A traves de la Ventana from 1977 is a blend of Brand X and Mahavishnu, a great progressive jazz rock album, mostly instrumental and almost impossible to find, no CD available. Aditus 2 from 1979 is a very different work, more Latin jazz rock oriented at times like early Santana but with sax and keyboards instead, instrumental. No CD reedition.

Fuera de la Ley - 1981 , this is it! For fans of the first 3 works of Saga, blend it with the first Asia and this is what you get, obscure and totally ignored. The guitar player left Tempano and joined them, after this one the band went mainstream, in the mid 90's the guitar player left them and joined with the other 3 original members of Tempano and went back to their progressive roots. The singer (the guitar player) is phenomenal!! No CD reedition.

Perdiendo altura
Aditus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aqui estoy otra vez
Conversando conmigo,
Y me pregunto si vale la pena
Seguir amandonos
De que vale soñar
Nuestro mundo perdido
De que vale soñar
Si el amor se ha ido

Me canse de tratar de ser
Lo que ya no puede ser
Las cartas echadas
Los ojos cansados de ver el final
Y tendre que aceptar
Que otras manos te toquen
Y a otro cuerpo le des
El amor que escondes

Refrão:
Estoy aprendiendo a vivir
Estoy aprendiendo a volar
Se que la leccion es dura
Y voy perdiendo altura

Observo las cartas de amor
Que escribias para mi
Y veo en silencio
El amargo final que el destino nos brindo
Todo puede pasar, ahora estoy convencido
Todo puede pasar, si el amor se ha ido

(repete refrão)
