radio station.)
     Sting composed and sang a song in the 1980s about the Argentinian
dictatorship and the government watching its people: "Every breath you
take, every vow you break".  Where is there printed reference as to
why he composed that song? as well as where is there any video footage
of the concert that I saw broadcast from the ? Rio de la Plata
stadium.  (It was a very emotional concert with many grandmothers on
stage;  their children and grandchildren were among "The Disappeared".
 It was probably broadcast from a PBS station.)
Thank you!

Hello pembroke9-ga,

Based on everything I have read, I don?t believe that ?Every Breath
You Take?, by Sting is about the Argentinean dictatorship.


You can read the lyrics and get more information about the song at Sting?s website.

?I deconstructed ?Every Breath You Take? (on VH1 Storytellers), my
most popular song. It does obey all the rules, except that the twist
is there's no escape: it's circular, this guy is trapped and enjoying
it. That's why it's a dark song. But what I've learnt in the last ten
years is to try to make songs that do have that escape, that
catharsis, which is good for me and good for the listener. If I wrote
it now I think I would make it move on, break the guy out of the cycle
he's in.?

?It's very seductive to be loved in that manner, the feeling of being
owned, possessed. It's a double standard. A lot of the relationships
I've been in are like this. Too often we tend to want what's bad for
us. It was also a good song for Reagan's America, the idea of
constantly being under surveillance.?




He did write a song called ?They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)?, about The
mothers and wives of "the disappeared" in Chile.

?"This was something that I saw when I went to Chile with the Police.
The mothers and wives of "the disappeared" do this amazing thing; they
pin photographs of their loved ones to their clothes and go out in
groups and do this folk dance with invisible partners in front of the
police station. It's this incredible gesture of grief and protest. But
it's a feminine way of combating oppression.?


I hope this helps.

Thank you for the information on Sting.  Any luck on the Estefan song
or do I need to ask it as a separate quetion.

Hello pembroke9-ga,

It would probably be a good idea to close this question and ask a new
one addressing only the Gloria Estefan song.  Another researcher may
be able to help you with that one.
