Just HAD to post this. I have been enamoured my this music and the song. Yes, the link I'll be providing is to the Uruguayan musician Jorge Drexler's "Todo se Transforma". This song has been stuck inside my head for the last few days. Simply love it. To give a peek into Drexler, he's the same guy who sang the very beautifully haunting "Al Otro la do del rio" from the film "The Motorcycle Diaries"( Another favorite).
Anyways, here's the link:
Jorge Drexler's "Todo se Transforma"
10 after-thought(s):

That is nothing.. thats what I say.. the world has too many beautiful things that are waiting to be discovered by us. I am giving the English translation to further enhance its beauty:

Tu boca roja en la mía,
Your red mouth in mine
la copa que gira en mi mano

transformado, volvería

Never sampled any of his music. Thanks for the recommendation...will stack it in my to-listen list.

@Sujoy:
Thanks for the holi wishes... hope you'd a colourful one. Drexler was an amazing find for me, hopefully you'll equally enjoy his music.
